Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a transitional diagnostic category between normal cognitive aging and dementia. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have a role in the management of MCI, particularly the assessment and treatment of cognitive-communicative impairments related to MCI. The difficulty lies in distinguishing between normal cognitive aging and pathological aging. SLPs will need to be equipped with knowledge regarding the neurobiological, cognitive, and cognitive-communicative changes occurring in both normal and pathological aging, specifically the alterations arising in MCI.
