June is Aphasia Awareness month!
Aphasia is an impairment of language, affecting the production or comprehension of speech and the ability to read or write. Aphasia is most commonly caused from a stroke. But brain injuries resulting in aphasia may also arise from head trauma, from brain tumors, or from infections.
A speech therapist can determine the amount of function available in each of the channels for the comprehension of language, and to assess the possibility that treatment might enhance the use of the channels that are available.
