We forgot to take pictures until the very end but our fourth annual Fall Open House was such a fun and cozy time 🍂

Thanks to all who came out to celebrate Fall and the power of connection- we love getting to be a part of an amazing network of caring professionals.

Have you met Natalie yet? Natalie joined us this summer and is leading a free caregiver-child class on Mondays at Synapse at 10am.

Stop by on a Monday at 10 or check out her bio if you are looking for speech therapy for your child.

Natalie is inspired by the natural joy, wonder, and curiosity that children bring to each session. She loves helping families reach their goals through play-based therapy, and believes that every child deserves to feel supported in discovering their own path to communication.

🌟 Good news for last-minute planners! We’ve extended registration for two of our favorite summer groups that start next week:

🎨 Craft Crew (ages 6–7 · Thu 3-4 PM)
• Tie-dye, slime, friendship bracelets—each week is a new hands-on project.
• Led by Jenny, an experienced OT, so every activity builds fine-motor and social-emotional skills while kids have a blast creating with friends.

🎈 Preschool Connect (ages 3–4 · Tue 1–2 PM)
• Cooperative games, pretend-play adventures, and plenty of giggles
• Led by Natalie, a pediatric SLP, whose calm, joyful energy- and musical-theatre flair- fill each session with connection and creativity, guiding children toward clear, confident communication while they make new friends through cooperative play.

We still have a few seats open and would love to fill them with kids who are ready to create, imagine, and connect. Groups kick off NEXT WEEK and meet once a week through early August.

Our Story

Our Clinical Director, Katie Vienot, was introduced to the profession of speech pathology when her cousin, Will, was born with Down Syndrome. His speech therapist provided home visits and she became like family to Will and his parents. Will is now a young adult. He chats on the phone with friends and family, knows more jokes than Katie, has starred in several theater productions, and is a continual source of inspiration.

Since earning her Master’ Degree in 2012, Katie has worked with children with communication disorders. Seeing a need for smaller caseloads and flexibility in her own life, Katie founded Synapse Pediatric Therapy in 2016 with the desire to create the kind of practice she would choose for her own child. Recently, several like-minded Speech Pathologists have have joined the practice to better serve the North Shore and Chicago area.
