When Wheaton 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." "She's 3 and people can't understand her." "He's 4 and not putting sentences together yet." Whatever the specific concern, our speech-language pathologists at Noor Pediatric Therapy (well worth the 32 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 — Wheaton Families

My Wheaton 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.
