Clare Ford, MA, CCC-SLP

Welcome! I'm Clare Ford, a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist and the founder of Ford Speech Therapy. I hold Master's degrees in Speech-Language Pathology and Education, alongside a strong foundation in pediatric development — supporting diverse pediatric populations from infancy through adolescence across public school systems, clinical supervision, and private home health.

I have extensive experience supporting children with speech sound disorders, expressive and receptive language delays, autism spectrum disorder, cluttering, and feeding challenges. I'm a recipient of the ASHA ACE Award for advanced continuing education, with specialized training in the SOS Approach to Feeding and PROMPT tactile-kinesthetic techniques.

Clare was so good with my autistic son. Kind and patient — she knew how to motivate him. And she was patient in showing me how to use his AAC device.

Clare made such a difference! Fun, professional, effective. Our son looked forward to Clare's visits! And she was great at communicating with us.
