Your method of communication may need to adapt and change as the Dementia develops and progresses or depending on the type of Dementia.<\/p>\r\n<p>Dementia can influence a person&#8217;s ability to communicate and interact with others and those living with Dementia often find it difficult to process information and will find it increasingly difficult to speak, read and write over time. Those living with Dementia may also have difficulties with social skills, as the Dementia progresses, and this will see a further decline in that person&#8217;s ability to communicate and interact.<\/p>\r\n\t<h2>\r\n\t\t\t\tTips for Effective Communication\r\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\"
