What is APHASIA?

  • Aphasia is a language disorder usually resulting from a stroke or brain injury. 
  • Primary progressive aphasia does not come from a stroke or brain injury. It comes from shrinking in the brain.
  • ​People with aphasia lose access to the language system they once had intact. ​
  • Aphasia can be frustrating. Some people say they have lost their identity. 
  • It isn't a loss of intellect.
Aphasia looks different for everyone.
​
Here are some examples.
