  • "We owe her so much for all her help."

    "Ashley’s services are the rarest gem you can find! Our daughter was diagnosed with apraxia at 3 years old and could barely speak 20 words. Within a year’s time, she is speaking almost full, clear sentences. Our daughter’s progress was night and day after she met Ashley! We owe her so much for all her help."

  • "...it felt like an answered prayer."

    "We love Mrs. Ashley!! Both of my children worked with Mrs. Ashley on their articulation delay before beginning kindergarten. Every fear and concern I had about their development were put at ease once talking with Mrs. Ashley and watching my children work with her. She loved on my children like they were her own, and they got so excited when it was speech day! I recommend working with Mrs. Ashley. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, kind, caring, and loving— everything you want in a person that is working with your child."

Mrs. Ashley has had a tremendous impact on my child's life, and having her as a speech therapist has truly made a world of difference for our family."
