National Aphasia Awareness Month is a national campaign to increase public education and to recognize the numerous people who care for people with aphasia.
Did you know that two million people in the United States have aphasia, but a stunning 84.5% of Americans state that they’ve never even heard the term ‘aphasia’?
Aphasia is a language disorder that can cause speech and language problems which may sometimes be treated through hard work and speech therapy.
The type of speech and language problems caused by aphasia depends on the diagnosis. There are three common types of aphasia: Broca’s, Wernicke’s, and Global.
One key area of coping with aphasia is finding and participating in any of the 600 aphasia support groups in the United States, which feature people ready to help and support those with aphasia. Research shows such support groups are known to help by offering tips, guidance, and emotional support.
