✨ Meet Rebecca ✨

Rebecca Waxman, MS, CCC-SLP, is a dedicated Speech-Language Pathologist with a specialized focus on empowering individuals through Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).

Rebecca earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and her Master of Science from Northwestern University. Driven by a passion for providing every individual with a reliable way to communicate, she completed the intensive UIC Assistive Technology Certification Program with a dedicated focus on AAC. This advanced training allows her to navigate complex communication needs and implement high-tech and low-tech solutions that bridge the gap for her clients.

Beyond her work in assistive technology, Rebecca brings a wealth of experience treating a broad range of communication challenges across the lifespan, including:

Language Development: Receptive and expressive language disorders.

Speech Production: Articulation and phonological disorders.

Social Communication: Supporting pragmatic language skills in diverse environments.

Rebecca is committed to neurodiversity-affirming care, ensuring that every client’s unique voice is heard and celebrated. Whether she is helping a child find their first words on a dedicated device or supporting an adult in regaining their independence, her approach is rooted in evidence-based practice and a deep respect for the individual's autonomy.

My practice Julie Kahn and Associates is a private pediatric speech language pathology practice. Our practice takes a "whole child" approach and works to figure out each child's areas of strength and vulnerability. We teach both clients and their parents strategies to help them to be able to realize strengths, show true abilities, and build confidence in communication and academic skills.
