Guys🤯! You all have stepped up and been sharing and helping us advocate for not just us at Invitation Therapy but kids all over the state. At 9.5k views our post, through your help, has made it all over! With the reach increasing I wanted to share a link where if you’re in NC but not local to us you can find your local reps phone and email. I also want to invite any politician that may see this to come visit us for a day and see the kind of work our therapist and families do to help kiddos. These services are not just dollars and cents they are the future of this state. Let’s keep pushing to take the politics out of healthcare to preserve these services for years to come! I’m all for budget cuts but limiting healthcare access to kids who need help isn’t it. Thank you all for your support!

Guys, Ashley and I are so humbled and thankful for this outpouring of support through sharing, texting, commenting and every other way you guys have reached out. I mean less than 24 hours and almost 5k views on our post 🤯. This morning I’ve been praying and trying to process the outpouring and what would a victory look like in this. Obviously an immediate victory would be consistent payment for service provided but I felt like God pressed on me the fight for collaboration. What if our voices and efforts not only help the private setting in the short-term but create a more open, honest and patient focused model of service. Protect the providers against fraud and misuse and allow providers trying to serve their communities to do so more efficiently and effectively. We might as well dream big!

Here is the contact list for our local and state reps! I have also created an email that I can send through messenger, comment if you want me to send it over, if any of you would prefer send it or obviously feel free to share any thoughts you have in your own words. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Good afternoon! This post is very different from our usual posts, and I ask that you watch (7 mins but important!) and share our video. We are fighting every day to make sure the services we render stay available to your children. Some days that fight feels overwhelming, but with your voice and support we can make a difference. God has blessed us with the opportunity to serve you all, and that is a blessing we will continue to fight for because the services they need are medically necessary, and we will never take that for granted!

I will provide a follow up post with contacts for each of these offices. Thank you!

☀️ Summer is one of our busiest seasons! ☀️

As schedules shift and school services pause, therapy spots tend to fill quickly. If you’re considering services for your child, now is the time to get referrals submitted and evaluations scheduled to secure your summer appointment times.

We are currently accepting new patients:

📍 Marion – ST & OT
📍 Leicester – ST & OT
📍 Swannanoa – ST & OT
📍 Lenoir – ST, OT & PT

Don’t wait until schedules are full — early referrals help ensure your child gets the consistent support they need through the rest or school into the summer months.

📞 Contact us today to get with any question or to get started 828-559-2164

Quick parking update for our Marion families! 🚧 While construction is happening in the front lot, please plan to park in the back parking lot for appointments.

If back parking is full or difficult, your child’s therapist will be happy to communicate with you and can even meet you outside to help walk your kiddo in.

Thank you all so much for your patience and flexibility. We’re excited about the updates the building owners are putting in and can’t wait to see how great everything looks when it’s done!

So some of you have been with us since the beginning, but seeing this memory made me want to share how blessed we’ve been to work with so many amazing families and to help make these super important services available not just in McDowell County, but all over Western North Carolina.

When Ashley started Invitation Therapy, she rented a one-room building that you honestly hoped you wouldn’t fall through the floor when you walked in. Her goal was to provide awesome speech therapy services with her own hands to the kids she loved so much. As she worked incredibly hard, God shined a light on the greater need — not just here in McDowell, but throughout the region.

This video was taken during construction after Ashley and I signed with GEM for our first expansion in the Miller Building. It’s amazing how far we’ve come, and it’s all because of our incredible families and staff who continue to do such amazing work.

If you’ve ever been to our clinic in the Miller Building, take a look at this and see how much we’ve grown! A huge thank you to all the communities we serve for trusting us to work with your children. It is a blessing we will never take for granted!

****Attention Lenoir Invitation Therapy Families****

When visiting for services, please park on the News Topic parking lot side and walk down the front sidewalk to access the main entrance of the building. A significant amount of residual ice and snow remains and is slowly melting and falling from the roof. Efforts are being made to remove it, but this will likely continue for hours, and your safety upon arrival is our priority. Thank you and stay warm!
