Guardian Speech Therapy specializes in treating cognitive and communication deficits for all ages within functional everyday tasks to promote independence at home and within the community. Therapy practices are grounded in the principle of neuroplasticity meaning our thoughts, emotions, and experiences result in changes to the connections in the brain! We analyze and treat the root cause of the deficit, not just the symptom or diagnosis.
