Aphasia
Aphasia is a condition that can affect all language areas including speaking, understanding, reading, and writing in varying degrees.

The following suggestions may be helpful in communicating with a person who suffers from aphasia:
  • Ask questions that call for a yes or no answer
  • Speak in short phrases
  • Talk about familiar topics or people
  • Assume the person understands and avoid talking about him in his presence
  • Give the person time to think of words
