Bayles (communication sciences and disorders, U. of Central Arkansas) and Tomoeda (development, and formerly speech, language, and hearing sciences, U. of Arizona) explain the evaluation and evidence-based treatment of the cognitive-communication disorders associated with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease for graduate students and clinicians in speech-language pathology. They provide an overview of cognition and memory, MCI, and Alzheimer's dementia, and describe assessment, including the role of speech-language pathologists; the rationale for intervention; cognitive stimulation programming for MCI; direct interventions; and indirect interventions for Alzheimer's. Also included is a chapter on cognitive intervention and MCI by an additional author. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
