Extractions: Aphasia Aphasia is a disorder that results from damage to language centers of the brain. For almost all right-handers and for about 1/2 of left-handers, damage to the left side of the brain causes aphasia. As a result, individuals who were previously able to communicate through speaking, listening, reading and writing become more limited in their ability to do so. The most common cause of aphasia is stroke , but gunshot wounds, blows to the head, other traumatic brain injury, brain tumor, and other sources of brain damage can also cause aphasia. Aphasia is only one consequence of stroke.

In still other cases, both expressive language and receptive language are obviously impaired. Language is affected not only in its oral form of talking and understanding but also in its written form of reading and writing . Typically, reading and writing are more impaired than oral communication. The nature of the problems varies from person to person depending on many factors but most importantly on the amount and location of the damage to the brain.

Programs can be individualized based upon the selection of any of the following options: Application and admission procedures are described on a separate page. Philosophy In all facets of our aphasia programs we emphasize living. We strive to provide adults with aphasia and their families the means by which they can move on with their lives, by directly addressing all of the ramifications of the communication problem.

Extractions: On Serendip "My most valuable tool is words, the words I can now use only with difficulty. My voice is debilitated - mute, a prisoner of a communication system damaged by a stroke that has robbed me of language," stated A. H. Raskins, one of approximately one million people in the United States who suffer from aphasia , a disorder which limits the comprehension and expression of language. It is an acquired impairment due to brain injury in the left cerebral hemisphere. The most common cause of aphasia is a stroke, but other causes are brain tumors, head injury, or other neuralgic illnesses. Of the estimated 400,000 strokes which occur a year, approximately 80,000 of those patients develop some form of aphasia . Another important observation is that within the United States, there are twice as many people with aphasia as there are individuals with Parkinson's disease . Yet, what is so astounding is the lack of public awareness about aphasia. Aphasia attacks an intricate part of a person's daily life - the simple act of communication and sharing. The disbursement of such a tool deprives an individual of education learned through their life, often leaving the ill fated feeling hopeless and alone. In considering the effects of aphasia, a deeper analysis of the two most common forms of aphasia will be examined: Broca's aphasia and Wernicke's aphasia. While both forms occur usually as a result of a stroke in the left hemisphere of the brain, their particular site of impairment produces different side effects in an individual's comprehension and speech. These regions have been further studied through experimental researches such as positron emission tomography (PET). Moreover, although there is currently no cure for the disorder, there are treatments and certain guidelines to follow when encountering an aphasic.

Extractions: Intensive Residential Aphasia Communication Therapy About the Program Location Program Dates Financial Information ... News (Currently Under Construction) ] Contact Us Home Aphasia is an impairment in the ability to communicate as a result of brain injury. Because communication is central to our interactions with others, aphasia has a broad impact. It affects social, vocational and emotional aspects of an individual's life as well as that of his/her partner. Speech and language therapy can help individuals with aphasia and their partners to improve communication effectiveness and to develop strategies for dealing with ongoing communication challenges. Since 1987, weekly outpatient aphasia group sessions have been held at the Dalhousie School of Human Communication Disorders in Halifax, Nova Scotia. In response to a need for additional services for aphasia, a new intensive residential speech and language program is now offered through the school. This service, which is unique in Canada, is based on two main principles: 1. Research in aphasia has indicated that improved communication skills can be best facilitated through intensive treatment

Extractions: Aphasia Return to NU Neurology Curriculum Please read our Aphasia: loss or impairment of language secondary to brain damage. Aphasia is somewhat fuzzily distinguished from dysarthria, which designates a motor speech disturbance (e.g. weakness of the tongue or lips, cerebellar disorder causing slurred speech). Linguistic defintions: Semantic meaning of words. Syntax structural relation between words. Grammar rules for combinations between words. Broca's aphasia. Also known as "expressive aphasia". Characterized by nonfluent, effortful speech with dysarthria. Comprehension usually good. No paraphasic erros. Typically caused by frontal lobe lesion. Typical task on examination that they fail is to repeat sentence "no ifs, ands or buts about it". These patients may only have (for example), a single word left in their vocabulary. Aphemia means mute but writes fluently. Wernicke's aphasia. Also known as receptive aphasia. A fluent effortless speech with frequent use of wrong or nonexistent words and improper word usage. Poor comprehension and repetition. Typically from dominant temporal lobe lesion. Patients may "jam", meaning understand several words than then understand no more. Conduction aphasia. Unable to repeat. Posterior temporal or inferior parietal lobe. About 10% of all aphasia. No pressure of speech.

Extractions: Home Health Information Voice, Speech, and Language On this page: Aphasia (uh-fay'-zhuh) is a communication disorder that can affect a person's ability to use and understand spoken or written words. It results from damage to the side of the brain dominant for language. For most people, this is the left side. Aphasia usually occurs suddenly and often results from a stroke or head injury, but it can also develop slowly because of a brain tumor, an infection, or dementia. Top There are many different classification systems for aphasia and many different types of aphasia within each system. Some systems are based primarily on the location of the lesion, while others are based solely on the person's behavior. One system adopted by the National Aphasia Association divides aphasia into two broad categories: fluent and non-fluent aphasia. People with fluent aphasia have problems understanding spoken and written language. This type is also known as sensory, posterior, or Wernicke's aphasia. People with non-fluent aphasia have difficulty communicating orally and in writing. This type of aphasia is also called motor, anterior, or Broca's aphasia. Within the non-fluent category is the most severe type, called global aphasia. People with this type have difficulty both expressing and understanding written and oral communication.
