Aphasia is an acquired language disability caused by brain damage, usually stroke, that affects the person’s ability to communicate with others since it may compromise speaking, understanding, reading, and writing. Aphasia affects the biopsychosocial integrity of the individuals compromising their social relationships (SR), their participation in activities, their emotional status and their QOL. Usually people with aphasia have difficulties in returning to previous activities and roles, specially returning to work.
