Thank you very much Miss Melodie and Asheville Speech Associates. God bless you all." – Mother of a 5 1/2 year old with an articulation delay

"Melodie was wonderful. She worked with both children initially; but the girl was able to reach her goal sooner, so we got to know her pretty well. She kept Jonathon interested by making things and using very creative techniques and we feel his success was due to her excellent teaching. She kept us informed on his progress and gave us things to do at home to improve his speech problems. His speech is very much improved and we appreciate everything she did. The kids loved her too. You always knew when Ms. Melodie had been to school that day, it was the first thing the kids told us at home."

"Melodie Meadows was wonderful and a pleasant teacher. My son really enjoyed her. He made great progress. He will miss her greatly."

"Ms.Mandy did an exceptional job with Jordan. She communicated thoroughly and made me aware of what we could work on at home. I noticed tremendous progress being made. Thank you!"

"This was a wonderful experience! Our 2 1/2 year old daughter blossomed under the care and guidance of her speech therapist, Mandy Robarge, and I received the support and education I needed to reinforce her progress at home. Very warm environment! We especially enjoyed the animal decor and the kitty-cats! I appreciated the upstairs playroom, changing station and observation room. Very caring and professional staff. We are so grateful for the top-notch services we received. Our daughter always looked forward to her appointments - that says it all! Thank you!"
