Let’s Connect — KidSpeak Is Ready When You Are

Thank you so much for visiting KidSpeak Therapy! If you’ve landed on this page, you’re probably looking for guidance, support, or clarity about your child’s speech, language, literacy, or myofunctional needs — or maybe you’re simply wondering why your child’s tongue seems to have developed its own personality. Whatever brought you here, I’m truly glad you found your way.

I’m Amy Clayman, an experienced speech-language pathologist and orofacial myologist serving families in Bethesda and the greater DMV area, as well as clients online in Florida and California through high-quality telepractice. I specialize in working with children ages six and up who need help with tongue thrust, mouth breathing, oral habits, speech clarity, narrative language, or literacy skills. Many families aren’t sure whether their child needs speech therapy, myofunctional therapy, or a blend of both — and that’s completely normal. This page is your safe starting point.

You can use the form on this page to ask questions, schedule an appointment, check availability, or simply get a better sense of which service fits your child’s needs. Every message that comes through is read personally, and you’ll always receive a warm, human reply — no automated responses, no confusing medical jargon, and no waiting in mystery for days. Just clear communication, next steps, and real support.

Whether you’re reaching out from Bethesda, Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C., Florida, or sunny California, my goal is to make this process as simple, reassuring, and welcoming as possible. Helping your child speak, breathe, read, and grow with confidence is truly what I love most.

I’m excited to connect with you. Whenever you’re ready, let’s take this next step together — one thoughtful message at a time.
