Services

  • Many of my clients who are nonverbal also have accompanying behavioral struggles. For those clients, I offer behavioral support as well. Behavioral support from me looks like me giving my client the communication they need to express how they're feeling as well as working with them to overcome their big feelings and emotions.

  • For clients that are looking for support in the community, I also offer community outings. This is where I accompany my client and their family to places where they typically have a challenging time and I help provide communication and behavioral support. Places I have gone in the past are Target, Costco, Disneyland, Legoland, movie theaters, swimming pools, libraries and other popular community destinations.

  • Do you think your child needs speech therapy, but are not exactly sure where to start? Maybe you have concerns that your child is not speaking as much as they should, but are not sure if they are just a little bit behind? Consultations with me are the perfect way to figure out what next steps are for your child. Early intervention is key and the sooner the client is able to receive services, the better outcomes they have!

  • I am available for consultations with my client's school therapy team. Many parents express frustration that the school and the private SLP are not on the same page and sometimes even seem to be working against each other. By working alongside the school therapy team, my clients are able to get a cohesive speech therapy program from me that seamlessly aligns with their school goals as well.

  • I provide a wide variety of assessments to help figure out exactly what your child's strengths are, what are areas of growth and how we can best use these abilities to grow.

  • My therapy model is centered around in-home therapy, as I believe my clients learn best in the comfort of their own home. For clients that are within 15 miles of Yorba Linda, driving fees are included. For clients outside of the 15 mile radius, please message me, and we can discuss possible rates and fees.

  • I come alongside the parents of my clients and help them learn how to support their child, whether it be learning how to communicate using the AAC device or how to work through meltdowns using the behavioral cycle.

  • I provide play-based Speech Therapy that is tailored to the needs of each of my clients. I understand that children need to move and play and I find Speech Therapy occurs best when children are able to be active and do things that make them happy.

  • Many of my families who come to me do not have an AAC device or only have one through the school district and want one for their personal life. I offer AAC assessments to see if your child would be a good candidate for an AAC device as well as help set up the AAC device to fit your child's unique needs. To be effective, AAC devices need to make sense to the user and personalization is key. I work with each of my families to come up with a profile that best suits the needs of their child.

  • Whether you've recently acquired an AAC device or desire an update, the device can be tailored to suit your personal needs. This is an additional service, added onto my "AAC Assessment," which fully customizes the device. A comprehensive form will be provided where you can list everything that is important to your child. Once the form is completed, the AAC device will be customized to best suit your child and their needs.

  • Our renting service offers iPads equipped with a diverse array of AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) apps, providing users the opportunity to trial and explore various communication options. This service aims to support individuals with speech and communication challenges by giving them access to a range of AAC programs, including Proloquo, Proloquo2Go, TouchChat, LAMP Words for Life, TD Snap, Cough Drop, and Go Talk, allowing them to discover which applications best meet their unique needs.

I have worked aside countless therapists who have a heart to help their clients through AAC devices but do not have the time to sit down and dive deep into a program.

A lot of workplaces do not supply the site with an AAC device resulting in either not using a device or having a program but quickly plateauing in what to do next with their client let alone target their goals.

I have seen first hand the desire of so many Speech Therapists wanting to use AAC devices if it was easier to understand. With sharing my profile, my colleagues and other professionals have been able to feel more comfortable with utilizing the device in session and even making customizations to devices.

Testimonies

“I just want to express my gratitude for meeting Ms. Ashley. On our first day at therapy, while we were in the waiting room, they were playing Moana. My son started crying, throwing himself on the floor due to overstimulation and screaming because he wanted them to change the movie. We went outside, and when his appointment time arrived, we went to our therapy room. He was still screaming and crying. That's when Ms. Ashley suggested trying something new. I agreed, so I sat facing him backwards, and she had my son use his device to communicate his feelings. As a mom, I felt like I needed to step in and calm him, but Ms. Ashley remained very calm, patient, and helped him relax, calm down, and express his feelings through his AAC device. I felt like crying tears of excitement when he finally expressed how he felt.

Since then, Ms. Ashley has customized his AAC to his needs, his voice, his favorite activities, sounds, movies, and even food orders! Without a doubt, she has been an angel brought into our lives.” - Mari

“Ashley has been working with my son who is nonverbal autistic and we are blessed to have her help and support. I can’t say enough about Ashley she has the best patience of any therapist who has worked with my son.

She has helped accomplish milestones that I thought I would never see. She shows unwavering dedication and compassion in her work. She has gone above and beyond for him and will do so for any child. Thank you Ashley for everything you have done!” - Jenny

“Cannot say enough good things of Ms. Ashley. She did an amazing job connecting with my daughter who was non-verbal and treated us like family. She was so compassionate and loving and I immediately felt comfort knowing we were in good hands.

Ashley is very experienced and knowledgeable in AAC devices so she was able to give us constructive recommendations and guidance to support our daughter in preparations of using AAC devices or otherwise, we felt so lost and anxious. She cares personally about my daughter’s interests, keeps her motivated and meets her where she is while also helping her to thrive. She made learning so fun for her and my daughter always look forward to her sessions.

We are so blessed to work with Ashley and I would highly recommend her for anyone seeking speech therapy services for their child. ” - Annie
