Neurogenic communication disorders

Neurogenic communication disorders are speech and language problems caused by damage to the brain or nervous system. Conditions such as strokes, traumatic brain injuries, or neurological diseases like Parkinson's or ALS can lead to these disorders. They may affect a person's ability to produce speech, understand language, or use language effectively. Symptoms can include slurred speech, difficulty finding words, or challenges in following conversations. Treatment often involves speech therapy to help individuals regain or improve their communication skills, tailored to their specific needs and abilities.
