Abstract

Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) is a cognitive impairment that involves a progressive loss of language function. Language is a human faculty that allows us to communicate with each other. Our language functions include speaking, understanding what others are saying, repeating things we have heard, naming common objects, reading and writing. “Aphasia” is a term used to refer to deficits in language functions. PPA is caused by degeneration in the parts of the brain that are responsible for speech and language. PPA progressively worsens to the point where verbal communication by any means is very difficult. In this review, we synthesized clinical aspects, and classification of PPA, focusing on specific aspects like therapeutic strategies, for individuals with Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) focus on enhancing communication, supporting participation in daily life, and addressing psychosocial needs.
