About Aphasia
Aphasia is a language disorder that affects a person’s ability to communicate—but not their intelligence. It can occur suddenly, often after stroke or brain injury, or develop gradually, as in the case of Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA).
While every journey with aphasia is unique, early support and ongoing connection can make a powerful difference. This site is your starting point for trusted information, practical tools, and a vibrant community of support.
Explore the many ways people with aphasia—and those who care about them—navigate communication, expression, and life.
