ABOUT US
Ashley E. Budrow, MS CCC-SLP
I am a dedicated and experienced Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) holding a Master of Science degree and the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). For over 20 years, I have been passionately committed to helping adults overcome the challenges of dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and regain the joy of eating safely and comfortably. I understand the significant impact that speech and swallowing difficulties can have on your quality of life, affecting communication, nutrition and hydration, social interactions and overall well-being. That’s why I founded Radiant Results Speech and Swallowing Therapy, to provide expert, personalized care in the familiar and comfortable setting of your own home.
At Radiant Results, I believe that effective therapy is built on a foundation of understanding, collaboration, and personalized care. I take the time to listen to your individual concerns, thoroughly assess your speech and swallowing function and develop a treatment plan that is specifically tailored to your unique needs, goals and lifestyle.
I am proud to serve the residents of St. Petersburg and the wider Pinellas County community. I understand the local healthcare landscape and I am dedicated to providing accessible and high-quality in-home therapy to individuals in need throughout the region. My goal is to be your trusted partner in overcoming speech and swallowing challenges. Together we will once again Speak Well, Eat Well and Live Well.
