Meet Ashley
“No matter the task, improving your quality of life is always my end goal.”
Ashley Laudick, M.A., CCC-SLP
Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist
After 15 years of working with adults, I know how frustrating it can be when you can’t say the things you want or eat your favorite foods. I’m here to help!
As a speech pathologist, I have special skills to help people regain swallowing, speaking, and cognitive function.
We’ll work together to evaluate your problems and build a treatment plan that focuses on YOUR goals.
How therapy can help you or your loved one…
Midwest Speech & Swallowing is dedicated to improving communication and swallowing. Whether you’re recovering from a stroke or managing a long-term illness, we are here for you. Our therapy sessions take place in your home during the activities that are most important to you. We know nobody goes through this life alone, so we also teach caregivers ways to support their loved one’s safety and independence. Together, we can reach your goals!
Therapy for Speaking
Whether your goal is to speak more clearly, increase your vocabulary, or return to work, our speech therapy sessions will help you regain your ability to communicate with family and friends.
Therapy for Swallowing
Are swallowing challenges taking the joy out of mealtimes? Once we identify the cause of your dysphagia, we will provide you with strategies and exercises to get you back to enjoying your favorite foods and drinks.
Therapy for Cognition
Cognitive therapy will focus on building skills that you need in daily life, such as scheduling an appointment, managing your medications, or preparing a meal. Our goal is to help you live as safely and independently as possible.
"Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day-in and day-out.”
