It's Aphasia Awareness Month

June is National Aphasia Awareness Month when we draw attention to aphasia—a neurological disorder caused by damage to portions of the brain that are responsible for language. Up to 40 percent of stroke survivors develop aphasia. 

People with aphasia have difficulties with speaking, understanding others, reading and writing. Technology, including software and apps, help stroke survivors overcome aphasia.

A full recovery from aphasia is possible. Speech therapy is the most common treatment for aphasia along with a variety of specific speech therapy exercises and techniques. 93% of stroke survivors with Aphasia experience high psychological distress.
