Abstract

This handout explains aphasia, a language disorder that can affect a person's ability to speak, read, write, or understand words. Aphasia can occur because of a brain tumor, head injury, stroke, or neurodegenerative (nervous system) disorder.

This handout is in two parts: the first part is directed to the caregiver, and the second part is written for the patient.
