Asheville Speech - Janet Bennett, M.Ed. -

John Freeman

I had a chronic cough for almost 10 years. I. Had been to a pulmonologist, and a highly trained internest, both MD quality people about my cough. I went to Asheville Speech and over the internet saw Janet Bennett . She very quickly helped me develop a method to control my cough. Then she helped me with my mouth breathing issue. I have had 2 life changing issues resolved where no one else could help me. Everyone with these issues should see Janet Bennett.

I saw a dramatic improvement in my symptoms from my very first visit, and more than a year later, my voice is stronger than ever.

Janet is a lovely person and a terrific therapist. She is professional, smart, kind, compassionate, and funny.

Diagnosed with muscle tension dysphonia, I started to lose my voice again after five months of recovery. I enjoyed working with Janet and found her treatment plan to be easy, effective, and affordable. In addition to my voice returning, I also noticed I was experiencing better sleep and having less leg pain - something that had plagued me for more than 50 years.

Before my son even started I knew this place was going to be great. Janet worked with my insurance for hours figuring out exactly what was needed in order to get his therapy covered. He saw therapist Julie for only about 8 sessions before the virus hit and what a difference those few sessions made. She helped him and also taught us things we can do at home to enable his communication skills. Before my son spoke mostly in phrases he had memorized but now he's using his imagination and telling us great stories. His tantrums have gone down a lot now that he is able to better communicate his needs. Can not recommend this place enough!

Asheville Speech Associates has CHANGED OUR LIVES. Actually, Mrs. Julie Wood, has changed our lives. My daughter has been attending class twice a week for about six months now and everyday I am amazed at her progress. When we first started, I had a very hard time understanding what my three year old was trying to tell me throughout the day. I knew something was not right and decided to have her evaluated. We were right; she had a speech delay and we got started right away. Mrs. Janet was eager to meet us and help us as quickly as possible. Within a few weeks, we were placed with the most wonderful, delightful and patient woman, Mrs. Julie. Mrs. Julie has been so kind, loving and helpful throughout this whole process. My daughter has grown leaps and bounds since we have started. Small words that once seemed so difficult to pronounce, now rolls easily off her tongue.She loves going to see Mrs. Julie; she loves seeing the cats, she loves the house, she actually loves everything about the whole "speech class" morning. Twice a week, my daughter gets one on one attention with no interruptions (well, maybe from her sister) and the best therapy one could offer. Mrs. Julie brings something new to the table each week for my daughter to learn and practice. The office is quiet, peaceful and the house is beautifully decorated. After each session, I get to speak with Mrs. Julie about what they went over and what to practice at home. There are not enough words to thank all the staff for what they do and I know we will be forever grateful for each and every one of them, especially Mrs. Julie. Thank you Asheville Speech Associates!!!

Our experience with Asheville Speech Associates was absolutely wonderful. The staff was so friendly and caring all the time, and they really helped us feel welcome! The office is very cozy and inviting, with beautifully-designed animal themes in each room, as well as a waiting room with toys for siblings that are waiting along with you. Our daughter "graduated" from speech therapy a few months ago, and we are simply amazed at the progress she made, compared to when she started. Thank you, Asheville Speech Associates! 🙂

We worked with Asheville Speech for about 6 months. Our children saw therapist Julie Wood. Our experience was excellent. Office was very professional yet personal at the same time. Office manager took time to get to know our family and was flexible in finding a budgeting option that suited us. Therapist Julie Wood has a gentle, engaging approach that both my 3 year old and shy 8 year old responded to well. We are moving out of area and hated to leave this practice. Would definitely recommend.

My son saw Julie. When he started at age three he had a very small vocabulary, in less than a year he was using small sentences. It was an amazing experience. The therapists really work with you and your schedule. They care about the development of your child. I was very impressed with every aspect of their business!

My son has autism and he has been with Asheville Speech since he was a toddler, and he is 15 years old now. We recently had some trouble with our insurance and we thought that we were going to have to stop therapy. Janet Bennet (who I think is the sweetest and most caring person that I know) researched and found a grant to help us out! We were so greatfull!! His therapist Amy Harter has done such a great job with him. He has progressed so much not only just with his speech but, also with his reading,puntuation. and comprehension. I would recommend Asheville Speech to anyone! You will be well satisfied and so will your child!
