“MAKING YOUR CHILD’S VOICE HEARD”
ABOUT FOR GOODNESS SPEECH
For Goodness Speech, established in 2017, is a locally owned speech therapy clinic based in Warren, CT.
My mission is to improve the lives of children and their families through highly skilled, individualized, and family-centered speech therapy services. Therapy at my clinic is tailored to each individual child based on their own strengths and challenges. Unlike some clinics, I strongly encourage caregivers to participate in their child’s speech therapy session. It’s important to witness those light bulb moments when the new skill finally “clicks”, and to learn what prompts to provide at home as needed to maximize generalization of skills outside of the therapy room. I include caregivers as part of the team and work with them to develop a plan that best fits the child’s needs.
When you call my practice, you speak directly to me, Ashley, the Speech Language Pathologist who will be treating your child. Since I am the only clinician, you won’t have to worry about therapist turnover and your child having to get used to a new therapist every few weeks or months.
Services
Therapy at my clinic is individualized and personal. When you call my practice, you speak directly to me, Ashley, the Speech Language Pathologist who will be treating your child. I work directly with the family to understand your needs and develop a plan that works best for your child. No treatment plan is the same; children's language therapy is tailored to each and every child. I have a variety of experience in evaluating and providing speech therapy for children of all backgrounds and utilize evidence-based practice when treating. I encourage family participation in sessions so that parents and caregivers understand what their child is working on and how to carry strategies over into the home.
MEET me!
Hi! I’m Ashley Maturo, Speech Language Pathologist by day, Mom of 3 by afternoon/night! I have 3 kids under the age of 7 and find that I easily relate to my clients on a daily basis because we are all experiencing the “messy middle”! I was born and raised in Dutchess County, NY and moved to CT with my husband in 2018. In my free time, I enjoy reading a good thriller/mystery, and watching true crime shows on TV. I love DIY projects and almost majored in interior design before I fell in love with the field of Speech Pathology. I attended the University of Virginia (UVA) in Charlottesville, VA and have a profound love for my alma mater!
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN IT’S TIME TO REACH OUT TO A CHILD SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST?
Is your child often not understood by close family members, teachers or peers?
Do you feel like you have to translate your child’s speech to be understood?
Does your child’s speech sound “slushy” or “noisy”?
Is your child becoming increasingly frustrated when others cannot understand what they have said?
Does your child substitute sounds for others? For example, do they say “tea for key?” Or “fum for thumb?”
It is typical for children to make mistakes when they learn to say new words but if it continues past a certain age, it becomes a disorder. Most children can say almost all of their sounds correctly by the age of 5.
Don’t wait and see! Only a qualified speech language pathologist can tell you if there is something to worry about regarding your child’s speech productions.
What my clients say
I can’t say enough good things about Ashley. We have been working with her for close to a year and have seen tremendous growth in my son’s speech ability and confidence speaking. She makes his sessions a fun experience and is always so thorough when explaining to me what her plan is or the reasons behind certain approaches. She is a true professional and has been a gift to our family!
I can not say enough about how amazing Ashley is. We started back in October for our 2 and half year old. He had been receiving Birth to three but I wanted to get another opinion and to see what else could be done to help with our son’s expressive speech delay. The evaluation alone was incredibly valuable, giving us insights and tips to work on to improve not only expressive but receptive language as well. I was already amazed from the evaluation. Every week she continues to amaze me working and engaging with our son. He absolutely loves going each week and has come so far in such a short time period! Our friends and family our beyond impressed with his progress; new vocabulary, his clarity, and simply his increase in talking. I can’t say enough how grateful we are for Ashley and how much she has helped our family.
My three children have seen some of the most sought after speech therapists in NYC, but for our summer in Ct they worked with Ashley and she was fantastic. The kids made progress and had fun. Ashley gives clear, easy to follow instruction in a warm happy environment. I only wish we work with her year round!
My son loves working with Ashley. She has really taken the time to get to know him and us as a family. My son loves visiting her office and knows there will always be a fun game to play. Ashley knows how to make the sessions meaningful and joyful. Ashley knows my sons specific goals and has been able to treat him accordingly. We always leave a session with a plan and next steps.
Ashley has helped my son tremendously with his speech! She makes the sessions engaging, fun, and exciting for him. Ashley provides lots of feedback and guidance for us as parents to work with additional support at home for my son. So grateful to have her working with my son!
My 3 year old has been working with Ashley for close to three months now and loves going to "speech" with "Miss Ashley." Ashley is organized, prepared, and effective in her therapies with my son, and he is making great progress in an otherwise tricky speech disorder. She is easy to connect with both on a personal and professional level and is always easy to reach for questions, etc. I would highly recommend her professional expertise to anyone, and she seems to really be able to connect with the littles, which is sometimes hard to do!
