About me and my practice

Speak with Stephanie was founded by Stephanie Jeret, MS, CCC-SLP, to provide quality speech and language therapy services to children and adults. As a certified speech therapist, she provides speech services for a variety of communication disorders in Skokie, Evanston, Wilmette, and surrounding areas of Illinois.

Stephanie brings a decade of clinical experience as a pediatric and adult speech therapist. She has worked in public schools, skilled nursing facilities, hospitals, and private practice.

In the school system, she has helped students achieve academic success by adapting her approach to their age and interests. She has also educated parents on strategies to assist their children outside of sessions. Her experience spans elementary through high school students, both in-person and through online speech therapy.

In skilled nursing facilities and hospitals, she has helped patients reintegrate into their communities by addressing communication difficulties such as aphasia, speech difficulties such as dysarthria or apraxia, and swallowing disorders. It is incredibly rewarding to see patients achieve their goals and regain their independence. 

​

In her private practice, she provides consultations, screenings, evaluations, and individualized speech therapy to children with articulation disorders, language disorders, challenges in executive function, and fluency disorders (including stuttering). She also provides individualized speech therapy for adults who present with challenges in executive function, language disorders, aphasia, voice disorders, articulation disorders, and fluency. She take a holistic approach with each client and works collaboratively to create goals tailored to their unique needs.
