North Shore Pediatric Therapy- Evanston

At North Shore Pediatric Therapy in Evanston, we understand how important it is to know if your child needs speech therapy. We want to help you understand the signs that may indicate your child needs speech therapy, as well as the benefits of early intervention. Speech therapy can help kids with autism acquire communication skills, like responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing topics, using gestures, and understanding other people’s body language. Early intervention is key when it comes to language development, and speech therapy can help your child become more independent and confident. If your child is very quiet, says only a few words, or doesn’t speak at all, it may be time to consider speech therapy. At North Shore Pediatric Therapy, we have the resources and expertise to help you determine if speech therapy is the right fit for your child. Explore our comprehensive guide to learn more about speech therapy and how it can benefit your child.
