Ashley Peralta-Fogle

Ashley Peralta-Fogle (she/her) is a Developmental Interventionist with EMME. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of Colorado at Denver in 2016. Two years later, she earned her Master of Science in Early Childhood Education with a focus in Early Childhood Special Education.

Ashley became an elementary special education teacher for three years after working as a teacher’s assistant in an inclusive preschool. She brings personal experience with early intervention services to the EMME team. Ashley’s brother is diagnosed with significant intellectual disabilities and growing up, she saw the impact these programs set him up for success.

She’s thrilled to support families through the caregiver coaching model so that guardians can use tools to support their babies, siblings, and even other family members. Ashley cherishes her trusting partnership with families. She prioritizes strategies that empower others to center their child’s active participation in their home and respective communities.

Ashley believes that all kids start with the potential to achieve anything, regardless of diagnosis or delay. As grown ups, our role is to meet children where they are, and build from there, to reach the potential that others may not see. Her giddy joy is contagious when a child and caregiver have a “first” based on the skills she’s taught that family. She lives for all of the Little Big Wins she celebrates with caregivers daily.

Ashley lives in Austin, Texas with her husband, also appropriately named Austin, two black cats Toothless and Chekov, and daughter, Simone. When they're not overly tired trying to catch up on sleep, they enjoy trying food spots as a new family of three!
