Speech

This speech disorder makes it hard to speak with a normal flow. A person who stutters may repeat sounds or words. They may get stuck or hold a sound. And, they may have moments where they can't form sounds at all. Stuttering can cause problems with school, work and forming relationships.

Aphasia is a loss of language skills. People with aphasia may not be able to express their thoughts (expressive aphasia) or understand others (receptive aphasia).

Aphasia happens when a part of the brain that processes language is damaged. A speech-language therapist (an expert trained in speech and language rehabilitation) will work closely with the person and their family to help the person communicate.
