Chicago Guide: Haircuts

What’s been your experience in getting a haircut for your loved one with specials needs? Where do you get your child’s haircut? Or have you set a routine where you cut your child’s hair?

I ask these questions to see where else in the Chicago area offers haircuts for individuals with special needs. I don’t have a lot listed but still want to share these places with you.

Also, comment with a barber, hairstylist, or salon that should be added to this list.

Chicago Guide: Psychiatrists who see ASD

“Where can I find a psychiatrist who will see patients with autism?” This was a question a parent posted in a Facebook group. Great recommendations were made to this parent and now he/she has a few potential doctors to reach out to, thanks to the members. Below is a list of psychiatrists or offices that have one on staff. A few of these are recommendations from the Facebook group and others are ones I’ve learned of through word of mouth. If you call, ask if they are accepting new patients.
