To write a review fitting for Ashley would be entirely too long to read. my daughter suffers from anxiety and Ashley worked so hard to earn her trust, which she did! she’s not only extremely talented, producing amazing results, she’s also kind, warm, and by far the most fun! years later and my girl still misses her speech sessions.

We were referred to speech therapy when our son was 20 months old. We knew there was a problem early on when he didn’t babble or make any sounds by the age of 1. Ashley was his therapist from day 1. she not only is a very talented SLP, she is so loving and caring that she makes her patients and their families feel like they have someone in their corner. She not only taught him (way too many) words, she taught him how to use those words in everyday interactions with people. She spent two years with our son, and now at the age of 6, no one believes that he at one point had a speech delay. If there is someone contemplating speech therapy I would tell them the sooner the intervention the better. and as far as who to go see— no one other than Ashley.

Ashley was recommended to me by the Naples mom group. I was concerned because my daughter, who was almost two, was not talking. Ashley came to our house two times a week for about 6 months and wow!!! My daughter made such huge improvements and is now communicating using 3 word sentences! It’s because of Ashley, my daughter can now say “I love you”, and because of that, I will always cherish Ashley. She provided me with home activities to increase my daughter’s language skills and she always made therapy fun for my girl! We love her so so much!

My family found Mrs. Ashley Hancock after a long search for a speech therapist for our daughter. Ashley was a kind-hearted professional that always went above and beyond to help our daughter meet her goals and reach independence. Ashley was an integral piece of our child’s development and will forever be a person my family cherishes. I am so grateful to know Ashley and for my daughter to have worked with her. Ashley has my highest recommendation and trust. She is a brilliant and beautiful person dedicated to helping children learn and grow.

Ashley is a successful Speech pathologist and a genuine person. Her consistent techniques will provide positive results. she’s motivated at her profession. She is patient, understanding and has a knack for her profession. My son was as I’ve always referred to as, tight lipped. Ashley got him talking and when she did, his vocabulary bloomed! He met all of his goals in a timely fashion and it was both bitter and sweet when he graduated from working with her. Thankfully she is in our community because for each client/patient that she helps become the most successful independent person that they can be, family, friends and others in their lives will also benefit. We have been most grateful!

My daughter was extremely difficult to understand, I was constantly translating for her which was very frustrating for her. Her friends couldn’t really understand her and when we brought her to play on words therapy to have her evaluated, We learned that while she was 3 years and 7 months, her verbal skills were that of a 25 month old. Ashley told us she could get her caught up in about 6 months. We started 2 days later on February 20 and she finished her last session on May 14, way before her projected time. Ashley is so amazing with kids, they absolutely adore her. She always gave us homework to work on with her and for the first time ever, she’s not needing me to explain what she is saying. I only wish that we had done this sooner! My kids are already asking to go back and visit her. I am so excited for her to be able to communicate with her friends and teachers, and I am so thankful for Ashley and I highly recommend her!
