Since his evaluation, my son has had 3 different therapists, which no one at the practice informed me of until the day of. It was not communicated who would be his ongoing therapist at any point. I had to ask multiple times who his therapist was. After only a few weeks, his therapist went on medical leave for a month (she is still not back), and there was no one for my son to work with while she was gone. You would think an occupational therapy practice would do the bare minimum and assign someone else to work with their child clients while their therapist was gone. I am a therapist myself and cannot believe how unprofessional they are. So disappointed and angry at how my son has been treated there. Do NOT send your child here.

Heather and Katie have been working with my son for years now and they are amazing. They are fun and sweet and work so hard to make things fun, but also challenge him to his max. Teaching a 4 year old with dyspraxia and hyperlexia how to move his body in a natural way is NOT EASY- and they go above and beyond to keep him happy and engaged (even when he's being a total pain!) He views these kind ladies as his friends and will ask me to text them or send them videos when he jumps extra high one day or is able to hop on one leg. Moreover, they go above and beyond advocating for him- providing me resources, doctors to consult for any concerns that I have. They are a wealth of information! My family members have commented, multiple times, how much more naturally my son moves and his physical progress. They helped me get him to eat vegetables on his own, where before he'd literally have a nervous breakdown at the mere thought of touching a piece of broccoli because of his fear of unpleasant textures. He's finally able to start keeping up with other kids on a playground, and can finally jump on a trampoline after years of being unable to. They're helping him live moments of childhood that should be happy for him and not stressful- and for that, I'm beyond thankful. I can confidently say that at Little Steps I know that my son is not just a number in their list of patients- they truly care about him and will advocate for his absolute best interests.

We absolutely adore Ms. Kaylie Wynn! She is energetic, vibrant, enthusiastic, empathic and…read morecompassionate! I cannot recommend her services highly enough. She makes our family (in particular, our son) feel at ease with her dedication, abilities and skills and the education to back it up! Kaylie takes the time to listen and provides solutions, even accessing other resources and colleagues, when necessary. She develops a personalized treatment plan that addresses my son's specific goals and challenges. She is incredibly knowledgeable about her field and provides clear explanations every step of the way. Ms. Kaylie's encouragement and support is invaluable and we think of her as a member of our family. She truly cares for the well-being of her clients and wants them to succeed in life. I would not hesitate to recommend Ms. Kaylie to anyone in need of pediatric occupational therapy services!

To be clear of my experience: Therapist was outstanding…read more Reason behind my rating: When I had originally enrolled my son to work with this facility my first and most important request was that he would have the ability to work with the same therapist. In receiving services with cps there was a lot inconsistency with services and the therapist was changing frequently. So naturally I thought that if we paid for private services this problem can be avoided. So I searched for a private practice . I was assured that the request for having my child consistently work with the same therapist would be fulfilled. Those assurances gave me peace of mind and with that we enroll our child. Now I'm being informed that my child will no longer be able to work with the same therapist due to policy change. I asked what the out of pocket expense would be to keep my son with the same therapist and was informed that "regrettably" that wasn't an option. Again I re-iterated to the facility prior to enrollment the importance it was for me to have 1 instructor work with my child. And now (a few short months later) my family and I can no longer be accommodated.

We have the pleasure of having Angie as our son's speech therapist. We love Angie. Zev had a…read morespeech therapist for about 5 months before her, and then we got Angie right after he turned 2. At that point he wasn't even saying 10 words, and we weren't sure if he really understood anything we were saying. I remember pretty clearly our second session with Angie where I was tickling Zev. He was clearly enjoying himself and would take my hands to tickle him more. And Angie just told me to wait the next time he wanted to be tickled, and I waited with my hands in tickle position for what seemed to be forever (was probably more like 15 to 20 seconds) and sure enough Zev looks at me and said "tickles". What a moment. Now we are about 8 months later and Zev's 10 word vocabulary is around 200 words. Angie does much more than work with Zev, she works with me. She gives me tips and strategies so I can work with him since I'm the one who spends so much time with him. Not only is she great as far as her knowledge and skill set, but also her caring, professionalism and flexibility. If we've had anything in our schedule come up or a holiday or whatever it is, she's always helped us find a way/time to get each and every session in, that we have never had to miss one. What really impresses me about Chicago Pediatric Therapy Group is that they meet as a team to talk about their kids. Zev had sensory issues that needed to be worked through to get the most out of his therapy sessions. Angie would mention that when they meet at her office, she'll often bring up Zev to an OT and get their thoughts and there is collaboration within their group to think of an all-around approach to each child (I'm assuming it's not just my child).
