Explanation

The Aphasia Quotient is a score that doctors use to measure the severity of a person's aphasia, a condition that affects a person's ability to communicate. This score is calculated based on a person's performance in various language tasks such as speaking, understanding, reading, and writing. A lower score indicates a higher level of language impairment. This score helps doctors understand how much the aphasia is affecting a person's daily life and communication.
