Common Language Document

The Alzheimer Society has developed common language guidelines as a tool for anyone who lives with, supports or cares about a person living with Alzheimer's or a related disease. By consciously using language in a more sensitive manner, we can avoid reducing individuals with Alzheimer's and related diseases to a series of labels, symptoms or medical terms. We can also use language as one way to reduce the stigma of the disease. Download your copy of this work in progress.
