Frontotemporal Dementia

A group of disorders caused by progressive degeneration of the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, primarily affecting personality, behavior, and language. Unlike Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia often begins before age 60 and initially impacts executive function, social behavior, and language rather than memory. For digital accessibility, FTD presents challenges related to impulse control, planning and sequencing tasks, understanding social cues in digital communication, and processing complex language in interfaces.
