Testimonials

"After having spent a couple of years with my son in speech therapy with 2 different providers, we finally found the perfect match for our son with Ashley! Ashley's love for her profession, her undeniable knowledge mixed with her high energy and creativity gave my son exactly what he needed to improve his speech. It was amazing how quickly he progressed. My son no longer dreads going to speech therapy thanks to Ashley!" - J.M.

"We were very fortunate to have Ashley enter our lives shortly after we learned about our infant daughter's profound hearing loss. Ashley worked closely with our daughter and the rest of our family, using her sign language and speech therapy skills to introduce language into our daughter's life. We'll be forever grateful for the ways she helped us learn how to communicate with our child and to enable her to communicate with us. Her obvious knowledge, her absolute comfort with kids, and her warm personality made Ashley the ideal speech therapist for our family during the most critical time of our daughter's language development." - B.A. and L.A.

"Our son was so fortunate to have been able to work with a therapist who was able to combine fun activities with important speech goals. We appreciated Ashley's structured approach to speech and auditory training and the feedback she was able to give us from the sessions. She not only gave our son a strong foundation, but also helped us understand his speech and auditory development as it related to his hearing loss. He loved playing with her in his sessions and looked forward to them every week. As parents of a child for whom speech and auditory training is so important, we could not ask for more than that! This statement does not fully convey our adoration for the work she did, but I'm not sure anything could." - S.B and D.B.

"Ashley provided speech therapy to my son. She really engaged my son in a way that made learning fun. She knew how to set boundaries that were age appropriate in order to maximize his focus. That was her magic. Ashley could somehow inspire the best side of children's potential. Her knowledge and speech and language methodology was superior. I put complete trust and faith in Ashley as a direct result of her effectiveness. My son thrived under her care, and I attribute much of his early intervention success to Ashley's guidance. My son has moderate to severe bilateral loss, and is now meeting grade level benchmarks in preschool. But, to put that aside, Ashley is someone who is just an honest, kind, bright woman who is vibrant and a pleasure to have had in our lives." - H.K.

"Ashley has worked with both our children as toddlers during their early stages of speech and language development. She was great! She was always patient and kind, even when our kids were having a rough day. She took time to know and remember what our kids liked, and used that in her sessions. Her playfulness allowed her to think on the fly, so as to creativity incorporate her plan into whatever our child was interested in. Ashley also provided us with helpful aids to used at home, and was a great benefit to our family." - B.M.

"Ashley provided speech and language therapy for our daughter, between age 1 and 3 years old. Ashley’s friendly interaction with our daughter, and her targeted therapy that included fun games for a young child, helped our daughter grow in the areas she needed the most at such a critical time in her speech and social development. Our daughter loved working with Ashley. Our daughter is doing great, her speech and language are above average. We feel very fortunate to have had Ashley in our daughter’s life at such an important time. Thank you Ashley for your professionalism, your caring, and your kindness." - U.M.

"Our family was lucky enough to work with Ashley for over a year. When we first met Ashley, our son was almost 18 mos old with significant receptive and expressive language delays in addition to motor challenges and considerable sensory needs. Ashley established a rapport and relationship with him immediately. Ashley really understood our son- she played to his strengths and made therapy fun! She has an extremely creative approach and is always thinking 'outside the box'. When Ashley first started working with him he was not even consistently responding to his name. She developed a thematic program for him using songs and movement, because that is what he loves and how he learns best. I truly believe her approach opened the doors to his receptive language! Ashley worked closely with our family on many other foundational skills for him, such as isolating his pointer finger, gestures and signs, and picture communication. We also worked with her to resolve some feeding difficulties. As a parent, I felt like she gave me the tools I needed to reinforce the work she was doing in his therapy sessions and that she truly understood my concerns. We were working with Ashley when we received his diagnosis of Angelman Syndrome. I can not tell you how vital Ashley’s support was to our family during that difficult time. I wholeheartedly recommend Ashley to any parent without reservation. She is a fabulous therapist!" - J.O.

Our child's speech was difficult for us and everyone else to understand. We started meeting several times weekly with Ashley. She got to know our child and us well. She tailored the therapy sessions to the speech deficiencies and our child's interests and their particular learning style. They had fun together while learning. Ashley was different from speech therapists that we met with in the sense that she did not only focus on single sounds and words but integrated the complexity of multiple words in sentences as our child progressed. Our child rapidly showed improvement because they were engaged in learning. Ashley even made arrangements to meet our child at their preschool and come to our house regularly for visits. Our child's teachers were thrilled with the progress as well. We would highly recommend Ashley as a speech therapist. - R.D. and C.D.
