Hi guys! My name is Ashley. I’ve been a speech language pathologist for 12 years. I currently work for a private agency contracting with our county and school districts to provide early intervention (birth – 3 years old) and preschool (3-5 years old) speech therapy. Previously I worked at a wonderful school in my area for children with multiple complex disabilities ages 3-21.
I have 3 girls of my own (6 year-old and 1-year-old twins). I am truly in the thick of all things child development. I have used my professional knowledge and expertise when making decisions for my own children & also made decisions based on being realistic and doing what works for me in the moment. The two are not mutually exclusive. With so much information out there – I want to help moms by giving information on all things speech & language, first foods, and first cups. My advice is research based and almost always something I have had success with my own children.
It was Emily who encouraged me to start this page and help other moms. I found Emily through the @momsoncall website when I was searching for a consultant to answer my questions when my twins were 2 months old. For 6 months Emily’s services helped me make little and big decisions about what was best for my babies, and built my confidence along the way. It took a pandemic for me to realize that I have information to share that can help moms too! I realize it’s not so easy to pop in your pediatrician office, and the process for having your child evaluated is trickier and taking longer during these uncertain times. I look forward to answering questions and helping your family decide if a formal speech and language evaluation is needed.
