Acquired neurogenic communication disorders are caused by damage to the central or peripheral nervous system. People with these disorders at one time had normal communication abilities.
The difficulties may come suddenly after an acute event or appear gradually as part of a progressive disorder. Some of the causes include stroke, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, tumour, and traumatic brain injury.
Speech and communication abilities are sensitive indicators of neurological problems and one of first places where neurologic problems are noticeable.
Common Neurogenic communication disorders are:
Aphasia - Aphasia results from damage to the parts of the brain that process language. Aphasia causes problems with any or allof the following: speaking, understanding, reading, and writing.
Dysarthria – Dysarthria is caused by damage to nerves or to parts of the brain that control speech movements. Movements of the mouth, face, throat, and chest may be weak, slow, or uncoordinated and lead to speech that is difficult to understand.
Neurogenic Stuttering – Neurogenic stuttering is a disorder of neurologic origin in the rhythm of speech during which the patient knows exactly what he wants to say but is unable to because of an involuntary prolongation, cessation, or repetition of a sound.
