ASHA demographics of the USA
Each year:
-1.4 million people sustain TBI
-50,000 die
-230,000-250,000 adults are hospitalized
-1.1 from ER
-About 40% will still need help one year later

-"dementia" is an umbrella term
-it is progressive
-there are numerous causes
-alzheimer's disease is just one of the causes of dementia

Who has dementia?
-fewer than 15% of the elderly experience dementia
-10% of the 65+ population has Alzheimer's disease
-50% of the 85+ population has Alzheimer's disease
-10% of the 65+ population has Alzheimer's disease
-50% of the 85+ population has Alzheimer's disease
What are the symptoms of dementia?
-Memory deficits
-AND at least one of the following: aphasia, apraxia, agnosia, and impaired executive function
-AND problems with employment and/or social functioning secondary to deficits
-AND at least one of the following: aphasia, apraxia, agnosia, and impaired executive function
-AND problems with employment and/or social functioning secondary to deficits
What is working memory?
It holds information long enough for you to decide or act on something
What are the types of long-term memory?
Declarative-things you say
Procedural-things you do
Procedural-things you do
What are some communication strategies when talking with those that have dementia?
-Show not tell (procedural)
-Engage in procedural tasks (procedural)
-Reminisce about decades ago, not hours ago
-Constant correction causes social isolation: don't correct, validade
-validation therapy
-reminiscence therapy

Summary of cognitive communication disorders.
-Site of sites of lesion contribute to the patterns of difficulty the person has
-May involve linguistic and extralinguistic aspects
-Prognosis is influenced by the medical etiology of the disorder
-SLPs help the individual regain skills or compensate as appropriate

What is language?
-A socially shared code for representing concepts through the use of arbitrary symbols and rule-governed combos of those symbols
What is cognition?
When you think or use a conscious mental process.
Communication is a cognitive act.
Communication is a cognitive act.
What is language impairment?
-A heterogeneous group of deficits and/or immaturities in the comprehension and/or production of spoken or written language.
-May involve form, content, and/or use.
-May affect multiple modalities.
-May involve form, content, and/or use.
-May affect multiple modalities.
What are cognitive-communication deficits?
deficits secondary to impairments in the underlying cognitive processes used to support functional, meaningful and appropriate interactions
What are some acquired cognitive-linguistic disorders?
-Focal Lesions
-Left Side = Aphasia
-Right Side = RHD
-Multiple Lesions: more than one location of injury
-The disorder depends on the damage patterns in the brain and the etiology of the damage
-Left Side = Aphasia
-Right Side = RHD
-Multiple Lesions: more than one location of injury
-The disorder depends on the damage patterns in the brain and the etiology of the damage
What are some general trends of brain damage?
Focal damage to the left hemisphere = aphasia
Focal damage to the right hemisphere = cognitive-communication disorder
Diffuse damage across both hemispheres = cognitive-communication disorder, and possibly aphasia too
Focal damage to the right hemisphere = cognitive-communication disorder
Diffuse damage across both hemispheres = cognitive-communication disorder, and possibly aphasia too
What causes aphasia?
Anything that causes damage to the language centers in the left cerebral hemisphere: accidents, disease, tumors, strokes, etc.
What are the types of aphasia? Based on lesion site.
-Nonfluent (AKA Anterior)
-Broc'as
-Transcortical
-Global
-Fluent (AKA Posterior)
-Wernicke's
-Anomic
-Conduction
-Transcortical Sensory

What are some lifespan issues?
The sudden onset leads to a sudden disruption. The family and community are also disrupted.
What are cognitive communication deficits?
deficits secondary to impairments in the underlying cognitive processes used to support functional, meaningful and appropriate interactions
