Dementia can affect your speech in other ways too.

Some people may not struggle to find the right words, but become unable to place words in the correct order, making their sentences difficult to follow.

For some who learned a second language, for example moving to the UK as a child and adopting English as their second language, they may revert back to their mother tongue: the first language they spoke.

Dementia can also impair a person’s ability to keep up with a conversation as they may take longer to process information from what you’re saying.

Some people with dementia manage to communicate using non-verbal forms of communication.
