Review of the seven types of aphasia. Aphasia is a neurological disorder caused by damage to the areas of the brain that control language.

There are seven types of aphasia, categorized into two classes: nonfluent (e.g., Broca's, transcortical motor, and global aphasias) and fluent (e.g., Wernicke's, conduction, anomic and transcortical sensory aphasia).

Talking to someone with aphasia is a great way to acknowledge their disability and understand their struggles.
