Our Story
Aimee Edwards and Barb Iuorio didn't just build a practice — they built it from a parent's perspective. Both certified speech-language pathologists and both mothers, Aimee and Barb watched firsthand how early identification and intervention could transform a child's trajectory. That shared conviction led them to leave established careers in public schools and found ABC Speech Partners.
Their model was intentional from day one: bring therapy to children where they actually live and learn. By delivering services in homes and preschools, ABC Speech Partners removes barriers, reduces anxiety, and allows children to practice skills in the real environments that matter most.
Today, Aimee, Barb, and their team — including fellow CCC-SLP Alyssa Kimball — bring combined clinical expertise and genuine personal investment to every family they serve in the Scottsdale area. Their mission: empower children to talk, play, engage, learn, and grow.

What Parents Say
Aimee is a caring speech-language pathologist, who has an extensive depth of knowledge and experience. Her therapy sessions created an environment that built confidence in my sons' speech skills, so they were successful communicating with others and developing friendships.
I was not only impressed with Barb's skill as a practitioner, but also her ability to meet kids at their level. Her early work with my son has set him up to be a well-spoken, easily understood child, positively impacting both his school and social life.

ABC Speech Partners is a fee-for-service practice and does not bill insurance companies directly. However, they provide standard receipts and documentation that families can submit independently to their insurance company. If you have a PPO plan, your insurer may reimburse a portion as an out-of-network provider — we encourage you to call your insurance company to understand your specific benefits.

The team treats a wide range of pediatric speech and language concerns, including articulation, language delays, social communication, stuttering, feeding and swallowing difficulties, childhood apraxia of speech, voice disorders, and AAC needs.
CCC-SLP stands for Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology, awarded by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). It is the highest professional credential in the field, requiring rigorous graduate education, supervised clinical hours, and ongoing continuing education.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) encompasses the tools and strategies — from picture-based systems to speech-generating devices — that support children who need more than verbal speech alone. The team is experienced in evaluating AAC needs and training both children and families to use these systems effectively.
The early years are a critical window for communication development. Identifying and addressing speech and language delays early can have a profound impact on a child's academic readiness, social development, and long-term confidence. Both founders built this practice around that conviction.
