MS, CCC-SLP, Speech Language Pathologist

I love speech therapy because I get to laugh every, single day. Working with children allows me to celebrate my inner child while helping them communicate at the same time. Seeing the joy on a child’s face as he/she develops a new skill is the most rewarding part of my day. read full bio

Julie Maislen

MS CF SLP

I began working with children at daycare centers throughout Europe and the United States. I loved creating relationships with the children I worked with and discovering creative ways to encourage their language and literacy development. After a decade of traveling, I came back to my roots in New Hampshire to a job working in special education at a public school. It was there that I discovered this field of speech and language pathology, and I haven’t looked back since. read full bio

Ashley Kelley

MS CF, Speech-Language Pathologist

My love of working with children was jumpstarted by a high school internship at MFST nearly 10 years ago. My summer breaks throughout high school and college were spent as as a Camp Runamuck counselor, where my passion was solidified. I went on to receive my B.S. in Communication Sciences and Disorders with minors in Hearing and Deafness Studies and Psychology from Emerson College in Boston. I continued my education at Emerson and graduated in 2019 with a M.S. in Communication Sciences and Disorders. My clinical interests include hearing loss, AAC, feeding disorders, and individuals with complex medical needs. read full bio

Stephanie Topping

Business and Credentialing Manager

I am a proud mother to three young children, two of which are rockstar mucker graduates of Miracle Farm Speech Therapy, and one current rockstar mucker. Joanne and her therapists were nothing short of a miracle as they made their sessions so amazingly fun AND effective at the same time. I am a “mucker” at heart and believe in MFST’s philosophy so much so that I recently joined MFST as a business manager. Prior to MFST, I received my B.S. and M.S. in Civil Engineering from Tufts University. I spent 3 years working in construction litigation, followed by more than a decade in higher education as an institutional researcher. I look forward to working with the MFST team and supporting families in their individual journeys! read full bio
