Welcome to Speak & Spell Therapy 

Speak & Spell Therapy is a speech-language pathology private practice owned and operated by Dr. Ashley Gibson in Lee's Summit, Missouri, and serving surrounding communities. At Speak & Spell Therapy, we provide skilled, evidence-based speech, language, and literacy therapy designed to help individuals build clear, confident communication. Our mission is to support communicators of all ages through high-quality, personalized care that empowers each individual to reach their fullest potential. 

I am passionate about delivering therapy that is thoughtful, individualized, and rooted in current research. I believe that meaningful progress happens when services are tailored to the unique strengths, needs, and goals of each client. 

We offer comprehensive evaluation, treatment, and consultation in areas including articulation, expressive and receptive language, literacy development, and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).

At Speak & Spell Therapy, we believe communication is the foundation of connection, confidence, and lifelong learning. Our approach integrates evidence-based practice with a whole-person approach that respects each individual's strengths, needs, and unique communication style. Through personalized, meaningful therapy and collaboration with families, we strive to create a supportive environment where growth is encouraged, progress is purposeful, and every communicator can thrive.
