Aphasia
An impairment of language, affecting the production or comprehension of speech and the ability to read or write. Aphasia is always due to injury to the brain-most commonly from a stroke.

Apraxia
Apraxia is a significant difficulty in motor planning. In a speech apraxia, this means that there is not necessarily any difficulty with muscle strength or any structural abnormalities. There may not be any phonological processing errors. However, there are errors in coordination. This often results in inconsistent errors in speech sound production and highly unintelligible speech.
