What People Are Saying
“My son looks forward to attending his sessions with Beth/ Samantha every week! He loves his one on one time with them, and asks everyday when he gets to go back. Friends and family, and his teacher have all been able to tell a huge difference in his speech. We are so thrilled with the progress he has made in this short time! We cannot thank them enough for everything we have learned this far! I love that Beth and Samantha give me ideas and information on how to help him at home in between appointments!”
“These are our two boys, Joaquin and Dante. Joaquin was officially diagnosed with autism at the age of 4, through the process of testing both with a neuropsychologist and our school district’s team. While we were going through the process with Joaquin, we started noticing some signs with Dante, and he was first evaluated at Pediatric Interventions and started Early Intervention services around 15 months of age. Dante was then diagnosed officially just before he turned 2 years old. Both boys have participated in individual speech therapy, groups, and Dante participated in developmental therapy and the amazing Monkey Group. Every step of the way, our talented team of speech therapists, developmental therapists, and occupational therapists both at school and in private services have helped us so much and we have seen our boys flourish tremendously. Our team really feels like having another family who cheers us on through successes and helps us through difficulties. Joaquin and Dante are both in mainstream classes and doing great. Every step of the process has been with the help of our amazing service providers, we are so thankful that they are part of our autism journey💙”
“My daughter started Early Intervention when she was around 19 months. As a mother it was hard to hear that your daughter has a delay in speech. After working with (my therapist) for the past year, my daughter has made leaps and bounds. I am forever grateful to (my therapist) for helping (my daughter) catch up to her peers. (My therapists) is always there to answer my questions, or explain something further. I really appreciate her effort and her gentle push with (our daughter).”
"Tell Sarah I'm super thankful to have had this opportunity today (parent education workshop) and to keep them coming!”

"My youngest two have speech and communication delays. We tried every game, song, every learning tool we could get our hands on. We tried making structured schedules and thoroughly immersing the kids in activities and outings. Nothing we did worked, nothing helped them go further. PI is an amazing place where amazing things happen. I have seen my kids blossom and grow more than I could have thought possible in a few months. Everyone here is amazing, there are no other words. I cant wait to see where the rest of this journey takes them and us as a family!"

"We went to PI for a 2nd opinion after my son was diagnosed with a speech delay at a local hospital. Within the first appointment, Ms. Lane thoroughly assessed him utilizing several different assessment tools to determine his current level of ability. She did in fact confirm my feelings/thoughts about his current services & plan- neither were accurate. He loves going to see her and has made tremendous gains in communication."

My son has been saying a few words here and there since he started his speech therapy at Pediatric Interactions.
Alondra has been great, I love the way she interacts with my son and follows his lead. My son is a visual learner and when I mentioned that to Alondra she made a few picture icons for him which are really helpful during the session.
What I like most about pediatric interactions is that it has a very welcoming environment and a big room with a huge variety of activities and toys for kids to play and engage with. My son loves going to that room and playing on the swing, slide and the ball pit that's kept at the entrance of the room.

"I've really enjoyed working with Sarah Rosten and her team at Pediatric Interactions. They have a wealth of great information and services for helping my kids. I'd recommend going here for your children if you're near the Lake County area.

BirdEye Reviews
“The progress I’ve seen is night and day. Every day I see her speech grow and grow and she’s a lot more expressive. I love that Miss Gail tailors each session to what my daughter enjoyed the previous week. What I’ve shared concerns about, she just tailors it to us.
I feel like with your office there’s no silly questions and it’s a safe place for me to share concerns and to come with questions.
It’s gonna be a sad day when we no longer need to go see you.”
— Mary D., April 2024
“We have definitely seen a huge improvement with our daughter over the past few weeks. She’s using her words and really starting to find her voice. It has been so refreshing. I think she feels comfortable with Gail. Whatever she has been working on/doing with her is definitely helping.”
— Preston B., April 2024
“I’m really glad we were able to get this going so quickly when I called a couple months ago! Things are going really well so far! It is really helpful that my son knows Beth from her time at Big Hollow, so we didn’t really need a transition period in order for him to be settled and interested in participating. I have appreciated the feedback I get from Beth after each session and fully trust her plans for goals and support for him.”
— Alicia J., April 2024
“Everything has progressed incredibly well and we are very thankful for the care your entire staff has shown Lincoln, Nicole and I.”
— Ryan M., 12/2023
“We all like Gail. She is very personable. I love that she meets with me and my son at the end of the session and they review what they worked on.“
— Marilyn A., 12/2023
“We have definitely seen progress and our son is answering us more often and finding more ways to communicate through speech. We’re so lucky to have Alondra helping him and look forward to his sessions every other Tuesday! Alondra has been amazing and always takes the time to talk with us about what they’re working on, answer all our questions and go over things to work on at home and concerns. I think everything is going great and our son also enjoys going each week as well! 😊 I really love also how she incorporates things he likes, like ocean animals, into his learning and also some physical activities like using the swing. We are really lucky to be working with her and can really see a lot of growth with his speech!”

“Everything is going great so far with the speech therapy! Since we started coming to see Beth several weeks ago, our daughter's speech has blossomed. There’s been such a huge difference. We couldn’t be happier with the services! What I like most about the clinic is there’s new toys each time and different ideas that always keep our daughter engaged.
Beth is super patient and so pleasant to work with. I don’t have any feedback on how things could go better because my husband and I are so happy with everything and honestly can’t believe how much our daughter is talking now.”
— Caitlin K. 10/23
“Things are going really well - My son is continuing to improve and communicate more so we are very happy with progress.
Overall, Gail is very receptive and caring towards my son.
The office team provides the same consistency and care for our family, which is great!”

“Everything has been going fantastic with Pediatric Interactions. My daughter is talking so much more at home and her words are coming along very well. Miss Gail is wonderful and I truly just adore her. Today when Miss Gail came out to get my daughter she ran to her and gave her a huge hug. She is not typically over affectionate outside of family and this made me so emotional and happy. I am very happy with Pediatric Interactions. They are always so wonderful, warm and welcoming. Therapeutic Links recommended us and this was the best decision we ever made.”
— Amanda B., 9/23

“Our therapists are awesome! Two of my grandchildren have used the services and I have a 3rd that still is in therapy and I honestly don’t’ know what would have happened if I had not found Pediatric Interactions. I tell everyone how great you are. They even backed me while trying to get my granddaughter in early education. You all are such a blessing keep up the good work. By the way did I tell you we have an awesome group of therapists?”
“Thank you for all your help and willingness to work with our hectic schedule. Our daughter always felt cared for and comfortable during her therapy sessions.”
“(My child’s therapist) and the group is fantastic. (Our therapist) is great with her techniques and wanting parents to know what she is doing and how she is working on the goals. Thanks!”

“We love working with Pediatric Interaction. They are easy to work with (even send text reminders), have a nice facility, and we looove our therapist! (Ms. Thao) They host lots of extra educational and fun activities too, and are very involved in the community (we loved their table at Grayslake trick-or-treating with inclusive goodies for all). Highly recommended! 3/1/19”
