Broca's Aphasia is a type of language disorder that affects a person's ability to speak and form sentences. It occurs when there is damage to the Broca's area, a region in the left frontal lobe of the brain responsible for speech production. Individuals with this condition often understand language well but struggle to express themselves verbally, leading to short, incomplete sentences.
People with Broca's Aphasia may find it difficult to find the right words, resulting in speech that is slow and effortful. While their comprehension remains relatively intact, they may omit small words like "is" or "the," making their speech sound telegraphic. This condition can significantly impact communication but does not affect intelligence.
