Abstract
Semantic dementia is a commonly accepted term for a language disorder resulting from neurodegenerative changes due to frontotemporal dementia. An intervention program was designed to halt and/or decelerate the effects of progressive anomia in AK, a 63-year-old female with semantic dementia. Pictorial stimuli were selected and labeled with their respective names and a description most relevant to AK's experience. Daily homework assignments were carried out, during which AK looked at the picture, read the label aloud, and read the description. Positive short-term effects of treatment were observed on treated items.Entities:
