VISUAL DISFUNCTION IN DEMENTIA TIPS
i found this info about ALZ-Posterior Cortical Atrophy and thought I might help someone else. There is a tip sheet you can download at the link at the end of the first paragraph. Visual Disfunction also affects people with LBD. https://medschool.cuanschutz.edu/pca/what-is-pca/tips-for-living-with-PCA

Interesting - thank you for posting that.
Helpful that it mentions the hallucinations. This is fairly common with PWD. my mom just recently said she has spoken with her brother and her father. Her brother passed over 75 years ago, and my grandfather passed in '92.

Thank you do much for finding and posting this very informative site, Diane! It's probably better than an OT consultation. I discovered something that applies to my vision, even though I don't have PCA.
