Easterseals Serving Chicagoland & Rockford

At Easterseals Serving Chicagoland & Rockford, we understand that it can be hard to know if your child needs speech therapy. If your child has been diagnosed with autism, speech therapy is almost always recommended. Even if your child is very verbal, they may still 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. Speech therapy is an important part of early intervention for autistic children and is a great way to ensure your child is learning language and communication skills as early as possible. Signs that your child may need speech therapy could be if they are very quiet, say only a few words, or don’t speak at all. For further information on speech therapy, Easterseals Serving Chicagoland & Rockford has created a guide to help you understand how to best support your child and their communication needs.
