Frequently Asked Questions — Des Plaines Families

What's the difference between speech therapy at school and private speech therapy?

School-based speech focuses on academic impact and is often delivered in small groups. Private speech therapy is 1:1 and broader — we can address articulation, language, fluency, social communication, AAC, and feeding, all tailored to your child specifically. Many families use both: school for academic support, private for deeper work.

Do you offer feeding therapy?

Yes — we address oral motor skills that affect both speech and feeding. If your child has picky eating tied to oral-motor concerns, difficulty managing certain textures, or coordination challenges with chewing and swallowing, our SLPs can help.

My Des Plaines child stutters. Can speech therapy help?

Yes. Stuttering responds well to therapy, particularly when started early. Our SLPs use evidence-based approaches that reduce tension, build communication confidence, and give your child specific tools for moments of disfluency. Many children who stutter benefit dramatically from focused, supportive therapy.

My child has autism. Can you help with their communication?

Yes. We work with many autistic children — supporting expressive and receptive language, social communication, AAC implementation, and (for those who use spoken language) articulation and fluency. We meet your child where they are and build on their natural communication style.
