Neurological damage or acquired brain damage is a brain injury that occurs after birth. It may be due to various causes and depending on where the damage is located, one or other processes will be affected. The most frequent sequelae in relation to speech therapy are: Aphasia, dysarthria, dysphonia, dysphagia, alexia and agraphia.
Apraxia of speech is an alteration of speech programming, with difficulty initiating speech, slow articulation and variable distortion of phonemes.
Aphasia is an expressive and/or comprehension language disorder that appears as a consequence of a brain lesion located in the language areas of the left hemisphere.
Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder secondary to CNS or PNS damage. It is an alteration of speech articulation due to lesions in the central nervous system as well as diseases of the nerves or muscles responsible for speech.
Dysphagia is the difficulty or impossibility of swallowing, which can have numerous consequences ranging from a total inability to swallow, coughing or even choking when food or liquids enter the trachea (a situation known as aspiration).
Alexia is a loss of the ability to read correctly due to a brain injury. Agraphia is the inability to write correctly, also caused by a brain injury. Typically, agraphia occurs in conjunction with other language disorders (especially aphasia and alexia).
