When Carol Stream parents call us about speech and language delays, the timing concerns we hear most often are: "He's 18 months old and only has a few words."

Whatever the specific concern, our speech-language pathologists at Noor Pediatric Therapy (well worth the 26 min drive for specialized care) start with a thorough evaluation and build a treatment plan that meets your child where they are.

Frequently Asked Questions — Carol Stream Families

Will my Carol Stream child catch up on their own?

Some "late talkers" do catch up without intervention — but research suggests that waiting beyond age 3 with significant delays often leads to longer-term struggles. We're conservative about recommending therapy when it's truly not needed and clear about recommending it when it is.

My Carol Stream child is bilingual. Is that affecting their speech?

Being bilingual doesn't cause speech or language delay. However, a bilingual evaluation requires specific approaches to differentiate between language difference and language disorder. Our SLPs can guide you through this and recommend specialists if needed.
