About Six Months to Speech
Six Months to Speech is a small-group coaching program for parents of children with autism, speech delays, sensory challenges and gut issues.It was founded by Chelsea Juels, M.S. in School Psychology and Certified Nutritional Therapist. Chelsea is also a mom of nonverbal autistic twins. When the usual therapies weren't moving the needle, she focused on her boys' gut health, nutrition and detox. In six months they went from no words to more than 100. Six Months to Speech is the step-by-step plan she wishes she'd had at the start.Inside the program, families follow three stages at their own child's pace:- Stage 1: upgrade the foods your child already eats and gently open detox pathways- Stage 2: work through targeted detoxes in the right order- Stage 3: rebuild the gut and nourish the brain with whole foodsParents get live group coaching calls every week with our coaches, program-wide calls with Chelsea, mindset support from a licensed therapist, and a private community of more than 100 families who understand exactly what you're going through.We work alongside your child's existing therapies and care team, not instead of them. Every child is different, and we meet each family where they are.Learn more at sixmonthstospeech.com.

Jacob has started brushing his teeth and we are proudly doing it every morning. Before he would just refuse and I could not even recall when he brushed his teeth last time without resistance or screaming. We are one month into this program and I already see so many positive changes. He eats more different types of food now and just more calmer overall with less aggression and less meltdowns.

Thank you so much, Anna. Hearing that Jacob is brushing his teeth every morning without resistance just made my day. One month in is such a great milestone, and I am so glad you are seeing these positive changes. - Chelsea

Vital program for Child with Autism
This program has been an absolute miracle in our lives. My boys were seven and five when we started this program. Both of my boys were diagnosed with level three autism at age 2. My seven-year-old was nonverbal, dis regulated and not making any progress. In fact, I would get reports daily from school about him not cooperating and his behavior. He was unhappy and disconnected. James, my five year-old had words, but could not communicate at all and only had echolalia. James was not make any progress on his IEP goals. We were in a store with my two boys and a lady told us she would pray for them to the “saint of loss causes.” I realized I had to do something to help them, and this cannot be their life. I reached out to Chelsea and her team and was even hesitant to start. We have been in the program now almost 7 months. There have been so many changes. I don’t know how to list them all. My boys sleep through the night, they no longer have constipation issues,my five-year-old is conversational, my now eight-year-old has over 26 words that he says on his own and could not say anything before. My eight year-old develops new words each week. I no longer get bad reports from school anymore, my boys are able to travel on airplanes with no issue, are no longer eloping, they have woken up and understand everything we’re saying to them. Our friends, family, and neighbors have all asked what we are doing because they have all noticed how much the boys have changed and are in complete shock of what this program has done for us. This program has been the best thing that’s ever happened to us and it just continues to get better. I love Chelsea and her entire team, they have been supportive and wanted to see us succeed. I would recommend this to anybody with a child with autism or even just behavioral concerns. Our lives have completely changed for the better. We recently saw a Doctor Who told me that my boys are not level three autism, in fact, they are high functioning. This is something I never expected to hear and we would not be here without 6 months to speech.

I love this program!
I love this community everyone is so welcoming! and let not get started on the coaches! They are amazing they are always helpful and never make you feel like your bugging them. I have had break throughs with my son during this program that i didn't think were possible for example eating zucchini noodles in his spaghetti! This program has helped us with his behaviors as well!

Thank you so much, Jocelyne. It is wonderful to hear how welcoming the community and coaches have been for you. Seeing those fun wins, like getting him to eat zucchini noodles in his spaghetti, is just the best. - Chelsea

We are so happy with the program so…
We are so happy with the program so far. We’re still only in the early stages, but the changes we’ve already seen in our boy have been incredible. He has struggled with severe constipation for the past two years, at times going up to two weeks without a bowel movement, and he is now going regularly. It feels like such a huge shift for him. At the same time, we’re seeing beautiful changes in his development too, it feels like a fog is starting to lift. He’s more present and engaged, giving us more eye contact, connecting with us more, and even starting to attempt words. It’s been so encouraging to see these changes already, and we’re really excited to see what’s still to come.

Teagan, thank you so much for sharing this. It's so early and you're already seeing him more present and connected. I love that for your family. We're so excited to see what's still to come for Obi. - Chelsea

Gut Healing WORKS!
Six months to Speech has changed our life. When I first joined I had no idea about gut healing, I just wanted to help my little girl, Lana. Since joining, my daughter now has direct eye contact, is calmer, more willing to be around others and follows small directions. Although she is still non-verbal, she communicates through her iPad and understands everything! We still have a long journey ahead but we have still seen so many wins! An example recently of her improvement since joining this program: I had an appointment for my dog at a new vet hospital. Usually I have someone sit in the car with the kids so I don’t have to worry about my daughter running around everywhere but today I had to bring them with me! To my surprise, Lana patiently sat on the bench while I was at the check in counter! She didn’t try to run away or bump into the walls! She did incredible. 🥲 we’ve been running a lot of errands this week so we’ve been in the car a lot, after we got home from the vet appointment Lana took her shoes off and HID THEM UNDER THE COUCH. I was cackling, she was hiding her shoes so we wouldn’t go out again!
Without this program, Chelsea, & her team, I don’t know where my little girl would be today! I am so thankful! 🥹

Gina, thank you so much for writing this. Lana sitting on that bench at the vet, and then hiding her shoes so you couldn't go out again, made my day. Those everyday moments are the wins that matter. I'm so glad you're here and I'm cheering for you both. - Chelsea

Six months to speech journey
2 months and 9 days ago, we started this program, and at that time, my son was only drinking PediaSure.
Today, I look at how far he has come, and I’m so incredibly proud. ❤️ He is now eating spaghetti, loving his homemade chickpea cookies, eating cereal, and slowly becoming more comfortable with different foods.
We still have a long way to go, but I know that one day we will get there. I’m holding onto hope, celebrating every little victory, and reminding myself that progress takes time. 🙏❤️
This journey would not be the same without the incredible coaches and leaders who continue to guide, encourage, and support us every step of the way. We are truly grateful to have such amazing people beside us.
This is only the beginning. One day at a time, one step at a time. And when we look back, I know we will see just how far we’ve come. ❤️

Alison, thank you for sharing this. Two months ago it was only PediaSure, and now it's spaghetti and homemade chickpea cookies. That's a huge deal, and you did the hard work. One day at a time is exactly right. I'm so glad to be on this journey with you. - Chelsea

Power of eating clean🤯✨️
My son has diagnosed with level 3, autism, he is nonverbal. A little over three months into this program now, his eye contact and respond to his name is so much better and he actually started saying colors!!!
Reply from Six Months to SpeechOct 6, 2026
Miwa, thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Better eye contact, answering to his name, and now saying colors are big steps, and I love watching Kai's progress in the group. I'm so grateful you're with us. - Chelsea

Beyond Grateful
This program gave me more than just nutrition and a detox path. I was beyond depressed at the point that I found this program after my 2 year old daughter's diagnosis of level 2 autism when I was taught that nutrition comes in so many different forms. The one on one conversations I got to have along with the group environment, made me feel less alone and was beyond what I needed. My daughter was gluten and dairy free. I thought that that was enough, and it did calm so many things, but I was missing a large piece of the puzzle. The steps that came with this program, literally eliminated all of her yeast bacteria and completely filled her gut with all the benefits of every nutrient and good bacterias. I have now seen an extensive amount of doctors and done various bloodwork/tests which has showed me that my daughter at almost 4 years old now is probably the healthiest human being on the planet with the most balanced gut. I still detox my daughter through the program methods every six months to keep her balanced and on track and will never stray from her diet. My daughter went from waking up in the middle of the night, unable to focus on anything to now fully understanding everything I say, never wakes in the night, has regular bowel movements and went from distressed/crying all the time to happy. My daughter is able to say words and connect the dots that she was just not able to understand/see prior. This program has completely changed the way I feed my two older children as well who are not autistic. My whole house has benefited from the education I have received regarding food. I thought I knew, but you really become a natural at reading labels, avoiding extras, and just start making everything at home because it is healthier and tastes better without the stress. It is a complete way of life now for us over a year and a half later and I could not be more grateful. My daughter improves every single day and this was the best decision I've made for her to date and I will never go back.
