Chicago Speech Therapy

We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Chicago Speech Therapy, especially with our therapist, Caroline. She’s been incredibly patient and supportive with our son, and in just six to seven months, we saw real progress in his speech and communication. Unfortunately, we had to switch to a new provider recently since our little “threenager” has been refusing the car seat, and we decided that home visit sessions would be a better fit for now. If Chicago Speech Therapy offered in-home services, we would have absolutely continued with them without hesitation. Caroline’s dedication, warmth, and understanding made every session enjoyable and productive. The 600+ glowing reviews they have are a true reflection of the care, professionalism, and commitment they bring to every child’s development. Thank you again, Caroline, and the entire team at Chicago Speech Therapy, for everything you’ve done for our family.

Our kid worked with Emily F, who is wonderful! Emily keeps all sessions fun and upbeat, and follows kids’ leads. We never doubted that she cared deeply. Our kid learned a ton and so did we! Thank you, Emily. We should add that we had equally amazing experiences with Colleen and Camryn. CST is a wonderful place.

We've had such an incredible experience with Ms. Claire as my son's speech therapist. From day one, she has been nothing short amazing, so professional, warm, and deeply knowledgeable with children speech development. Ms. Claire is not only fantastic at what she does, but she has also formed a truly special bond with my son. Her patience, care, and genuine passion for early childhood development have made all the difference in his progress. We feel so lucky to have found her!! She's truly the best therapist you could ask for.

We had the best experience with CST and especially our favorite SLP, Caroline Planek! Caroline is an exceptionally talented, patient and passionate therapist! When our son started speech therapy with her at 15 months, he had no words and struggled with even simple gestures like waving or clapping. Thanks to Caroline's expertise, patience, and engaging approach, he not only caught up but blew past all his milestones by the time he was 2.5 years old. He LOVED going to see her each week, and her play-based approach was incredibly effective (and fun) for him and us. We were always seen promptly, parking was relatively easy, and billing/insurance was straightforward. He's now a vibrant, chatty, and outgoing boy, and we truly credit Caroline for helping him find his voice. We feel so fortunate she was assigned to work with him and highly recommend her and CST to any family in need of a truly exceptional speech therapist.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Lauren at CST. My son, Jack and Lauren had an instant connection. I was nervous going into this being my first time navigating the world of speech therapy but it has been such an incredible experience. My younger son attended the sessions too and even he developed a relationship with her. We love lauren like our family and would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

My 7 year old son had speech therapy with Chicago Speech Therapy for about 2 years with great success! I am glad I proactively sought early intervention to correct some of his speech patterns. All the therapists he had with CST were engaging, timely, and very patient. His latest therapist, Emily, always brought great energy, patience, and creativity in coaxing him to practice his sounds. My son looked forward to his sessions with Emily and was sad to have them end because he had so much fun with her. CST worked with our son's school schedule and processed insurance claims efficiently. We've recommended CST to our neighbors and they have been pleased with the results as well.
