Overview

Part of AFTD’s Healthcare Professional Webinar Series

With primary progressive aphasia (PPA), problems with language and communication typically deteriorate gradually over time. Initial symptoms are sometimes attributed to anxiety or stress until the ongoing symptoms become disruptive enough to prompt further assessment by a specialist. This webinar is intended for clinicians to support early detection and accurate diagnosis of PPA.  

Learning Objectives

Learners will be able to:  

• Describe the process for diagnosing PPA. 
• Recognize the inclusion and exclusion criteria for making a PPA diagnosis. 
• List common clinical presentations for PPA subtypes.
