Personalized Speech Therapy Services for Children in Seattle, WA
Reading, writing and spelling
At Cloud 9, we will work side-by-side with your child to achieve their literacy goals— whether that means focusing on phonological awareness, decoding words, understanding what they read, or improving their writing skills. Your child will:
Become a more confident and independent reader
Brainstorm, draft, revise, and edit their written work
Improve their overall academic success
Speech sounds
Children who struggle to pronounce certain words (aka articulation errors) can become frustrated by the fact others don’t understand. At Cloud 9, we know how crucial it is for children to be able to clearly communicate their needs and be understood. This is our first priority. Your child will:
Be able to speak with clear speech
Be understood by others
Increase their confidence with speaking around others
Language
Our language therapy sessions will meet your child where they’re at, from using their first words to forming complex sentences! We also use storybooks to provide narrative based language intervention. Your child will:
Improve their vocabulary, grammar, and sentence organization
Express themselves with confidence in social and academic settings
Meet Your Speech Therapist
Blaine Cluskey, M.S., CCC-SLP
Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist
Hi, I’m Blaine— a pediatric speech therapist, literacy specialist, and the owner of Cloud 9 Speech Therapy. I have over eight years of experience supporting children with communication and feeding disorders in pediatric hospitals, public schools, in-home settings, and outpatient clinics.
As a child, I was deeply impacted by a teacher who helped me discover the world of books. Her encouragement has stayed with me after all these years, and I strive to make the same impact on the children that I work with at Cloud 9 Speech Therapy. Throughout our time together, your child will feel seen, valued, and supported!
I am also committed to getting you involved in therapy from the start so that you feel confident in supporting your child’s growth at home. My goal is to plan therapy sessions around your family’s values in order to help your child reach their goals— and address challenges with creative, personalized solutions.
Outside of work, I am a hobby enthusiast who enjoys reading, quilting, hiking, spending time with my dogs, taking care of house plants, and attempting to master the art of sourdough. I look forward to getting to know your family!

Hanen It Takes Two
“I have a passion for teaching kids to become readers, to become comfortable with a book, not daunted. Books shouldn’t be daunting; they should be funny, exciting, and wonderful, and learning to be a reader gives a terrific advantage.”
~ Roald Dahl
