Aphasia is a loss of words, not intelligence. Aphasia can occur as a result of a stroke, traumatic or non-traumatic brain injury. All these conditions or injuries may interfere with the particular part of the brain that is responsible for speech and language. Aphasia can be a short term or long term experience. A person with aphasia may know what they want to say, but struggle with finding the words to express themselves verbally.
