Jennifer Huynh, PharmD, Parent of Early Intervention Client

“My 2-year-old son had Ashley as his speech therapist for several months to help with his speech delay. It was a completely new experience for us having a provider come to our home each week, and in the beginning, we were very nervous about it not knowing what to expect. From the first time we met Ashley, she was so easy to talk to and get along with, with a bright personality and a positive attitude, we were immediately at ease to have her come into our home. She was so professional, punctual, respectful, accommodating and patient.  She kept her mask on during the height of COVID to ensure our safety, she removed her shoes to abide by our “no shoe” policy on our main floor, and she patiently allowed me to multitask with our therapy session at times while helping my 2 older children before school. These were all so important to us to maintain a healthy and comfortable relationship. But beyond the many things we loved about Ashley mentioned above, what we loved the most was the wealth of knowledge and service she gave for our son’s speech development. Her passion for speech therapy is so evident in the way she serves her clients. Every morning, she listened intently when I spoke and ensured she understood everything I was trying to relay by repeating back to me and making sure we were on the same page. She gave options for me to choose from, showed examples, and her explanations of “why” were as if she was reading out of a textbook! Ashley is so smart and knowledgeable about her field, and that is an understatement. I learned so much from her and it really helped me to understand how certain activities would help my son. As a pharmacist, who always needs to know “why” and/or “how” something works, this was perfect! She quickly realized that I’m a busy mother of 3 kids with a full-time job, and remembering our goals each week, along with implementing what we had talked about, was a struggle for me. She was so accommodating in giving me tools to help, writing down our goals, texting or emailing me reminders and resources, she made everything so easy! I never felt judged, and she constantly praised and encouraged me when I felt inadequate as a tool for my son. My son has a very hard time warming up to people, but he loved Ashley! She will be terribly missed in our home, but I know she will be blessing many others with her talent!”
