Our Association was formed to support people with aphasia ( ay – faze- yuh ).

Aphasia is a loss of language skills usually caused by stroke or other brain injury.

Aphasia can affect
– speaking
– understanding the speech of others
– reading
– writing
– understanding numbers and money.

About 1,500 South Australians develop aphasia each year. Many people, including service providers, have never heard of aphasia. The Talkback Committee aims to raise awareness and increase the services provided to people with aphasia.
