Autism Services & Clinic

Navigating an autism diagnosis can feel overwhelming—but you’re not alone. At Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley, we offer a caring, inclusive environment where we help every child thrive. Whether you’re seeking answers or support, our multi-disciplinary team is here to guide your family every step of the way.

Overview

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability. We understand that early diagnosis and early intervention can lead to positive outcomes.

Easterseals offers many services for children with ASD. In addition to our core physical, occupational and speech-language therapies, we offer an Autism Diagnostic Clinic and other specialized clinics, assistive technology (AT), inclusive daycare, and support for parents and siblings. With advanced clinical training on services including DIRFloortime, children with ASD will grow relationships with their caregivers and expand their emotional, social and cognitive skills.

We’re here to meet each child where they are and help them grow with confidence.
