Hi! I’m Molly, the speech therapist at Apogee. If you or someone you know has had speech therapy in the past for a stroke or brain injury but you feel like you’re having increased difficulty with your speech, swallowing, or cognition, I’d be happy to evaluate you to see how I can help you.
Also, May is National Speech-Language-Hearing month, so be extra nice to all of the speech therapists in your life!
