Our Approach
Guided by our core principals, our approach is rooted in providing exceptional care and support to children and families.
Working with Dr. Ehrhardt.
Dr. Ashley Ehrhardt is an expert in her field who takes pride in providing a uniquely flexible evaluation experience to parents and students.
Her commitment to flexibility, collaboration, and developing a relationship with your family ensures your investment in a comprehensive evaluation provides the information necessary to pursue the support your child needs to thrive in life and academics.
Our pillars of care.
-
Dr. Ehrhardt knows that most families have busy lives and offers flexibility in scheduling, with weekday and weekend appointments available at three office locations in the Chicago area (Roscoe Village, Elmhurst, and Westmont/Oak Brook).
-
Dr. Ehrhardt also practices flexibility during testing sessions, checking in on a student's fatigue levels and reactions to the evaluation process and adjusting her approach accordingly. If your child requires less intensive sessions to perform at their best, shorter sessions may be scheduled.
-
To ensure your experience is of the highest quality, Dr. Ehrhardt also acts as the sole provider throughout the evaluation process, scheduling sessions, conducting all testing, scoring, interpreting all assessments, and writing the final report.
-
Another key benefit of working with Dr. Ehrhardt is her dedication to developing a relationship with your family. She emphasizes open communication with parents, with multiple touchpoints to keep you informed and involved in the process.
-
Using a team approach by collaborating with other professionals involved in your child's life, such as Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and Occupational Therapists (OTs), is another of Dr. Ehrhardt’s priorities. She observes sessions with your child's private providers when appropriate and conducts in-school observations for early childhood and elementary aged students as part of the assessment process.
-
Dr. Ehrhardt’s dedication extends beyond the evaluation process, and she remains available for consultation throughout your child's educational journey, offering guidance and support.
Providing holistic, research-based support.
With her expertise in administration and interpretation of assessments, her research-oriented approach, and her flexibility, Dr. Ehrhardt ensures that each evaluation provides clear, accurate insight into a student’s strengths, areas of difficulty, and strategies for best supporting their development.
