Rehabilitation Can Help Aphasia Victims - Learn More
Aphasia is the loss of the ability to speak, difficulty understanding the
speech of others, and/or difficulty expressing oneself verbally.
Aphasia
may be the result of a stroke or other brain injury.
The goal of speech
rehabilitation is to institute the most effective means of communication.
Speech therapy utilizes an approach that highlights ideas and thoughts-
rather than words- for individuals with mild impairment, such as gesturing,
nodding, pointing to an object or picture, and relying on facial expressions.
For individuals with severe impairments, a time consuming method is used
in order to regain language skills, such as repeating words and present
objects that can be seen and touched.
