SIDER SPEECH & LANGUAGE
Courtney S. Sider, M.A. CCC-SLP/L
When you decide to put your child's communication into my hands, it immediately becomes my number one priority. I’ve been serving the Chicagoland community as a Speech & Language Pathologist since 2010. I value the relationships I form with each student, and believe that goes a long way in improving their communication outcomes. I provide my services right in the comfort of your home or in your child's daycare/school. Call or email to find out how I can help your child today.
