Children’s Speech, Language and Learning Services is a private pediatric practice, established in 1991 by Janet Knutson, MS CCC-SLP. When she began the practice, Janet’s goal was to offer cutting edge speech and language evaluations and treatment to families in the greater Indianapolis area.

Our practice has grown over the years, and is comprised of a group of professionals who are known not only for their dedication to children and families, but for their excellence in providing outstanding services. Our Speech and Language Pathologists each hold Masters Degrees, are members of the American Speech, Language and Hearing Association, and are Licensed to provide private therapy within the state of Indiana. Our tutors are trained in the most progressive, clinically proven methods available, resulting in highly specialized reading instruction that improves the ability for a child to decode and comprehend. Our support staff are recognized for the time and care they take in helping to answer questions, and in directing parents through the initial part of the speech, language, and learning process. We invite you to explore this site fully to learn more about our practice.
