Non-Fluent Aphasia

Non-fluent aphasia is a language disorder often caused by brain injury, typically affecting speech production. People with this condition understand language relatively well but struggle to speak fluently or form complete sentences. Their speech tends to be slow, halting, and effortful, often limited to a few words or short phrases. This condition usually results from damage to areas of the brain involved in speech production, such as Broca’s area. Despite difficulties with speaking, comprehension of language is often better preserved, allowing understanding of conversations with some effort.
