Thursday, February 22, 2024

ROCKVILLE, Md., Feb. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- With primary progressive aphasia (PPA) once again in the spotlight following news of Wendy Williams' recent diagnosis, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) is sharing information about the signs of PPA, how it differs from other conditions, and how speech-language pathologists (SLPs) can help families improve communication with—and overall quality of life for—loved ones who are diagnosed.

Key Points: 
  • It is caused by changes in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, which are largely responsible for language and executive functioning.
  • These areas also act as the body's center for making decisions and navigating daily life and activities.
  • PPA is not the same as the following diseases or conditions:
    Aphasia caused by stroke or other brain injuries.
  • PPA is progressive, so the communication challenges may start slowly—not suddenly—and will get worse over time.
