I have a middle schooler with a slight lisp ("s" and "z" sounds). Otherwise, he is a good student, and the teachers can understand him...so it was never addressed in school. I was under the (mistaken) impression that he would outgrow it. I would like to find a speech therapist in the area to get him some help over the summer (and beyond if necessary). I am thinking of a private therapist, but am open to all options. Any recommendations would be great.

*edited to clarify that I put this under District 41 because it is a school-age issue, but am really just looking for a private recommendation.thanks!

DuPage Easter Seals - on Addison Street in Lombard.

It is a bit of a trip when you find yourself rushing between meetings, but it's hard to find better trained and more caring group of professionals.

I am a school based speech pathologist. I might be able to work something out with you.
My rates would be more reasonable than Easter Seals or a private practice.

Thank you side of FRYs for your input. I really appreciate it. At this point, I would like to try the private speech therapist route.

Mrsspeechlady, I would be very interested in talking to you about working with my son. (In fact, I had sent you a private message before posting this, but I don't think you saw it.) I will send a new one to you with my email address.

I did not see the private message...I will look for it

Communications Clubhouse just off Findley, right behind that shop center where ToysRUs and Best Buy are located... excellent and great staff.
