Aphasia Foundation of the Philippines, Inc. (AFPI) - Quezon City

The use of speech to communicate is unique to humans. When speech is impaired or absent, the impact on the person and his family is profound. One of the most heartbreaking and devastating disabilities is aphasia (uh'fay-zha) - an acquired communication impairment that affects the person's ability to speak, understand, read or write brought about by stroke and other forms of brain injury, trauma and infections.
