My name is Ashley Arbuckle, founder of Arbuckle Speech Therapy.
My desire to start a mobile speech therapy service came about after my years of work in hospitals, early intervention, schools and private practice. The constant barrier most parents reported to me was having to trek from one appointment to another and never feeling like they had a home base or even a break. After experiencing this with my own daughter and stepsons, I dedicated my time and energy into developing a company that would make life easier on parents. Children do best in environments they are most comfortable in, and as a busy mom myself, I know how valuable your time is! Imagine having the best of both worlds: I come to you, saving you hours of travel (and packing and planning) time and your child thrives while receiving individualized therapy in their own home, daycare or preschool.
I am an ASHA Certified Speech Language Pathologist, a Certified Brain Injury Specialist, an AAC enthusiast and a mom to a vivacious and social little girly-girl and stepmom to two energetic and sport-loving twin boys! I am passionate about creating awareness of the importance of early intervention and guiding parents every step of the way.
I can't wait to help you and your little one get started!
I am so glad you are here!

Frequently Asked Questions

-
AphasiaAphasia impairs the expression and understanding of language as well as reading and writing. There are varying types of aphasia. With some forms of aphasia, an individual may understand speech and know what they want to say, but they may speak in short phrases that are produced with great effort and errors. They may have difficulty naming objects even though they know what the object is and what it may be used for, or they may have difficulty understanding spoken language.
-
Apraxia of SpeechApraxia of Speech is a neurological disorder that affects the brain pathways involved in planning the sequence of movements involved in producing speech. The brain knows what it wants to say, but cannot properly plan and sequence the required speech sound movements. This may be developmental in nature or acquired as a result of a brain injury, stroke, brain infection, tumor or related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
-
Articulation DisordersArticulation Disorders refer to speech sound errors characterized by distortions of a sound (i.e., thoap/soap) or substituting sounds (i.e., wain/rain). With articulation disorders, there may be difficulty producing a single sound or a few sounds, though most of their speech is intelligible to others.
-
Phonological DisordersPhonological Disorders refer to the use of incorrect speech patterns. Sounds may be omitted (i.e., dropping off the final sound of a word [ba/bat]), substituted (i.e., using a /t/ in place of a /k/ [tar/car]), or syllables may be dropped off (i.e., “bay” for “baby”). With phonological disorders, the errored speech pattern may change the meaning of the word and severely affect the intelligibility of speech.
-
Augmentative/Alternative Communication (AAC)Augmentative/Alternative Communication (AAC) is any mode of communication an individual can use other than speech. AAC systems assist individuals with complex communication disorders to help support them in their expressive communication. AAC may take the form of signs, picture cards, communication books or communication applications such as Proloquo2Go, GoTalk, LAMP Words for Life or TouchChat. Research shows that AAC can be a great facilitator for speech development as well as language and literacy for children with delayed language!
-
Cognitive-Communication ImpairmentsCognitive-Communication Impairments are difficulties with communication skills that involve executive functioning, memory, attention, perception, organization, regulation, and problem solving. Cognitive-communication disorders can stem from a brain injury, stroke, brain infection, tumor or can be related to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
-
Deaf and Hard of Hearing (D/HH)Deaf and Hard of Hearing (D/HH) is a term that refers to individuals who have a decreased ability to hear, whether it's permanent or fluctuating. This can impact a person's ability to communicate, learn, or socialize. We support children who are deaf or use assistive hearing devices such as hearing aids, bone-anchored hearing aids (BAHA), and cochlear implants with their communication!
-
Early InterventionEarly Intervention describes the services and supports that are available to babies and young children with developmental delays and disabilities.
-
Expressive Language ImpairmentsExpressive Language Impairments refers to difficulties requesting objects, asking or answering questions, formulating sentences or describing events. Expressive language impairments may also be characterized by difficulty putting words together, having a limited vocabulary, or being unable to use language in a socially appropriate way.
-
Fluency Disorders (Stuttering)Fluency Disorders (Stuttering) is characterized by repetitions of sounds, syllables, or whole words, prolongations of single sounds, or blocks of airflow or voicing during speech.
-
Receptive Language ImpairmentsReceptive Language Impairments refers to difficulties with understanding or processing spoken, written or gestural language. A child with a receptive language impairment may have difficulty following directions or answering questions, may interrupt others or appear off-topic, may not understand what they’re being asked or frequently ask for repetition.
"I cannot say enough good things about Ashley and how she's been a HUGE impact in our life! She was very professional and worked so well with my son. All I wanted was to be able to communicate with my Julian boy (at the time he was a 2 year old baby with a diagnosis of Down syndrome and a heart condition.) Now he has over 20+ signs and we can finally communicate. Not only has our son's communication skills improved, so has his confidence and self esteem. I am over the moon with our son's progress ever since. She taught me so much and gave me so many tools and kept me informed and active in his progress with home practice and feedback. She exhibited good patience and love for her job. She always made the session fun which had my baby engaged and learning.
I thank you for all of your help and assistance in helping my son's speech!
We will forever love you and appreciate you!"
