Westside Children's Therapy | Glen Ellyn

At Westside Children’s Therapy in Glen Ellyn, we understand your concerns when it comes to deciding if your child needs speech therapy. It is almost always recommended for autistic children, as they often have difficulty with social communication. Speech therapy focuses on teaching language and communication skills, helping children grow into more independent and confident individuals. Signs that a child may need help include being very quiet, saying only a few words, or not speaking at all. To learn more about speech therapy, read our comprehensive guide. Westside Children’s Therapy can help you determine if your child needs speech therapy and provide the necessary resources to help them succeed.
