At First Settlement Physical Therapy (FSPT), our speech therapists are dedicated to helping individuals with aphasia regain their communication skills and confidence through personalized therapy programs.

What Is Aphasia?

Aphasia is a communication disorder that affects a person’s ability to use or understand language. It often occurs after damage to the brain. Stroke is the most common cause, but it can also result from traumatic brain injuries, tumors, or other neurological conditions.

Aphasia occurs when the language centers of the brain are damaged. The severity and type of aphasia vary, but common challenges include:

Difficulty Finding Words
Difficulty Forming Sentences
Repetition of Phrases
Difficulty Understanding Spoken or Written Language
Impaired Reading or Writing
Limited Vocabulary
Difficulty Following Instructions

With the right therapy, many people with aphasia make significant progress.
