Dysphasia

Dysphasia is a condition caused by damage to the parts of the brain that are responsible for understanding and producing language. It also affects speaking and writing in the same way. This means you may have difficulty understanding words you hear or read, as well as in producing words (spoken or written).

It is important to note that dysphasia does not affect intellect although, unfortunately, this is a common misperception.
