At the first ALS Clinic appointment after my husband was diagnosed voice banking was brought up. I didn't get right on it because I knew he probably also had FTD. It has been almost a year since diagnosis and he is still speaking, but has primary progressive aphasia - the logopenic variety. So basically he is losing language. He doesn't read anymore and it is impossible to hold a conversation. Any advice on communication assistance in these circumstances would be appreciated. Our next clinic appointment is Wednesday and I want to discuss this issue with the speech pathologist.
