Wendy Williams has been formally diagnosed with PPA or Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA), the same diagnosis Bruce Willis shares. PPA is caused by degeneration in the parts of the brain that control speech and language. These celebrities are raising awareness for these conditions, which are often under or misdiagnosed for many years. As with many other medical conditions, early intervention with speech therapy can help those living with this condition, which most often begins by affecting a person's ability to communicate and find the words to do so.

Individualized, patient centered speech therapy in the comfort of your own home or online via tele-therapy.

The final 2024 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule cuts payment rates, but allows SLPs to bill for caregiver training without the patient present and audiologists to bill for programming auditory osseontegrated devices.
