What is Aphasia? 
APHASIA (Uh-Fay-Zhuh) is a result of a STROKE or BRAIN INJURY, and affects a person's ability to 
communicate. It is important to remember that you are still a competent adult, you know what you 
want to say, you can make your own decisions and you are not deaf. 
Aphasia usually comes on suddenly from a stroke or brain injury. But in rare cases it may develop 
gradually. This is called Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA). 
If you have aphasia, you may find it hard to: 
TALK 
LISTEN/UNDERSTAND OTHERS WHEN THEY SPEAK
READ
WRITE 
USE NUMBERS AND DO CALCULATIONS
