Charlene Westman has been a practicing Speech-Language Pathologist since 1987. She received a Master’s degree in Speech from the University of Florida, and received her Certificate of Clinical Competence from ASHA in 1987. She is a pediatric practitioner with a specialization in autism spectrum disorders. She has a background in relationship-based intervention with children with special needs which gives her expertise in developing the social connections children need to in order to develop communication skills naturally.

She started a private practice that became Building Blocks, Inc. in Naples, FL in 1994. In 2021, she moved to the “City Beautiful”- Orlando, FL to pursue her dreams while enjoying the beauty of the many walking and biking trails the area has to offer.

In addition to treating children and growing a practice, Charlene has been actively involved in advocating for Medicaid recipients locally and statewide, as well as educating and empowering other Florida Medicaid providers about federal Medicaid law- including the EPSDT benefit. The Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment benefit is key to ensuring that children and adolescents receive appropriate preventive, dental, mental health, and developmental, and specialty services, including therapy services. Charlene was recognized for her advocacy work by both the Florida Association of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists (FLASHA) and the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association (ASHA) in 2021.
Charlene is now accepting new clients in the Orlando area and is available for home visits.

I am super happy with the Speech and Occupational therapy results for my two kids Juan-Pablo and Tadeo. They are very happy to attend Building Blocks, Inc and look forward to their sessions. The therapists there have helped them so much with their speech that now they are able to socialize more with other kids. As a mother I am Ecstatic with the results. The therapists there are super nice and most importantly very understanding in every way. In general, every person that works there is amazing. I recommend Building Blocks, Inc. 100%.

My daughter, who is on the autism spectrum, has been seeing Charlene at Building Blocks for three years. She has made tremendous progress in speech and communication. Charlene is kind and patient, and deeply understands how to best communicate with her. She not only works with my daughter on skills at her appointments, but teaches me how to help her with these skills at home.
