Abstract: In this work I present a patient with previously diagnosed Alzheimer’s disease. He comes to consultation to present memory and communication difficulties. Alzheimer’s disease is considered “a neurodegenerative process of the central nervous system characterized by progressive neuronal death in certain areas of the brain, specifically the cerebral cortex and the hippocampus are two of the areas most affected by this disease.(Martínez, A. 2009). The results found in the patient’s neuropsychological assessment protocol, show alterations in both immediate and delayed memory, with poor performance in executive functions and with degrees of language problems. The rest of the areas are quite preserved. All these data, together with the extracts from the family interview and from their overall clinical assessment of the aforementioned disease, support the diagnosis of Alzheimer disease. The patient needs support in some of the basic activities of daily life and his mood is satisfactory. The general objective of the intervention has been to preserve the patient's cognitive functioning of the least affected cognitive functions, in order to try to grant him greater autonomy. The specific objectives have been focused on improving the patient's communication skills, so that they can improve their relationships with their environment. The intervention proposed in this work has focused on an individualized multidisciplinary proposal of neurocognitive training, supported by activities through cognitive rehabilitation software and work in paper format, complemented by regular physical activity and improvement of social interactions.
