This practical, compassionate guide demystifies FTD and equips families, friends, and care partners with clear next steps. In plain language, it explains how frontotemporal dementia differs from Alzheimer’s, what to expect across behavioral and language variants (including Primary Progressive Aphasia and the semantic variant), and how to respond when everyday life gets confusing or tense.

Drawing on real-world scenarios and caregiver tools, the book offers bite-size strategies you can use today—at home, in appointments, and in moments that feel overwhelming. You’ll learn how to create simple routines, reduce triggers, communicate when words are hard, and care for your own well-being along the way.

Inside, you’ll find:

What FTD is (and isn’t), with easy-to-follow explanations of symptoms and progression

Communication tips for PPA and word-finding challenges, including sample phrases and scripts

Behavior support plans for safety, wandering, apathy, impulsivity, and repetitive questions

Room-by-room home safety checklists and daily rhythm templates

Questions to ask your medical team, plus planning for respite, finances, and care transitions

Gentle encouragement, reflection prompts, and resources for support groups and services

Whether you’re newly navigating a diagnosis or deep into caregiving, this book helps you replace fear with understanding—and guesswork with practical, dignifying care.
