The Dementia Dictionary contains thousands of definitions for a wide range of behaviours, actions, and vocalisations, helping people to understand what is being communicated through these actions, as well as some useful pointers and advice for how to respond to these situations based on what is being communicated.

The Dementia Dictionary is enabling people around the world to better connect with people who previously had been unable to do so. Our ultimate aim is that this resource will stop all of the labelling that tends to happen with people living with dementia, labels such as ‘challenging’ and ‘aggressive’, as people will now be able to understand that these behaviours are actually forms of communication
