I looked at the WHO taxonomies for the aging and dementia user group, and it looks like there will be a lot of work to harmonize them, and like some of the data is outdated. Also, I think we need to better address the problem of aggression and inappropriate behavior by people with dementia with communication technologies. In some types of dementia, such as behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (BvFTD) the first symptom is a change in the personality, including disinhibition and lack of empathy. As a result, they may use accessible communication technologies in a harmful way, possibly to an extent of being illegal. ideas anyone? Ayelet
