What is Aphasia?

“It’s a language disorder that affects your ability to communicate. It’s most often caused by strokes in the left side of the brain that control speech and language.

People with aphasia may struggle with communicating in daily activities at home, socially or at work. They may also feel isolated.

Aphasia doesn’t affect intelligence. Stroke survivors remain mentally alert, even though their speech may be jumbled, fragmented or hard to understand.”
