Allyson gave a superb presentation for the King County Library System called How to Be a Friend to Someone with Dementia. It covers many topics such as clarifying what dementia is, and is not, what to say to someone who receives a diagnosis, how to communicate with someone who can no longer carry on a conversation, and much more.
