What term denotes language impairment affecting reading ability?

• A. Aphasia
• B. Reading Assessment
• C. Visual Appliance
• D. Literacy Concern

Answer: (A)

Language impairment affecting reading ability is best described by aphasia. This condition results from brain injury and disrupts language processing, so it can impact speaking, understanding, reading, and writing. Reading difficulties can be a manifestation of aphasia because the impairment involves linguistic processing, not just the ability to decode words. The other terms don’t describe a neurologic language disorder: a reading assessment is a test, a visual appliance refers to devices like glasses, and a literacy concern is a general issue with reading that isn’t tied to a specific language disorder.
