🧠✨Did you know that Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) can mimic dementia—impacting thinking, memory, and even how we speak? ✨🧠
In the attached we break down how fluid build-up in the brain may lead to slowed, disorganised speech, word-finding struggles, and reduced conversational engagement. Then explore how speech and language therapists help with assessment, support pre- and post-shunt surgery, and offer strategies to boost communication and quality of life.
