What is Aphasia?
Loss of ability to understand or express speech and/or language
due to brain damaged.
Who diagnoses and treats Aphasia?
Licensed Speech-Language Pathologists diagnose and treat Aphasia.
They diagnose by using both standardized/formal tests and informal
tests (for example, having a simple conversation with the client).
They treat Aphasia by using techniques that are defined as
Evidence-Based Practice; this means there is measurable
effectiveness on the treatment being implemented on the patient
through research.
