Who could benefit from occupational therapy?
All of our occupational therapists are credentialed by the State of Illinois Early Intervention (EI) Program and specialize in coaching and collaborating with parents and caregivers of children from birth to age three. EI therapy is provided either in-home or at daycare settings. To maintain this credential, our therapists complete a minimum of 30 hours of continuing education (CEUs) focused specifically on Early Intervention.
Please note that Early Intervention sessions must be authorized by the local Child and Family Connections (CFC) office and are separate from in-office private therapy.
