MEET YOUR SLP
Hi, I’m Natalia.
I help little voices find their way.
I am the founder of Chatterpillar Pediatric Therapy, a practice I created to provide individualized, family-centered care while helping children build strong foundations for communication, feeding, and overall development.
I earned my bachelor's degree in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences from Western Michigan University in 2020 and my Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology from Midwestern University in 2022.
Throughout my career, I've gained experience working with children in outpatient clinics, early intervention, and home-based settings. I specialize in early language development, including late talkers, helping young children build foundational communication skills through play-based therapy and parent coaching. I'm also PROMPT Level 1 trained, with additional specialized training in orofacial myofunctional therapy, oral motor development, and pediatric feeding.
Polish was my first language, and I grew up in a Polish-speaking household. This background has given me a special appreciation for bilingual development, and I'm proud to offer services in both English and Polish.
Having grown up in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, I'm especially excited to give back to the community that shaped me. My goal is to provide individualized, family-centered care that helps every child grow, communicate, and thrive!
"I never thought I would see this day."
"We set a small goal together — just one new food by December. He's already blown past it. Watching him grow and thrive every single day... I cry every time I think about it. It's been so good to finally see real progress."
-Mom of a 6 year old boy
WHAT FAMILIES SAY
Real families. Real Progress.
"He genuinely loves her."
"Natalia understands my son so well. He genuinely loves her — my heart melted when he ran to hug her. Thank you for everything you do. We appreciate you more than words can say.”
-Mom of a 2 year old late talker
