Ashley Ellis gives much of the credit for some of her daughter’s most basic life skills to therapy the little girl received at a Gainesville-based nonprofit. “We saw that she wasn’t reaching her milestones,” Ellis said of her daughter, Bailey, at Tuesday’s Champions for Children breakfast at the Quinlan Visual Arts Center in Gainesville. But after enrolling at Challenged Child and Friends Inc. and working with the organization’s occupational and speech therapists, among other staff, Ellis said Bailey is now crawling and “excelling in her speech.”
