Season 2- Episode 44

My name is Ashley Jefferies and I am an author, speaker,parenting coach, wife, and mother to an amazing 11 year old son.  In my career as a speech-language pathologist, I have always enjoyed working with children and watching them succeed. Equally important, I have enjoyed working with various families, supplying them with knowledge and skills to help with their child’s development.



Later in life, I went back to school and received a second master’s degree in educational psychology. The knowledge I gained from my studies prompted me to write a book geared towards parents and caregivers of children that highlights the needs of children that sometimes go unmet and some of the potential consequences when important needs are not met. I have a passion for children, and I understand that setting children up for success later in life begins in the home. My desire is to assist parents in going beyond simply providing the basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter for their children. I want parents to meet the unspoken needs of their children as well.

Working in home health and Greenville County Schools as a speech-language pathologist has taught me a lot about the impact a child’shome life can have on future success.  It is vitally important that we asparents strive to provide a home environment that allows our childrento grow and flourish.  That is the reason I wrote the book Protecting Your Greatest Investment:  Investing in the Needs of Children and started Flourishing Futures: “Empowering Your Child for Lifelong Success,” a twelve-week group/individual coaching program for parents of children ages 5-12.  Through research and experience, I wanted to offer resources to assist parents as they navigate the challenges of parenthood and strive to provide the best possible home environment for their children to be successful.
