What is "aphasia"?
Aphasia is a condition that affects a person's ability to communicate, including speaking, understanding language, reading, and writing. It is usually caused by damage to the brain, often resulting from a stroke, traumatic brain injury, or neurological disorder. Depending on the seriousness and location of the brain damage, aphasia can range from mild difficulty finding words or understanding speech to complete loss of language abilities. Treatment may involve speech therapy, communication strategies, and other therapies to help improve language skills and overall quality of life.
