Online Myofunctional, Spelling and Auditory Processing Therapy for Vermont Families

Helping Vermont Kids Speak, Breathe, Spell and Listen With Confidence

I'm Amy Clayman, M.A., CCC-SLP, a speech-language pathologist registered for telepractice in Vermont and a certified orofacial myologist. In a state where the nearest specialist can be an hour or more away, online therapy means no long drives, no snow days and no missed school. Three of my programs work especially well this way.

Online Myofunctional Therapy in Vermont

Myofunctional therapy retrains the muscles of the mouth and face. It helps kids 6 and up with tongue thrust, mouth breathing, open-mouth resting posture and speech sounds like /s/, /z/ and /r/ that haven't responded to regular speech therapy.

We do the evaluation online. Beforehand, I mail a mini evaluation toolkit to your home. Learn more about myofunctional therapy.

SPELL-Links Spelling Therapy in Vermont

SPELL-Links is a speech-to-print word study program built on oral language, which makes it a natural fit for speech-language therapy. Kids learn spelling strategies that carry over to reading and writing assignments. They work on an interactive lesson board and save their own Word Study Journal page each session. Learn more about SPELL-Links.

CAPDOTS Auditory Processing Training in Vermont

CAPDOTS is an online listening training program for kids, teens and adults with auditory processing difficulties, like trouble hearing in noise or following multi-step directions. It's done at home, so it's built for families far from a clinic. I provide a parent orientation, weekly progress checks and optional live guided sessions. Adults train on their own schedule, with the same weekly check-ins. Learn more about CAPDOTS.

How Online Therapy Works

• Live, one-on-one sessions on a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform

• Same Eastern time zone, so after-school times are easy

• I've provided teletherapy since 2016

• All you need is a computer, a webcam and a steady internet connection

Questions Vermont Parents Ask

Can you work with us if you're based in Maryland? Yes. I'm registered for telepractice in Vermont, so I can provide therapy to children located in Vermont.

What if our internet is spotty? A steady connection matters for live sessions. If yours is unreliable, let's talk before booking about what might work.

Do you take insurance? KidSpeak is self-pay. I provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
