Are you having difficulty speaking, listening, writing or reading after a stroke or brain injury? You might have aphasia.
 

Aphasia is due to an injury to the brain - most often from a stroke, head trauma, a brain tumor or infections. 

Aphasia can affect every person differently. It can cause mild to severe communication difficulties, and it can affect speaking, listening, writing and reading

A person with aphasia may:

  • Speak in short or incomplete sentences

  • Speak in sentences that don't make sense

  • Substitute one word for another or one sound for another

  • Speak unrecognizable words

  • Have difficulty finding words

  • Not understand other people's conversation

  • Not understand what they read

  • Write sentences that don't make sense
