Chicago Pediatric Therapy & Wellness Center, LLC

At Chicago Pediatric Therapy & Wellness Center, LLC, we understand that knowing if your child needs speech therapy can be difficult. If your child is autistic, it can be especially hard to tell if they need speech therapy. Speech therapy is almost always recommended for autistic children since many people with autism have difficulty with social communication. Even if a child is very verbal and says a lot of words, they might need to work on communication skills like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, using gestures like pointing, and understanding other people’s body language. Speech therapy is a big focus in early intervention for autistic children and is usually the starting place for recently diagnosed kids. This is because there is a critical period in the brain for language development and it’s important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, especially if there are any delays in that area. With the help of our team at Chicago Pediatric Therapy & Wellness Center, LLC, your child can learn effective ways to communicate and grow into more independent and confident individuals. If your child struggles with speaking – they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all – please read our complete guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy.
