Abstract:
Traditionally, speech-language pathologists have treated patients who have suffered from strokes that resulted in aphasia, but have not always worked with patients labelled as having multiinfarct dementia (MID). Patients with MID also have difficulties with communication in which the speech-language pathologist's input would be beneficial. This article examines the clinical characteristics and neurology of MiD along with the assessment and clinical issues that need to be examined if speech-language pathologists are to evaluate and treat these patients more effectively.
