AFTD Name Change
2/18/2011 - The Association for Frontotemporal Dementia announced its official name change today. It will now be The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration. The change was made in light of all of the wonderful research that has been happening in the field of FTD. The organization feels the new name is a better fit, but in no way changes the mission (or anything else) of the Association. We will continue to make a donation to AFTD for each book sold! Thanks for your continued support!
