Alex has been my help with all of my Aphasia since I came back to Philadelphia. She has been tremendous, working me driving harder than I worked in years. She is awesome. I will take a few months to go to Florida and work to get back in March when she is retaking additional therapy.

This team helped me with my teams in Cape Cod in Massachusetts after my stroke. Not sure how I would have made it. They were awesome.
