Dysphasia

Dysphasia, sometimes called aphasia, is a language disorder that impacts a person’s ability to understand and produce spoken language. It can also affect reading, writing, and gesturing. Caused by damage to the language centers of the brain, often due to a stroke, head injury, or brain tumor, dysphasia can vary in severity and presentation.

Individuals with dysphasia may struggle to find the right words, speak in short or incomplete sentences, or have difficulty understanding others. It’s important to remember that dysphasia doesn’t affect intelligence, but rather the ability to communicate effectively.

While there’s no cure for dysphasia, speech and language therapy can significantly improve communication skills. Early intervention and personalized therapy plans can help individuals regain their language abilities and improve their quality of life.
