Confused about a "mild" Alzheimer's diagnosis.

My husband has mild cognitive impairment in the early stages. The therapist is aware that he has Alzheimer's and is showing him ways to remember better. He is keeping a diary of things that he needs to remember. He can look back and refer to his notes.
He is still very much aware of what is being said to him and understands most.

@rebbie28 agree. The Speech Therapy label is very misleading. It is really coping mechanisms such as calendars and pill minders and how to keep discussion going when you can’t recall a word -and such as that.

@rebbie28 I like the diary idea; I don't know if my husband would do it, but I like giving him the idea.
