Chicagoland Cochlear Implant Clinic/AVT/Articulation therapy

[Casha'sMommy]

Anyone in the Chicagoland area with CI or a child with CI? I'd love to hear about what hospital you use.

We're also looking for a good AVT/Speech therapist/Articulation therapist for dd.

We will be moving to the area in the next couple of months, dh is already there working at his new job. Meanwhile, I have a TON of things to figure out before we choose an exact area to move to.

TIA ladies!

Thanks for the reply!

I can hardly believe it but we still haven't moved! I'm still looking for people who are in the Chicago area and am interested in hearing about all types of experiences.

Thanks again!

DD is in need of speech articulation, her spoken language is that of a child older than she. She's only having trouble with G and K so cued speech would not be something we're interested in.

Thanks for your suggestion!
