In the beginning of the illness, the voice production is arduous and the speech is with variable prosody. The patient expresses himself exceptionally with nouns and working verbs, also using mimics and gestures. The main purpose of the research is the evaluation of the communicational language skills of persons with Broca’s aphasia, even in the acuteness of the illness. The goal is also to examine and establish the opinion of persons with Broca’s aphasia, their family members and medical staff regarding the use of early rehabilitation treatment with speech therapy. The basic tasks of this research are to determine whether the disturbance of verbal interaction is often followed with speech apraxia and agrammatism among the persons suffering from Broca’s aphasia.
