Language Disorders Resulting from Brain Injuries
Brain injuries are some of the most devastating that one can suffer because they can have adverse effects on cognitive functioning, memory, and much more. Many brain injuries result in language disorders that cause the victim to be unable to either comprehend or convey spoken or written language. These language disorders can be immensely disruptive to a person’s life. Beyond the frustration and trauma associated with the injury, a victim’s personal and professional lives may suffer tremendously.

Common Types of Language Disorders
Language disorders can have a variety of devastating effects on a person’s ability to read, write, speak, or comprehend language. Broca’s area of the brain controls our capacity for speech, so trauma to this site of the brain may leave a person unable to express him or herself. Wernicke’s area controls our capacity to interpret language, meaning damage to this site of the brain may leave a person unable to comprehend another person’s speech.
Some common language disorders than can result from brain injuries include:
- Aphasia – loss of various language skills
- Dyslexia – difficulties with reading and spelling
- Dysarthria – loss loss of physical control of speech organs
- Dysgraphia – difficulties with writing
- Dysnomia – difficulties with retrieving words or names from memory
Treatment for language disorders is possible, but can be very expensive and time-consuming. You should not have to bear these costs.
