| June is national Aphasia Awareness Month. Aphasia is a communication impairment caused by brain damage, typically resulting from a stroke. It can also occur in other neurological disorders, such as in the case of a brain tumor. The effects of aphasia may include a loss or reduction in ability to speak, comprehend, read, and write, while intelligence remains intact. In the U.S., about 4,8 million stroke survivors are alive today, with about 700,000 strokes occurring per year - approximately one-third of these resulting in aphasia. Discuss recovery and therapy options with your physician. The National Aphasia Association (link) has more information. | ![]() |
