Aphasia

Aphasia is a language disorder that can impact expressive/receptive language, reading, and writing. It most commonly occurs after a stroke or brain injury, but can also result from neurological conditions. Individuals with aphasia may experience difficulty expressing themselves, finding the right words, or following conversations, which can affect daily life and independence.
