Commonly asked questions

Aphasia is primarily caused by damage to one or more areas of the brain that deal with language, most commonly from a stroke, head injury, brain tumor, or an infection.

While there is no cure for aphasia, speech and language therapy can help many people significantly improve their language and communication skills.

Family members can support a person with aphasia by using clear, simple language, encouraging all forms of communication (speech, gestures, writing), and maintaining patience and positivity to boost confidence.
