Easterseals Joliet Region, Inc., Residential and Social Services, Joliet

At Easterseals Joliet Region, Inc., Residential and Social Services, we understand that it can be difficult to know if your child needs speech therapy. We offer a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about speech therapy that can help you determine if it’s the right path for your child. 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, and understanding other people’s body language. It’s important to teach language and communication skills as early as possible, especially if there are any delays in that area, so your child can learn effective ways to communicate and grow into more independent and confident individuals. If you’re unsure if your child needs speech therapy, our guide can help you make the decision. Contact us at Easterseals Joliet Region to learn more about how speech therapy can help your child.
