What are some communication problems with aphasia?
The extent and exact location of the brain damage determine the nature and severity of the aphasias. There are different types of aphasia, including: • Receptive aphasia – difficulty understanding what is said and reduced reading comprehension. • Expressive aphasia – difficulty speaking including naming, expressing complete thoughts, incorrect sound and word order and writing words and numbers. Almost all persons with aphasia have both receptive and expressive problems, although they may be to different degrees.
