Child Services
Speech & Language Therapy is offered for all speech and language delays. We specialize in children ages birth to three. Sessions place an emphasis on teaching parents and other family members how to work with their children at home between sessions. This maximizes the progress and helps the child reach their potential quickly. We are an Early Intervention of IL provider and bill insurance for services. In the event that insurance will not pay for therapy, all major credit cards are accepted. Please contact us for details or to schedule a class.
Child Speech & Language Therapy Services
Early Intervention
Speech and language services for children 0-3 years old address a range of communication difficulties and disabilities. Children and caregivers are seen together in natural environments.
We are a State of Illinois Provider. Please see the Illinois Child and Family Connections web site for more information.
Autism
Communication and pragmatic skills are addressed through a variety of means: the development of a communication system, social story use, scripting, modeling, etc.
Articulation
Mispronunciations of individual sounds are addressed. Articulation errors may include a lisp or difficulty saying the “r” sound.
Phonology
Sound system pattern errors are seen which greatly impact the child’s overall intelligibility. Omissions, deletions, and substitutions of sounds are commonly corrected.
Developmental Apraxia
Services focus on the motor system of speech. Exercises and a developmental approach to intervention are hallmarks of this service.
Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS — www.pecs.com )
This system takes non-verbal children through a number of steps to teach initiation of communication. Children quickly learn and carryover skills into life activities allowing them to have their needs and wants met.
