Portland´s Top Speech and Language Therapy for Children

Parkwood Clinic believes that learning should be a fun and enjoyable experience. Children grow, thrive, and flourish in a rich environment of positive reinforcement and one-on-one interaction.

Our treatment sessions are goal driven and data based to clearly track your child’s improvement and changes in their learning pattern. We use a variety of state-of-the-art technology, toys, and activities to achieve this teaching model.

Parkwood's Story

Growing up in the Portland Metro Area, Ashley Rose Carter knew she wanted to pursue a career in speech-language pathology from an early age. She received her M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology in 2010 from the University of Washington and worked in a variety of pediatric settings (private practice, hospital, outpatient, early intervention, and public schools) before establishing Parkwood Clinic in 2013. Based on her childhood experiences, Ashley understood the challenges families in Oregon face when it comes to receiving individualized pediatric services. Parkwood Clinic’s mission is to reduce barriers for families to access high quality services and skilled intervention.

Today Parkwood celebrates 10 years of growth, innovation, and family success stories! Parkwood utilizes a collaborative team approach to generalize targeted skills across clinicians, peers, educators and settings. Each Parkwood clinician is carefully selected based on their clinical expertise, empathy, critical thinking, and relationship-building skills. These characteristics remain core values to Ashley and fundamental to Parkwood today.

Ashley and her husband Drew live in West Linn with their three young children. In her spare time, Ashley loves camping, hiking, and caring for her cut flower garden.

What People Say About Us

My son's therapist, Reagan, is not only a great SLP but an incredibly kind human being. She  has great integrity in her work and her commitment to her clients. She connected when I described the struggles I had communicating my son's needs to the school and sat down with us in the most difficult IEP, advocated for my kid. He made so much progress with parkwood than all years put together with other therapists. She saw what was the impeding issue at the core that my son struggles and did not get carried away by the big diagonis  terms. Her goals targeted those and its like a wack a mole - other skills he struggled started improving. At the same time, she also targeted what is demanded at school. She balanced both. I guess that did the trick. Its hard to find good therapist who are dedicated to what they do and best of all love what they do. If a person loves what they do  they go great lengths in what they do. Reagan Barnes is one such amazing kind speech and language therapist.

My son has been seeing Amy at Parkwood over the past year, and it couldn’t be a better fit. Amy is amazing! She has opened up a whole new world of communication for him with his family and peers, and I’ve seen his confidence grow exponentially as a result. After a year, he is still excited to go to his sessions for toys and his “speech jobs.”

Jennifer Hashemian

I was lucky enough to go to Parkway Clinic for my two children and they helped them a lot, especially Giovanni, who was treated by Danielle. She is a very good teacher and has a lot of patience with them. Giovanni began to say more words and I learned to teach my children.

As Seen On

Expert Pediatric Speech and Language Therapy

In many clinics, therapy is subjective and not tracked from session to session. At Parkwood Clinic, we record data from every session and allow analysis to drive the direction of the sessions. We make it a point to work on every goal in every session. Studies have found that repetition is the key to progress. Parkwood’s data-driven and rigorous nature allows for visible progress both in sessions, and in a child’s natural environment.
