Synapse Pediatric Therapy
We are a private practice offering pediatric speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy with a clinic in Evanston, IL. Our team of compassionate Speech Language Pathologists (SLP) and Occupational Therapists (OT) are committed to helping the children and families they serve.
This is how we do it…
-
Most of our clients meet with their dedicated Speech Language Pathologist or Occupational Therapist once or twice per week for 30-50 minutes. Depending on where you live, your child can meet with their SLP or OT at our clinic in Evanston, in your home, at your child’s school, or online. All of these ways of connecting are effective and will offer your child the highest level of care.
-
To us, the relationship between the child and their SLP or OT is the foundation for their success. When the child knows they are with an adult who cares about them, encourages them, and sees what makes them unique—the child will enjoy the session more, be more motivated to participate, and lean into challenges that help them grow. Additionally, it’s very important to us that parents are on the same page with their child’s process, and feel comfortable asking questions and raising any concerns.
-
Our practice uses evidence-based strategies set forth by the American Speech and Hearing Association (ASHA). During sessions, your SLP will embed these strategies into activities that are engaging and fun for your child. You may think that they are just playing, but that’s because children learn best through play!
-
The impact of parents and caregivers being involved in the child’s growth process is HUGE. That’s why we provide education and home practice activities to train anybody who plays a vital role in the child’s life to support them—parents, caregivers, and even siblings. It’s deeply fulfilling for us to empower families to regularly support their children’s speech, language, or occupational development beyond their therapy sessions.
-
We know that we’ve done a good job when your child graduates and doesn’t need our services anymore! Nothing is more fulfilling than watching children flourish and achieve the goals set forth in the Plan of Care. Our team is encouraging, reaffirms growth, and focuses on creating lasting progress and confidence in your child.

“showing genuine care for our son”
We love Synapse! The clinic director is so thoughtful and communicative. With Synapse you get the personal focus and flexibility of a small business with the expertise and experience you’d expect from a larger longstanding company. We’re also grateful to our speech therapist for planning sessions intentionally and showing genuine care for our son. Our speech therapy home visits make our son feel more comfortable, and we can see all the progress he’s made.
