Welcome to Chandani & Burns, LLC

We are an SLP-owned boutique private practice serving children and adults throughout Chicago's North Shore and surrounding communities. We provide speech-language and occupational therapy in our beautiful clinic, schools, homes, and through teletherapy.

Our clinicians are passionate about helping individuals with autism, childhood apraxia of speech, AAC, social communication differences, ADHD, executive functioning challenges, cognitive impairments, aphasia, and complex communication needs.

Families travel from across Illinois—and even from other states and countries—to seek our evaluations and specialized services.

But what truly sets us apart isn't just our clinical expertise.

Our heart is family.

As the sibling and lifelong caregiver of an adult brother with an intellectual disability, our founder, Heera Chandani, understands firsthand what families need: clinicians who genuinely connect, listen, educate, empower, and celebrate every step of the journey. Family-centered care isn't just something we talk about—it's the foundation of everything we do.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for 1-2 outstanding Speech-Language Pathologists to join our growing team.

Whether you're seeking a part-time position with room to grow or you're an experienced clinician looking for a full-time role, we'd love to meet you.

Even better? If leadership excites you, opportunities may be available for roles such as:

We want someone who can work independently while also being an incredible teammate.

Someone who isn't afraid to partner with families, collaborate with other providers, celebrate progress, embrace challenges, and continue learning every day.

If you're committed to family-centered, trauma-informed, and neurodiversity-affirming care, you'll fit right in.
