Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Expressive aphasia, also known as Broca's aphasia, is characterized by difficulty in producing language (speaking, writing, etc.). Therefore, using alternative methods of communication (such as gestures, drawing, or communication boards) is an appropriate goal for someone with expressive aphasia, as it allows them to communicate their needs and thoughts without relying solely on spoken or written language.
