Pediatric Speech &
Language Services
Now helping your child find their voice with customized, play-based speech and language therapy in the Southern Wisconsin, Northern Illinois areas.
For Parents
Our goal is to provide functional, individualized speech and language services using evidence-based assessment and treatment methods. In short, we use our expertise to create custom, detailed treatment plans for your children, while educating you along the way, because your involvement is incredibly important.
For SLPS
Our goal is to provide speech-language pathologists with a supportive, collaborative space to do what they do best—help children thrive. Whether you're looking for contract opportunities with schools or a community of like-minded professionals to grow alongside, we’re here to support your passion and purpose every step of the way.
At Lighthouse Speech Therapy, we believe in easier access to skilled speech and language therapy, quicker treatment timelines, and no insurance-based limitations on the length, frequency, or duration of therapy.
We understand how concerning it can be when your child struggles with early language development, speech delays, or communication disorders. It’s overwhelming, it’s emotional—and it can keep you up at night. That’s why our team of expert speech-language pathologists is here to support families at every stage with empathy, clarity, and personalized care.
We’re a private-pay practice, which means we’re not tied to insurance restrictions. That gives families the freedom to choose the provider that’s the best fit for their child and the flexibility to be involved in shaping the therapy plan—without a third party dictating what care looks like. You know your child best, and we’re here to honor that.
We begin by providing comprehensive speech and language evaluations, and we’ve designed our entire process to stay focused on what matters most: your child’s progress and confidence in communication.
Empowering little voices, one word at a time
Where speech meets play - and progress begins
-
We provide comprehensive, diagnostic evaluations that take an in-depth look at the area of concern. Using standardized assessments and our own informal data collection, we are able to look at all areas of communication to determine strengths and weaknesses. A written diagnostic report is included in the price of the evaluation.
-
Upon completion of an evaluation, a plan of care is drafted and treatment begins. We use child-directed, play-based approaches to address speech and language goals. Therapy is typically provided in 55-minute increments, depending on parent preference and ability level.
-
Periodically, parent training courses and "parent and me" classes are held locally and virtually to provide information and guided practice to address communication. Common topics include building a language-rich environment, how to teach a child to request, and ways to address speech sounds in daily routine. Follow our Instagram and Facebook pages for more details.
What our families are saying…
Lighthouse is really special. I instantly felt taken care of during our consultation for my daughter. Stefanie really encouraged us and made both my daughter and myself feel at ease. When we met Ms. Jen, my daughter instantly loved her. Besides helping with her speech, Jen made a big impact on my daughter’s confidence which has helped her in other aspects of her life since! I’m very thankful for everyone I have met there at lighthouse and recommend it to anyone who is in need of speech therapy.

I am not sure I can put into words how much Lighthouse means to our family. When we first started therapy it was hard for my daughter to regulate herself not knowing how to express her needs or wants. She is considered non-verbal and honestly never tried to communicate verbally with anyone other then myself. She had also been in speech for almost 2 years prior, and I never noticed a huge change. It was like night and day with Mrs. Stefanie. She learned how powerful her voice is. She's encouraged to keep trying, and never give up. Best part, she is genuinely excited to go, and learn more each week. Her future is so bright with the undeniable support she receives at Lighthouse.

We absolutely LOVE Stefanie! She is amazing at what she does. My son is autistic and she embraces him for who he is and doesn’t try to change him. Her and I discussed in length before ever attempting therapy and she has followed his lead and let him communicate in whatever ways he wants. She’s made him and I feel very safe.
