Healthcare Professionals

A central focus of AFTD’s mission is to educate physicians and professionals across all areas of health care about frontotemporal degeneration and how to improve patient care. These pages are designed as a resource for health professionals to understand the diagnostic criteria, treatment and course of FTD.   Education about the disorders and increased awareness of the needs of patients and families will help people deliver quality services to those affected by FTD, whether in a primary care practice, adult day program, home health agency or nursing facility.
