Speech-Language Pathologist (Pediatric) Full-Time or Part-Time

Speech-Language Pathologist Opportunity

Pediatric Interactions is seeking a Speech-Language Pathologist who is passionate about helping children and families thrive through meaningful, family-centered therapy.

For nearly 25 years, Pediatric Interactions has served children and families throughout Lake County. As we look toward the future, we are intentionally creating a smaller, more focused practice built on strong family partnerships, clinical excellence, and therapist autonomy.

We are rebuilding a therapist-led practice designed around quality care rather than productivity quotas. This opportunity is particularly appealing for clinicians seeking an alternative to large corporate therapy organizations and who value professional trust, flexibility, and meaningful relationships with the families they serve.

If you value flexibility, independence, collaboration, and high-quality care, we would love to meet you.

Areas of Practice

Our therapists have opportunities to work with children in a variety of specialty areas, including:

• Early communication and language development
• Autism and Gestalt Language Processing (GLP)
• Speech sound disorders, articulation and Childhood Apraxia of Speech
• AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication)
• Pediatric feeding disorders
• Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders

Clinicians are encouraged to develop and expand specialty areas that align with their interests and expertise.

Our mission is to empower each family to help their child meet their potential. Our goal is to provide flexibility for clinicians while ensuring families receive consistent, high-quality care. We are looking for team members who share that vision and want to help shape the future of Pediatric Interactions.

This position is ideal for therapists seeking long-term balance, meaningful clinical work, professional autonomy, and the opportunity to help shape the future of a growing specialty practice.
