COMPREHENSIVE SPEECH THERAPY
“Amy is a true gem!”“I have had the privilege of having Amy work with my son. Because of Amy, my son’s reading-level has significantly increased as well as his confidence! But she brings more than just that to the table–she really cares about him and his well-being. This is so evident as Amy welcomes you to start the session and my son is so excited to see her! She also goes the extra-mile to make sure you understand how your child is progressing and will communicate with you between sessions to keep you fully informed of your child’s progress. Amy is a true gem”
“It’s made a difference for all of us.”
“Stacey and I wanted to thank you so much for the work you did with Jack and the way he is speaking now. There is never a time we ask him to repeat himself (unless he’s naming Pokemon characters because no one can understand that) and its very infrequent that we will ask him to repeat a word because he slipped and said “free” instead of “three”. It has been wonderful having long conversations with him and hearing him talk as a child should. We can’t thank you enough for your work, patience and most of all the fun experience you made this for Jack. Its made a difference for all of us.”
“I truly can’t say enough good things!”“Our experience with Ms. Amy has been so fantastic! When my son first started working with Amy, I truly thought we had a LONG road ahead of us. Turned out we only needed a little less than a year. I am still amazed by this! She made our weekly visits something that Logan looked forward to…he never felt like it was hard work because Amy made it so much fun for him. She has a wonderful way with children and she worked with him in such a loving and fun way. His confidence has grown so much through our experience. And to hear him speak now, you would never know he previously had any speech issues. We are thrilled with our results. And Logan now asks frequently when we can stop by just to see her and say Hi. I truly can’t say enough good things!”
“Amy’s weekly sessions with my son made learning fun…”“My son needed more one on one learning time then a pre-k group setting could provide. Amy’s weekly sessions with my son made learning fun and gave him the positive encouragement and confidence he needed to be prepared to start kindergarten in the fall. I am so proud of him and so thankful to Amy for her hard work.”
“I highly recommend her to anyone! ““Amy is wonderful! I came to her with a need for two of my children which she was able to take on all at once! In addition, she was able to work with both of my kids in a way that made them feel comfortable and want to succeed. I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“If your child is in need of speech therapy I HIGHLY recommend Amy Clayman!”
“Amy Clayman is the best! She worked with my daughter for a year and helped her through her speech issues. Amy was able to, almost immediately, diagnose my daughter and implement a program tailored to not only her speech needs but also her personality! By using things she liked to play with, like cupcake games and iPad apps, my daughter stayed interested when she normally would have lost focus. When she was about finished with her therapy, we asked Amy to help her learn phonics to prepare her for Kindergarten and within 2 weeks my daughter had them down! Amy is wonderful with children and even better with their nervous parents! If your child is in need of speech therapy I HIGHLY recommend Amy Clayman!”
“My son made progress in an atmosphere of fun and learning….”
“Of all the therapists we tried in the past, Amy is truly the best!! My son made progress in an atmosphere of fun and learning….
Highly recommended!!”
“Look no further — you can’t find a better speech therapist than Amy!”
“I truly believe “Miss Amy” was born to do this! She is incredibly creative with the ways she incorporates learning into fun and games. Every week, there is a new game or activity to keep my daughter interested and engaged, and Amy is great about encouraging her and giving positive reinforcement. Her personality is upbeat and welcoming with a voice that commands attention, yet in a non-threatening way. My daughter just loves her. It is clear Amy puts her heart into her work, and her enthusiasm shows each and every week we see her. She is solution and results-oriented, and when presented with a challenge, she caters to my daughter’s specific needs to find a method that works. She also provides us with tools and handouts to continue practice at home. Look no further — you can’t find a better speech therapist than Amy! She is truly special and has a gift to share!”
“Ms. Amy’s philosophy of acting more as a parent coach was refreshing…”
“My daughter was diagnosed with a severe articulation disorder at age 3. I was so concerned she would face life-long speech problems and issues. Then we found Ms. Amy! She immediately calmed my fears and became a true partner in seeking our daughter’s full potential. Ms. Amy was amazing with our daughter, always kept her engaged and entertained in the therapy process and quickly became the highlight of my daughter’s week. Ms. Amy’s philosophy of acting more as a parent coach was refreshing and armed us with everything we need to ensure our daughter stays on track. Thanks to Ms. Amy, after 6 months of speech therapy, our daughter is 100% more intelligible and loves her speech activities. If you want THE BEST, you want Ms. Amy!!!!”
“We saw her grow leaps and bounds from where she started.”
“My daughter was diagnosed with Language Impairment and was getting help from OCPS. However, she did not qualify to get help over the summer. We decided as a family to find a private therapist to work with her so she would not only lose what she learned in Kindergarten, but also could be more ready to learn in first grade. It was such a blessing to find Amy Clayman with Kidspeak! Before we even decided to use her (and pay her) , she would follow up with me on Siena and how her progress was! She would answer my questions, give me suggestions on how to help her and comfort me when I needed it. Once we began therapy with Amy, we fell in love with her even more. She made therapy fun for my daughter. We saw her grow leaps and bounds from where she started. But most of all, I appreciated how she allowed us to watch the therapy sessions so we could be involved with what she was doing with my daughter. She would even give us tools to allow us to work at home. If ever given the opportunity, I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of a speech therapist!”
