Hi, I'm Ashley! 👋

I'm a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist with a passion for early intervention and a heart for families. I founded Pediatric Playground Therapy because I believe every toddler deserves to find their voice — and every parent deserves a partner in that journey.

After years of clinical experience, I saw the same challenge over and over: exhausted parents driving across town with wiggly toddlers, only to arrive at an unfamiliar clinic where their child was too stressed to engage. So I made a change. I come to you.

Using the latest evidence-based, play-based approaches, I specialize in helping toddlers ages 18 months to 3 years discover the joy of communication — right in the comfort of their own home, with their own toys.

Do you accept insurance?

We are a private pay practice and do not bill insurance directly. However, we can provide a detailed "superbill" that you may submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We accept HSA/FSA cards, debit, and credit cards.

How do I know if my toddler needs speech therapy?

Trust your instincts! If your child isn't reaching communication milestones, seems frustrated when trying to communicate, or if your gut says something feels different — it's always a good idea to get a quick screening. Early intervention makes the biggest difference.

What does a typical home session look like?

Sessions are entirely play-based and follow your child's lead. Ashley arrives with engaging toys and activities tailored to your toddler's interests. Sessions feel like a really fun playdate with purposeful, therapeutic goals woven naturally throughout.

What does an evaluation involve?

An initial evaluation takes 60–90 minutes in your home. Ashley will observe your child's communication through play, ask you about your child's history, and use standardized assessments. You'll receive a full written report and personalized therapy plan.

What area do you serve?

We serve families in the 805 area. Contact us to confirm we cover your neighborhood — we do our best to accommodate families who need us!

How long will my child need therapy?

Every child is wonderfully unique! Progress depends on the child's profile, consistency of sessions, and at-home practice. Ashley sets clear, measurable goals and reviews progress regularly so you always know where things stand.

What Families Are Saying 💬

★★★★★

Ashley has been an absolute game-changer for our family. Our son was barely saying five words at 22 months, and within three months of working with her in our home, he's stringing sentences together. I can't believe the difference!

— Sarah M., mom of 2-year-old
★★★★★

The home visits made all the difference. My daughter was anxious in clinic settings and made almost no progress. The moment Ashley started coming to our home, something clicked — she was relaxed, engaged, and thriving.

— Marcus T., dad of 18-month-old
★★★★★

Ashley doesn't just work with your child — she coaches you, too. I now have a whole toolkit of strategies I use every single day. It feels like our whole family is part of the therapy team. Absolutely worth every penny.

— Jennifer L., mom of 2.5-year-old twins
