Ashley Small

We were highly recommended to Ashley from everyone we spoke to all and all the local facebook groups for her specialty in helping kids with Articulation. We originally thought our child’s articulation difficulty was just a problem with one sound. After meeting with Ashley for an articulation consultation and completing a full, comprehensive assessment, we quickly realized there was so much more to understand. Ashley’s attention to detail was incredible. She looked beyond the

We were introduced to Ashley by another mum whose daughter had worked with her. She strongly recommended that we do one of Ashley's summer intensive programmes, telling us it would make a huge difference. She was absolutely right. At the time, our child was receiving literacy intervention every day at school but was making very little progress. We felt frustrated and worried that nothing was really helping. We decided to commit to working with Ashley every day throughout July

Ashley came highly recommended to us by another mum whose child had worked with her for literacy support. She told us, "You're in the best hands," and said Ashley was "worth her weight in gold." Looking back now, we couldn't agree more. Our son started working with Ashley before going into Year 2, and from the very beginning she made learning enjoyable. He genuinely looked forward to his sessions every single day, which is something we never expected. Ashley has a wonderful w

When our daughter started working with Ashley in Year 1, we felt overwhelmed. She was struggling with attention, speech sounds, language, reading, writing, literacy, and executive functioning skills. It seemed like every area of learning was a challenge, and we didn't know where to begin or whether we would need multiple specialists. Then we found Ashley. We couldn't believe there was one person who understood how all of these areas were connected and had the knowledge to sup

When our son started working with Ashley in Year 7, he struggled with reading, spelling, and writing. We knew he needed support, but we never imagined how much progress he would make. What amazed us the most was the transformation in his writing. We couldn't believe the quality of the stories and essays he was producing or the sophisticated vocabulary he was using. Ashley explicitly taught him how the English language works, including prefixes, suffixes, spelling rules, and w

When our son began working with Ashley in Year 5, he had significant difficulties with reading and writing and was well behind his peers. He had very few foundational literacy skills, making it difficult for him to keep up with the school curriculum or work independently. Ashley created an intensive programme, working with him five days a week for 50-minute sessions. She systematically built his sight word knowledge, reading fluency, spelling, and writing skills while ensurin

When our daughter started working with Ashley in Year 1, she was struggling with her speech, reading, and writing. We didn't realise how closely everything was connected, but Ashley immediately identified that her speech sound difficulties were affecting her ability to learn letter sounds, read, and spell. Ashley worked on all of these skills together, helping our daughter improve her speech while building strong foundations in phonics, reading, and writing. She made every se

When our son started working with Ashley in Year 7, he was one of the lowest readers and writers in his class due to dyslexia. Reading was a struggle, spelling felt impossible, and writing more than a few sentences was overwhelming for him. Ashley used a structured, evidence-based Orton-Gillingham approach to teach him the rules of reading and spelling in a way that finally made sense. She broke everything down into manageable steps, giving him the confidence and skills he ha

Before working with Ashley, our daughter had virtually no phonics skills and found reading incredibly difficult in year 3. Over the past two years, Ashley has transformed not only her reading ability but also her confidence. Through her patience, expertise, and structured approach, our daughter has progressed to reading at grade level, something we once worried might never happen. The biggest change, though, is that she now genuinely loves reading. She picks up books for fun,

My 14 year old son was complaining to me about his lisp that it was bothering him and making him self-conscious. I immediately contacted...
