Aphasia is a language impairment that affects a person's ability to speak, understand, read and/or write language. Stroke is the most common cause of aphasia, but it may also be caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI) or other brain damage. In honor of Aphasia Awareness Month, I am posting links to a number of resources available to people with aphasia and their loved ones:
