Speak with Ashley

I proudly practiced as a Speech-Language Pathologist in the Department of Education for many years. I treasure my role as a therapist where I help children reach academic success and educate parents about the laws regarding special education. I currently have my own private practice where I provide home visits and work with a variety of students with articulation disorders, Apraxia, Autism, language difficulties, and other health impairments. I also truly enjoy combining my knowledge and practice as a Speech- Language Pathologist with my training in many multisensory reading programs to help struggling readers including Wilson and Orton- Gillingham. In addition, I am an Adjunct Professor at Yeshiva University’s Stern College for Woman and the Katz School of Science and Health where I teach graduate and undergraduate students majoring in Communication Sciences and Disorders. As an Adjunct Professor, I have been able to bring my enthusiasm and passion about the field to inspire others.

​I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy in which parents, teachers, and other therapists work together to provide an optimal environment for success. I strive to create a fun and positive learning environment for my clients. Additionally, I believe in working on incorporating functional skills in therapy in order to promote carryover of speech therapy skills.

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Communication Disorders from New York University and my Masters of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from Brooklyn College. Subsequently, I received a Masters in Education from Hunter College focusing on educational leadership, administration, and supervision. I maintain a certificate of clinical competence in Speech-Language Pathology from the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association (ASHA).
