How can communication be affected after a brain injury?
A brain injury can affect communication in several ways, depending on the area and severity of the damage. Common challenges include:
Aphasia – Difficulty with language, which can affect speaking, understanding, reading, and writing. People with aphasia may struggle to find the right words, form sentences, or comprehend complex information.
Dysarthria – Slurred or unclear speech caused by weakened or uncoordinated muscles used in speaking. This can make it hard for others to understand what the person is saying, even if their language skills are intact.
Cognitive Communication Disorders – Changes in thinking skills that affect communication, such as attention, memory, reasoning, or social communication. People may find it difficult to follow conversations, stay on topic, interpret body language, or make decisions during communication.
These communication difficulties can significantly impact everyday life, including social interactions, work, and relationships. Early assessment and personalised online speech therapy in the UK can help improve communication, rebuild confidence, and support recovery after brain injury.
