What is "Broca's aphasia"?

Broca's aphasia is a language disorder that results from damage to Broca's area in the frontal lobe of the brain. Individuals with Broca's aphasia typically have difficulty with speech production, leading to slow, effortful speech and challenges in forming grammatically correct sentences. While they often understand spoken and written language well, their expressive abilities are significantly impaired. People with this condition may omit small words like "is" or "the," resulting in telegraphic speech. Broca's aphasia can impact communication and social interactions, making speech therapy important for improving language skills and expression.
