Frequently Asked Questions — Downers Grove Families

My Downers Grove child is 2 and only has a few words. Should I be worried?

By 24 months, most children have at least 100 words and are starting to combine two words ("more milk", "go car"). If your child is significantly behind that — and especially if they seem frustrated by their inability to communicate — an evaluation is worthwhile. Earlier support leads to better outcomes.

Does insurance cover speech therapy for delays?

Most BCBS IL PPO and Aetna Commercial plans cover medically necessary speech therapy when there's a documented delay. We help with insurance verification before your first session.
