Center for Autism & Related Disorders (CARD) | Chicago – O’Hare

At Center for Autism & Related Disorders (CARD) – Chicago–O’Hare, we understand how important it is to know if your child needs speech therapy. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if your child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills such as responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding other people’s body language. If your child has communication delays, speech therapy is a great way to help your child learn effective ways to communicate and grow into more independent and confident individuals. If you are unsure if your child needs speech therapy, our guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy can help you get the answers you need.
