Speech and Phonological Impairment in Alzheimer?s Disease: Challenges, Interventions, and Future Directions

Elena Williams

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline, memory impairment, and communication difficulties. Among the various aspects affected, speech and phonological abilities are significantly impacted throughout the disease’s progression. This review article aims to explore the literature on speech and phonological impairment in Alzheimer’s disease and how these deficits evolve across different stages of the condition. Understanding the nature of these impairments can assist in early detection and appropriate interventions to improve the quality of life for individuals affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
