    Extractions: The use of speech to communicate is unique to humans. When speech is impaired or absent, the impact on the person and his family is profound. One of the most heartbreaking and devastating disabilities is aphasia . Most people have not heard about aphasia, nor do they know the term until someone in their family or a friend acquires aphasia What is aphasia? Aphasia is an impairment of language, affecting the production or comprehension of speech and the ability to read or write. Aphasia is always due to injury to the brain-most commonly from a stroke, particularly in older individuals. But brain injuries resulting in aphasia may also arise from head trauma, from brain tumors, or from infections. Aphasia can be so severe as to make communication with the patient almost impossible, or it can be very mild. It may affect mainly a single aspect of language use, such as the ability to retrieve the names of objects, or the ability to put words together into sentences, or the ability to read. More commonly, however, multiple aspects of communication are impaired, while some channels remain accessible for a limited exchange of information. It is the job of the professional to determine the amount of function available in each of the channels for the comprehension of language, and to assess the possibility that treatment might enhance the use of the channels that are available.

17. APHASIA
    Overview of aphasia subtypes, authored by Sherry T. Gliesche, MS, SLP, and presented by the International Category Health Conditions and Diseases aphasiaARCHIVED FILE. aphasia. By Sherry T. Gliesche, MS, SLP. Wernicke'saphasia (also called Sensory, Receptive, or Posterior aphasia)  
    http://www.imssf.org/aphasia.shtml
    
    Extractions: ARCHIVED FILE APHASIA By Sherry T. Gliesche, MS, SLP Wernicke's Aphasia (also called Sensory, Receptive, or Posterior Aphasia): Lesions causing Wernicke's aphasia usually occur in the auditory association area of the left temporal lobe or in the fiber tracts connecting it with other areas of the brain. This region is known (not surprisingly) as Wernicke's area. Symptoms: Fluent speech, except for pauses that may occur as the patient experiences word-finding difficulty. Rate, intonation, inflection, and stress are normal, but speech sounds "empty" and is lacking in content and meaning. Substitutions of one word for another, such as "table" for "chair", are common in the speech of those with Wernicke's aphasia. Auditory comprehension (e.g., understanding what is said to them) is usually quite poor. Broca's Aphasia (also called Motor, Expressive, or Anterior Aphasia): Broca's aphasia is usually seen following damage to the posterior inferior frontal lobe, obviously called Broca's area. Hemiplegia (paralysis of one side of the body) or hemipareis (weakness of one side of the body) usually accompanies Broca's aphasia. For right-handers the paralysis or paresis is almost always on the right, because lesions causing aphasia are almost always left-hemisphere lesions, and motor control is contralateral. Symptoms: Speech is nonfluent, labored, and halting. Intonation and stress patterns are deficient, and misarticulations are prominent. Broca's speech is often telegraphic and agrammatical. (Not meaning to be rude here, but it sounds a lot like the way Tarzan talksno function words like conjunctions, articles, or prepositions.) BUT, their auditory comprehension is usually much better than their speech! (So never assume that just because a person can't express himself and is paralyzed that he can't understand you!!!!)

18. Understanding Primary Progressive Aphasia
    An article with a description, assistance available and where to obtain additional information.  
    http://www.aphasia.org/NAAppa.html
    
    Extractions: Updated: January 17, 2001 PRIMARY PROGRESSIVE APHASIA is a rare neurological syndrome in which language capabilities become slowly and progressively impaired. This information sheet was prepared by the National Aphasia Association to help explain the condition of Primary Progressive Aphasia to the general public. Aphasia is an acquired disorder caused by brain damage which affects a person's ability to communicate. The principal signs of aphasia are impairments in the ability to express oneself when speaking, trouble understanding speech, and difficulty with reading and writing. Aphasia is most often the result of stroke or head injury, but can also occur in other neurological disorders, such as brain tumor or Alzheimer's disease. The effects of aphasia differ from person to person, and can sometimes benefit from speech therapy. Strategies to communicate non-verbally (without words) may also be helpful to the person with aphasia. What is primary progressive aphasia?

    Extractions: A stroke happens when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel or artery, or when a blood vessel breaks, interrupting blood flow to an area of the brain. The stroke kills brain cells in the immediate area. These cells usually die within minutes to a few hours after the stroke starts. When brain cells die , the abilities they controlled are lost or impaired. This includes functions such as speech, movement, and memory. The specific abilities lost or affected depend on where in the brain the stroke occurs and on the size of the stroke (i.e., the extent of brain cell death). Do your own at-home speech therapy
