Signs to Watch For

If you're noticing some of these in your child, an evaluation can help clarify what's going on.

Sensory sensitivities or sensory-seeking behaviors that affect daily life
Communication that's different from peers — late talking, scripted language, or social communication challenges
Strong preferences for routine and difficulty with transitions
Repetitive movements (hand flapping, rocking, spinning) that may be helpful for regulation
Intense interests that consume attention and conversation
Differences in how your child plays, makes friends, or interacts with adults

Our Autism Spectrum Approach for Wood Dale Families

Sensory Regulation

Helping your child build awareness of their sensory needs and tools to self-regulate in different environments.

Communication Support

Speech therapy that respects your child's communication style — verbal, AAC, or hybrid — and builds capacity in whatever direction makes sense.

Motor & Body Awareness

Coordination, motor planning, and body awareness that affect everything from playground confidence to handwriting.

Daily Living Skills

Self-feeding, dressing, toileting, sleeping — the foundational independence skills that build confidence.

Family Coaching

Strategies for parents and caregivers to support regulation, communication, and connection at home.

School Coordination

Collaboration with IEP teams, teachers, and school-based therapists to align goals across environments.

Frequently Asked Questions — Wood Dale Families

Will my insurance cover therapy for autism?

Illinois has strong autism coverage mandates. Most BCBS IL PPO and Aetna Commercial plans cover OT and speech therapy for autistic children. We help you verify benefits before starting and provide everything you need for insurance authorization.

My Wood Dale child was just diagnosed with autism. What now?

First — take a breath. A diagnosis doesn't change who your child is, but it does open doors to support. We recommend starting with a comprehensive OT and/or speech evaluation to identify your child's specific needs. From there, we build a plan that honors their strengths and addresses their challenges. There's no rush; right care matters more than fast care.
