Ashleigh D. Speech-Language Pathologist

I am a Speech & Language Pathologist with experience working with children and young adults. P.R.O.M.P.T.

I have experience working with individuals from birth through adulthood for a variety of speech and language delays/disorders. I currently practice in an early intervention setting where I work with families and their children age birth to 6 years of age. I previously worked for Detroit Public Schools with students aged 3 years to 21 years. My caseload consisted of children with a diagnoses in addition to speech and/or language concerns such as: Autism Spectrum Disorder, Global Developmental Delay, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Emotional Impairment, and Cognitive Impairment. Education:
2010: Bachelor of Arts Honours in Developmental Psychology from University of Windsor
2011: Post-baccalaureate in Communication Sciences & Disorders from Wayne State University
2012: Graduate Certificate in Autism & Behavioural Sciences from St. Clair College
2014: Master of Arts in Speech & Language Pathology from Wayne State University

Extra Training:

It Takes Two to Talk®
Involves facilitating parents' involvement in their child's early language intervention through teaching, coaching and scaffolding so that they can effectively apply learned strategies to everyday interactions with their child. Target Word™
Involves teaching parents of children who are Late Talkers how to help their children by using responsive interaction strategies and focused stimulation to facilitate their children’s expressive language development. More Than Words®
Involves teaching parents of children with autism to facilitate their child’s social and communication skills in everyday contexts, fulfilling the key criteria for effective early intervention for these children. TalkAbility®
A program designed to help parents learn strategies you can apply during your everyday life with your child to help you understand your child’s perspective better, and to help your child understand the perspectives of others – a key part of social communication. You also learn how to help your child have longer conversations with both adults and peers, as well as how to support their friendship skills. (PROMPTS for Restructuring Oral Muscular Phonetic Targets)
Intro & Bridging Trained
A multidimensional approach to speech production disorders that embraces not only the well-known physical-sensory aspects of motor performance, but also its cognitive-linguistic and social-emotional aspects. PROMPT is about integrating all domains and systems towards positive communication outcome.

See the Strengths First. Always. 💖

In early childhood education, how we see a child shapes how they see themselves. This powerful quote reminds us:

“Supporting a child starts with seeing what is working… not what isn’t. Growth begins when we build from strengths, not deficits.”

Whether it’s through play-based learning, nature exploration, or creative expression, children thrive when we notice and nurture what lights them up. ✨

🌱 Instead of focusing on what a child can’t do yet, let’s:
✔ Celebrate their unique learning style
✔ Support them with sensory-rich, child-led invitations to play
✔ Encourage confidence by building on what they already know and love

From problem-solving in the block centre to making sense of the world through dramatic play, children are already capable learners. Our job is to recognize their potential and meet them with compassion, curiosity, and trust.

Let’s keep building classrooms — and homes — where every child feels seen, safe, and strong.

Did you know we have eight (not five!) sensory systems that connect us with the world?

Learning how autistic children experience each one can give you a better understanding of their sensory preferences – and you can build on these to promote fun interactions! Learn more at https://bit.ly/4cpFPWe

When we discovered that most of the research on play development is normed on neurotypical kids, while most of the research on play intervention is aimed at autistic kids, we had to take a minute. (It’s troublesome, right?)

Once we shifted our lens from the medical model of disability (trying to “fix” deficits) to a social one (focusing on understanding and supporting people in living authentically), it all started to make sense.

In this review, we share how we can:
- use strengths-based principles and apply them to play intervention,
- differentiate three common types of play-based therapy, and
- individualize play-based therapy approaches to provide neuroaffirming intervention
