The seventh episode of From Care to Cure, a podcast from the Massachusetts General Hospital Frontotemporal Disorders Unit, is available now. This episode features a conversation between Dr. Brad Dickerson, Director of the MGH FTD Unit, and Katie Brandt, the Director of Caregiver Support Services and Public Relations in the Unit, about treatments for the communication challenges that come with primary progressive aphasia and other forms of FTD. They discuss the importance of treatment, compensatory communication strategies and tools as well as support and educational resources for living with PPA.
We would like to thank Bernie Metzger for our beautiful music, an excerpt from Bernie’s composition Ramblings An FTD Journey, inspired by his wife Karen Zander’s journey with FTD.
Amy Almeida is our producer.
