Types of Aphasia:
There are many different classification systems for aphasia and many
different types of aphasia within each system. Some systems are based
primarily on the location of the lesion, while others are based solely
on the person's behavior.
One system adopted by the National Aphasia
Association divides aphasia into two broad categories: fluent and
non-fluent aphasia.
People with fluent aphasia have problems understanding spoken and
written language. This type is also known as sensory, posterior, or Wernicke's
aphasia. People with non-fluent aphasia have difficulty communicating orally
and in writing. This type of aphasia is also called motor, anterior,
or Broca's aphasia. Within the non-fluent category is the most severe
type, called global aphasia. People with this type have difficulty
both expressing and understanding written and oral communication.
