Talking Sense is the culmination of more than a decade of research by Agnes Houston after she was diagnosed with younger onset dementia in 2006. It was also written as a response to the lack of practical advice she was offered by a number of health care professionals after her diagnosis. Agnes found that not only was there little support for continued independence, but what support there was had virtually no awareness of the common experience of sensory change.
 

Agnes Houston MBE is a dementia activist who has always put others first. She was diagnosed with younger onset Alzheimer’s disease in 2006 at the age of 57. She has campaigned for best practice and improving the lives of people with dementia (especially those experiencing sensory issues) in Scotland and received a lifetime achievement award from Alzheimer Scotland in 2013.
