Types of dysphasia

Authoring team

Dysphasia can be broadly divided into two types – expressive dysphasia (affecting the ability to speak, sign and write) and receptive dysphasia (affecting the ability to understand speech, sign language and writing). People with dysphasia will usually have a mixture of both types, although one may be more obvious or severe than the other.
