Aphasia is when a person has difficulty with their understanding and use of language. It's usually caused by damage to the brain (for example, after a stroke).
For people with aphasia, speech and language therapy aims to:
- Help restore as much of your speech and language as possible (reduce impairment)
- Help you communicate to the best of your ability (increase activity and participation)
- Find alternative ways of communicating (use compensatory strategies or aids)
- Provide information to patients and their relatives about aphasia
