A Fotonovela on dementia, Recuerdos Olvidados [Forgotten Memories], was developed by University of Southern California Alzheimer Disease Research Center in collaboration with USC’s School of Pharmacy. Each booklet includes both Spanish and English text. An audio-visual version is also available in Spanish and in English. The focus of the story is describing early signs of dementia and encouraging families to seek assessment and diagnosis.
