For many people with aphasia, it can be challenging to start driving again.
- Some people with aphasia have physical changes, like arm weakness, because of a stroke or brain injury.

- Some people with stroke or brain injury have trouble concentrating for long periods.
- Aphasia can make it difficult to do a driving test.
All of these things can affect driving. This can be very frustrating.
