Getting started
How do I know if my child needs speech therapy?
Common signs include difficulty being understood by others, limited vocabulary for their age, challenges following directions, struggles with social interaction, or reading and writing difficulties. If you have any concerns about your child's communication, a free consultation is a great first step — we can talk through what you're noticing and whether an evaluation makes sense.
What happens during the first appointment?
We typically start with an initial evaluation — a time to get to know you or your child, understand your goals and concerns, and assess current communication skills. After the evaluation, we'll discuss findings and work together to build a plan that fits your needs and daily life.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes! A free 15‑minute phone or video consultation is available so you can ask questions, share your concerns, and decide if we're a good fit — before committing to an evaluation or session. Book your free consultation here.
Services & sessions
What ages do you work with?
Clementine Speech Therapy serves individuals of all ages — from young children developing their first words to adults seeking clearer communication at work or in daily life. If you're unsure whether services are a fit for your situation, just reach out.
How long are sessions, and how often will we meet?
Sessions are typically 30–60 minutes. Frequency varies based on individual needs and goals — some clients begin with weekly sessions, others less often. We'll determine the right schedule together after the initial evaluation.
Do you offer teletherapy?
Yes — teletherapy is available for clients across Florida. Virtual sessions are conducted over a secure video platform and are just as effective as in‑person sessions for many areas of speech‑language therapy. They're also a flexible option for busy schedules.
Do parents or caregivers participate in sessions?
For younger children especially, caregiver involvement is a core part of how we work. You're your child's most important communication partner, and we'll coach you on practical strategies to use between sessions. For older children and adults, family or caregiver participation is welcome and can be tailored to what feels most helpful.
