Aphasia is a language disorder that affects a person’s ability to understand or produce spoken or written language, often due to stroke or brain injury.
Types include:
- Broca’s aphasia (Non-Fluent): Speech is slow and effortful, with limited grammar. Understanding is relatively preserved.
- Wernicke’s aphasia (Fluent): Speech is fluent but may be nonsensical; comprehension is impaired.
- Global aphasia: Severe difficulty with both expression and understanding.
- Anomic aphasia: Difficulty finding words, while comprehension and grammar are intact.
Concerns:
Difficulty forming sentences, finding words, or understanding speech.
Trouble reading, writing, or following instructions.
