Who We Are
Building Block Pediatric Therapies was started in 2014 with the idea of providing child centered therapy and supporting families through education and home programming. We began Building Block Therapies with three therapists and have continued to grow exponentially each year to help more kids meet their therapy goals. We are a multi-disciplinary practice and provide speech, occupational and physical therapy in naturalistic, play based settings which allows for optimum learning and carryover of skills. We use specialized treatment approaches to accommodate the individual needs of each child and family. Our clinic specializes in treating children ages 0-14 years of age with phonological, receptive, expressive and pragmatic language disorders, stuttering and voice disorders, feeding therapy, fine motor and sensory integration disorders and gross motor disorders. Our clinicians are highly experienced and strive to provide the best quality of services to meet every child’s needs. Our mission is to create a partnership with parents to create an effective treatment plan for every child and family. We look forward to providing services to help families and their children reach their greatest potential. Building Block Pediatric Therapies provides a comfortable and stimulating environment for both the individual child and the family.
All of our therapists are experienced and are licensed by the state of Illinois as well as having a multitude of certifications that will contribute to developing the best individualized treatment plans to help each child reach their full potential. All of our therapist have earned their degrees in their specialized field of therapy. In our practice, every therapist has between 10-20+ years of experience in their specialized field of pediatric therapy. All of our therapists also participate in continuing education to further their knowledge and skills and to provide the most current therapeutic techniques as each field of therapy is constantly evolving.
Our clinic has been highly recommended and referred by many pediatricians throughout the northern suburbs.
Our Mission & Values
Our mission is to provide a child and their family a centered approach which involves working and communicating with families to find the best treatment plan possible for the child while in the therapy session as well as in the home. It is our belief that for a child to get the most out of therapy and meet their goals, it is essential to work closely with everyone involved in the child’s life. Our therapists use all of the resources available to them to help each child reach their full potential. These resources include; continuing education courses/classes, a multidisciplinary approach, utilizing other therapists in the clinic, and evidence based treatment. These resources are beneficial because they ensure that each child gets the most comprehensive and up to date treatment and care.
Types of Therapies
At Building Block Pediatric Therapies, we offer a multitude of pediatric therapies including; speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and feeding therapy. We also currently offer teletherapy as an alternative to traditional treatment for any child or family that requires a virtual option.
All therapies can include structured activities as well as play based opportunities and provide treatments that aid in generalizing target goals into real life activities.
Our clinic offers free screenings for all therapies. After each screening the therapist will determine if further evaluation is needed. If an evaluation is needed, therapists will discuss evaluation results and goals will be developed to meet a child’s needs.
If your child needs more than one therapy, we try to offer back to back sessions or co-treatment with two therapists to help meet the child’s needs as well as the family’s schedule.
