My brother is autistic and I was wondering if anyone knows any good occupational and speech therapies.?

Question:It would be helpful if these places were near Villa Park, Illinois. It would also help if these places did both occupational and speech therapys. Even if you don't know a place, do u know any good ways to find out this type of information.

Answers:
try to go to arism web sites they might be able to hook you up with an autism group in your area and they will be able to hook you up with help
Easter Seals (in DuPage County), school district, look in local yellow pages.
You should start with the school system. Other resources for information like this would be his doctor and the autism society. Many hospitals offer occupational and speech therapy as well
I would check with the local Autism Society Chapter in Lombard. Since it is ran mainly by parents of childern that have some form of autism, they should be able to recommend good occupational & speech therapists in your area.

The American Speech Language Hearing Association (ASHA), has a "find a professional" link to locate an SLP in your area. Here is the link:

The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), used to have a similar link on their website, but it does not seem to be up there right now, so here is their phone number: 301-652-2682.

Good luck :)
