Testimonials
Skilled speech therapy was very beneficial to me. It helped me to understand how cognitive impairment interferes with finding words and speaking more fluently so that I could be understood and suffer less
frustration. I was given speech exercises that train the brain. These speech exercises continue to be very helpful. Thank you Jessica!
