Abstract
Aphasia is an acquired language disorder affecting an individual's ability to understand the spoken word and to speak, read and write after stroke. In this article, an overview of the management of aphasia will be considered. The incidence, clinical symptoms and available treatment approaches will be outlined alongside an overview of the efficacy and current national provision of speech and language therapy services, including the results from the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists' stroke survivors survey. Practical strategies to facilitate communication with a person with aphasia and the specific role of the speech and language therapist when working with this population group will also be discussed.
