She is a top notch bilingual speech-language pathologist and an excellent human being. She provided therapy services to two of my children, one for language and the other for feeding therapy. The gains they both made along the way, under her guidance and using the coaching model to teach me how to support their progress was nothing short of amazing. She’s got a perfect balance of sweet and firm when it comes to dealing with non-cooperative behavior that kids sometimes display when they're having an off day but still needing to have their sessions done. She really helped my son connect the dots when it came to his language development. I really appreciated her native proficiency in Spanish as it enabled me to comfortably switch between Spanish and English in our time together as it supported our goal to teach our son and daughter in both languages. She understands typical language development and disorders in both languages. She’s got a great grasp on cultural issues/practices and great sensitivity as well, she understands clearly how these cultural factors impact language and other areas of development. She really helped us set realistic goals and those goals were met every time helping us get a sense of accomplishment and relief knowing our kids were making gains and challenges were overcome. We treasure memories of our time with Ms. Ayleen. She has become a dearly loved family friend.“ — Ambar D. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1d2a6e40dd02550e4f0c93/1595760135652-U1R52SWJVRFGRJYVBEPV/shutterstock_1512681875+%5BConverted%5D-01.png Testimonials - “Las enseñanzas y consejos que nos ha brindado Ms. Ayleen han sido de gran ayuda en el desarrollo emocional y en la terapia del habla de mi hija.

Ayleen was one of six students admitted to the graduate program’s bilingual track in which she was able to provide therapy in Spanish to both adults and children in the clinic. Additionally, she provided therapy in Spanish to preschoolers in the program “Ranitas en El Campo” a program partnered with Forth Worth ISD. Furthermore, she had the opportunity to be part of TCU’s feeding program. The feeding program focused on implementing treatment strategies for children whose parents often classified them as being “picky eaters,” or having other food aversions and sensory needs. Along with the treatment plan, this program offered parent education training on typical and atypical feeding development, feeding challenges, the importance of playing with food, and the parent-child feeding relationship. Throughout her years of working as an assistant, student clinician, and as a certified Speech Language Pathologist, her area of expertise is working with children in early intervention, ages 1 to 3 years old and school aged children 4 to 10 years old. She has practiced in private practice, university and outpatient rehabilitation clinics, and the Texas early childhood intervention program, throughout Dallas and Denton counties. Through her experience working in diverse populations and settings, she knows the value of collaborating with the most important individuals involved in a child’s development, and their caregivers. Her therapeutic model is working in conjunction with families, teachers, and healthcare providers. She ensures goals are met and each child reaches his or her maximum potential through an engaged, dynamic, play-based, and routine-based approach. Research shows that providing therapy in the child’s preferred and natural environment allows for children to develop critical communication skills and gain confidence that can have transformative impacts in many areas of their lives. Ayleen holds a license to practice in the state of Texas and it is certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and has been trained in Pathways Parent Training Program and Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI). The Pathways Parent Training Program is designed for children with or at risk of Autism. It is a manualized program developed to fit the guiding principles of early intervention. It is a Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI). The procedures taught follow the principles of operant learning and are based on powerful Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) teaching tools—such as prompting, fading, shaping and chaining. This therapeutic program is designed to teach parents to address the unique needs of their toddler with autism. This program uses an approach that promotes communication and social engagement; changing the developmental trajectory and helping these children become active participants in the world. TBRI is an attachment-based, trauma-informed intervention that is designed to meet the complex needs of vulnerable children. TBRI uses Empowering Principles to address physical needs, Connecting Principles for attachment needs, and Correcting Principles to disarm fear-based behaviors. While the intervention is based on years of attachment, sensory processing, and neuroscience research, the heartbeat of TBRI is connection. Additionally, she is in the process of getting a certification as an Epidemic Answers Certified Health Coach. In her free time, she enjoys dancing bachata and salsa in community events as well as performing at dance congresses at state and national level, exercising, reading, and watching her favorite football team the Dallas Cowboys. https://www.farfallatherapy.com/faqs daily 0.75 2024-04-22 https://www.farfallatherapy.com/our-story daily 0.75 2024-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f1d2a6e40dd02550e4f0c93/4e0e6a78-a814-4531-a19a-ea01d02b8984/Farfalla+-+Butterfly%404x.png Our Story - Farfalla means butterfly in Italian. At Farfalla Therapy it is our mission to help reach your child reach their fullest potential and be able to reach new heights. “A butterfly symbolizes transformation, change, and a new form of life. Butterflies go through different stages in their lives before truly blossoming into a beautiful butterfly. The transformation, change, and renewal of their lives can be synonymous to the life of a person. Just as when a person undergoes changes and faces difficulty and not so beautiful phases in their life, what happens next is that all these things are transformed into a learning experience where the person grows and changes for the better. Just as the butterfly leaves behind its cocoon and transforms from a low crawling crater, the person now reaches his full potential is able to reach new heights.” – Butterfly Insights Farfalla Therapy is a pediatric, bilingual therapy practice that provides individualized services based on the specific needs of your child.
