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 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.

Building Blocks, Inc is transitioning! We are so grateful for our Naples families and friends and wanted to let you know how Building Blocks, Inc. will be transitioning.
Today is the last day our office at 671 Goodlette Rd. N, Suite 140 will be open. Our therapists are transitioning in the following ways:
Charlene Westman will be moving to Orlando in the weeks ahead and will continue seeing patients via Teletherapy.
Thais Martins has resigned to complete her Master's program in Speech-Language Pathology through Florida State University.
Kasey Silverman, Kristin Lee, and Patsy Mikelson will move across the street to 670 Goodlette Rd. N and continue seeing patients on Monday Sept 20, 2021. This location is owned by O'Connell Behavioral Services. Kasey, Kristin and Patsy will see patients on the first floor of this location.
Ariel Price, Shelbee LaFemina-Peshevsky, Dana Mordew, and Brittney Weppner will continue to see patients at Caring Hearts PPEC.
We are so grateful that Carilyn Espinosa will continue working with us as office manager.
We are excited about these changes and will continue to post more updates as we progress! Onward!
