Aphasia refers to the impairment in language abilities (comprehension, expression, reading, and writing) due to brain damage. Stuttering refers to the interruption of the flow of speech due to involuntary repetitions, prolongations, or blocks. Dysphonia refers to any abnormality in the phonation process that affects the quality, pitch, or loudness of the voice.
