Talking Sense: Understanding Sensory Challenges & Dementia

Written by Dementia Support Australia | Sep 2, 2022 5:34:17 AM

We discuss the sensory changes in dementia and its limited awareness as a symptom in the field of dementia.

A/Prof Colm is joined by Agnes Houston MBE, author of the internationally acclaimed book Talking Sense: Living with Sensory Changes & Dementia.

Together, they explore Agnes’ journey as a campaigner for the voice of people with dementia, her own dementia diagnosis, and her subsequent search for independence and understanding of sensory changes people with dementia experience.
