June is Aphasia Awareness Month, dedicated to raising awareness about aphasia—a communication disorder caused mainly by stroke or brain injury that affects speaking, writing, and understanding language, but not intelligence. Aphasia can range from mild difficulty finding words to severe impairment in forming sentences or understanding speech. Early diagnosis and speech therapy are crucial for recovery and improving communication skills. Recognizing symptoms like trouble speaking or understanding language can save lives by prompting urgent medical care. Support and understanding make a difference for those living with aphasia.
