What is aphasia?

Aphasia is a communication disorder that affects a person’s ability to use or understand language, including spoken, written, and signed language. It can occur due to damage to the language areas of the brain caused by a stroke, traumatic brain injury, or other neurological conditions. Aphasia can range from mild difficulty in finding words to complete loss of language ability. Treatment may include speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, and support from family and friends.
