About Rebecca Erickson

Rebecca Erickson is a mother, researcher, and founder focused on helping families better understand the biology behind speech, behavior, and nervous system challenges.

Rebecca and her husband, Paul, have three children. Both of their sons were diagnosed with autism: their older son with Level 3 autism, their younger son with Level 2. Both boys began speaking at four, and by five they were speaking fluently. Their daughter is neurotypical.

Rebecca started researching because she wanted to understand her children. Over years of reading studies, talking with doctors, and watching her boys closely, she came to see speech as a messenger: a signal that something deeper in the nervous system needed attention. That understanding became the Biological Order of Repair™ and the Core Support Plan™, and it became Why Isn’t My Child Talking?

In her own words

From “The Person Behind These Pages,” at the back of the book

Before you close this book, I thought I would tell you a little about me.

I’m Rebecca.

I’m a wife and a mom, and I homeschool my children. Our house is rarely quiet.

I started researching because I wanted to understand my children. I am curious by nature and have a hard time accepting “that’s just the way it is” when I do not understand why.

I am happiest around nature. I love painting landscapes, tending to my flowers, walking trails through the woods, and writing while hummingbirds visit the flowers outside my window.

I love Christmas crafting and curling up with Paul for a lighthearted mystery series.

Supporting other families has become an important part of my life. I lead a local group for moms raising children with special needs, where we eat dinner, talk, and laugh together.

I know what it is like to read late at night, trying to make sense of scientific language and think, Can someone please just tell me what this means for my child?

I wanted to write for that parent. Maybe that parent is you.

I will probably always be the person who asks one more question. I’m glad I did, because one more question changed our family’s story.
