Return to Work for People With Aphasia
Right now, about 2.5 million people in the United States are living with aphasia after stroke.1 Aphasia can make it difficult to talk, listen, read, and/or write. Stroke is the most common cause of aphasia, but it can also happen after a traumatic brain injury (eg, blow to the head), a brain tumor, brain infection, or a neurodegenerative disease (eg, Alzheimer's dementia).2 Many people with aphasia are of working age, and this number is going up as more young people in the United States are sustaining stroke.

Supportive Communication for Individuals with Aphasia
Aphasia is a language disorder that affects speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Aphasia is most commonly caused by a stroke or injury to the left side of the brain. Brain tumors and other neurologic diseases can also cause aphasia. Because of language impairments, individuals with aphasia struggle to participate in daily life activities involving communication in health care settings, at home, or in their community.1 People with aphasia and their communication partners can use supportive strategies to help them communicate in daily life.
