EP 100 :: Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) :: Susan Dickinson
Susan Dickinson, MSGC, is the CEO of the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD). A genetic counselor, she brings more than three decades of experience facilitating communications among lay, scientific, and medical communities.
FTD is the most common form of dementia for people under age 60. It represents a group of brain disorders caused by degeneration of the frontal and/or temporal lobes of the brain.
“The experienced caregivers and care partners are the experts on day-to-day management of any form of dementia and the ability for them to come together with people who are ahead of you on this journey or who have walked the path before is incredibly valuable.” Susan explains.
You can learn more about FTD and AFTD on the AFTD website and follow AFTD on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
