60 minutes – Fronto-temporal dementia story 5-5-19

unsatisfactory!

Hi,

I watched 60 Minutes’s program on Fronto-temporal dementia (FTD)
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/frontotemporal-dementia-devastating-prevalent-and-little-understood-60-minutes-2019-05-05/ and was glad that they discussed it and showed a woman with the speech variant of FTD which is also called primary progressive aphasia (PPA). BUT they never identified the speech variant as PPA, nor did they mention any kind of communication help that can be provided. Maybe that information was left on the editing room floor but nonetheless I was very disappointed!
