REVIEWS______________________________________________________________

"Such an excellent resource for families trying to manage a loved one with Alzheimer's Disease, teaching them valuable easy techniques for keeping communication going and helping to reduce frustrations. A must read. Joanne was a welcomed guest on my radio program, a delight, with so much important information to share." - Jacqueline Marcell, Author of "Elder Rage" and Host of the "Coping with Caregiving" Radio Program on wsRadio.com

"(This book) offers countless practical tips for coping with and caring for a loved one with the disease. It is an excellent and useful guide for anyone coping with the stress of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's, and a boon to caregivers and persons with the illness alike." - The Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation

"When does a "senior moment" become the signs of Alzheimer's and what do you, the caregiver, do? Joanne Koenig Coste has written "Learning To Speak Alzheimer's: A Groundbreaking Approach for Everyone Dealing with the Disease".. a book like this helps to remind the caregiver that they are not alone." - CONNIE MARTINSON TALKS BOOKS 1/2/2004

"I seldom recommend a book this highly-but if you care for someone with dementia, or other loss-of-independence disorders, get, read, and keep this book as a well-indexed resource. Fabulous book on compassionate, realistic, care-giving. (Author prefers, *care-partnering*--nice.) Insightful, simple, practical and compassionate guide." - Bestselling author and stress-relief expert Susie Mantell
