Start Your Journey.
Aphasia can be extremely isolating, robbing a person of the ability to communicate in an instant.
Family members are also impacted, taking on multiple, new roles while learning to communicate with them. The Adler Aphasia Center is a haven for those diagnosed with aphasia and their families, fostering meaningful connections among individuals on similar journeys.
Do you know what aphasia is?
More than 2 million Americans have aphasia, but if you haven’t heard of it, you’re not alone.
Aphasia is a language disorder typically caused by a stroke or brain injury that can affect one’s ability to speak, understand, read, or write. While someone with aphasia may have difficulty communicating, it does not affect their intellect.
You can compare having aphasia to being in a country where you don’t speak the language – you know what you want to say but you just can’t find the words.
Characteristics Of Aphasia
- Difficulty recalling words. This is like having the “tip of the tongue” feeling all day.
- You may say one word but mean something else.
- Some words may be easy to say, while others may be difficult. In general, the more you have to think about what you’re saying, the harder it will be.
- You may mix up similar words. For example, saying yes for no, or man for woman, and mixing up the names of family members.
