The Asheville List

The Asheville List: speech therapy and support for local families

We are in the process of updating Play, Talk and Grow's Asheville list of qualified speech specialists, but please give us a call (or schedule one) if you are just starting your child's speech journey.

You can also find qualified mental health professionals in the Asheville, North Carolina area through verified local directories and individual practices offering both in-person and virtual sessions.

Online education is very important to the Play, Talk and Grow family, and we rely on our blog to reach those we can't help directly. Check back weekly for new content on speech therapy and news about services in the Asheville area.
