The word dysphasia derives from Greek roots, composed of the prefix "dis" which means "bad" or "difficulty", in addition to the Greek voice "φάσις" or "phasis" which means "word" and the suffix "ia" which refers to "quality". Dysphasia in the medical environment is defined as an irregularity or animalia that an individual presents in language due to a certain brain injury; In other words, it is a speech or language disorder whose peculiarity is to make it difficult to speak or understand spoken speech, caused by supposed brain injuries. This condition is also known as Specific Language Disorder (SLI) or Specific Language Development Disorder (TEDL).
Those who suffer from this disorder may not have the ability to speak using coherent sentences, since they have difficulty finding the appropriate words to express what they want or need to say, that is, they can use words that do not make sense at a given moment or they also have a hard time understanding what other people are trying to say.
Dysphasia can be very frustrating for the individual who suffers from it, since their willingness to communicate can become very limited due to the same difficulties; It can also affect the environment of the individual such as family, friends, caregivers etc. Because patients with this disorder have trouble following instructions and understanding them.
Many times the word aphasia is used to refer to speech disorders and in other circumstances the term dysphasia is used to express mild forms of aphasia, using the word only for more serious cases. Aphasia is generally detected in childhood, differentiating itself from simple delays in language development, in which they progress more quickly.
