Our services
Physical Therapy
Our Physical Therapists specialize in evaluating and treating to improve overall motor functioning, typically gross motor function. This is done by working with children and their families to maximize a child's functional independence so that they can participate in activities in their homes, school and community. Physical Therapy can improve a child's strength, balance, coordination, posture, motor learning, mobility and tone through positioning, developmental activities and play.
Speech Therapy
Our Speech-Language Pathologists work to prevent, assess, diagnose, and treat speech, language, social communication, cognitive-communication, and swallowing disorders in the pediatric population. MPT specialty areas include but are not limited to, Apraxia of Speech, Articulation Delay, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Augmentative/Alternative Communication, Cerebral Palsy, Cleft Lip/Palate, Down Syndrome, Expressive Language Delays/Disorders, Language Processing Disorder, Lip/Tongue Tie, Phonological Disorder, Oral-Motor concerns, Receptive Language Disorders, Selective Mutism, Fluency/ Stuttering concerns and various rare Syndromes.
Hearing Evaluation
Our Audiologists can assess, treat, and rehabilitate hearing disorders. Audiologists are healthcare professionals who provide client-centered care in the prevention, identification, diagnosis, and evidence-based treatment of hearing, balance, and other auditory disorders in children and young adults. Hearing disorders can be complex with medical, psychological, physical, social, educational, and employment implications. We will provide professional and personalized services to minimize the negative impact of these disorders, leading to improved outcomes and quality of life.
Occupational Therapy
Our Occupational Therapists specialize in evaluating and treating fine motor development, sensory processing, self-help skills/daily living skills, and visual/perceptual skills. Occupational therapy helps children to develop the underlying skills necessary for learning and performing specific tasks. Pediatric occupational therapy helps children develop the basic sensory awareness and motor skills needed for motor development, learning and healthy behavior. Occupational therapists not only work directly with the child, but also with the family, parents, caregivers and teachers in order to educate and reinforce specific skills and behaviors which will be used to improve and facilitate the child’s performance and functioning.
Developmental Therapy
Developmental Therapy is provided by credentialed Illinois Early Intervention Specialists for the birth-3 year old population. These services will be provided in your child's natural environment (home, grandparents, daycare). If you are interested in a Developmental Therapy Evaluation we would be glad to make a referral for you to the Illinois Early Intervention System and then one of our Developmental Therapists can assist you with this evaluation and ongoing services if needed.
