Our Therapeutic Process
Our approach to occupational therapy typically involves the following steps:
Comprehensive Evaluation
We begin with a thorough assessment of your child’s current abilities and challenges. This may include observing your child performing various activities conducting standardized tests, and gathering input from parents and caregivers. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to gain a deep understanding of your child’s unique needs and strengths.
Development of Individualized Treatment Plan
Based on the evaluation results, we create a personalized treatment plan outlining specific goals, strategies, and activities tailored to your child’s needs. This plan is designed to address key areas of development, such as motor skills, sensory processing, self-care, and visual perceptual skills.
Engaging Therapy Sessions
We provide therapy sessions that are both fun and effective, incorporating play, structured activities, and evidence-based techniques. Our therapists work with your child in a supportive environment, using creative and engaging methods to help them develop the skills they need to succeed.
Progress Monitoring and Adjustment
We regularly assess your child’s progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed to ensure ongoing success. By continuously monitoring progress, we can make meaningful decisions to enhance the effectiveness of therapy and help your child reach their goals.
Parent Education and Support
Throughout the therapeutic process, we provide parents and caregivers with the tools and knowledge they need to support their child’s development at home. We offer guidance on how to reinforce therapy techniques in daily routines, ensuring that your child’s progress extends beyond the clinic.

Get Started
"I can’t express enough positive things about the wonderful team at CST. The therapist who has worked with my son over the past four years has been a key player in his development and therapeutic journey. They have taught him valuable skills ranging from self-regulation to fine motor tasks and self-care. Additionally, the therapists are prompt, professional, and extremely communicative—always providing feedback and collaborating on solutions for any challenges I present. If I send an email on a Tuesday night, I can expect a response by Wednesday morning. Now that my son is in kindergarten, I attribute much of his independence and success in Chicago Occupational Therapy. Our family will always be grateful for the care and dedication shown throughout this process!"
"The occupational therapists and staff at Chicago Occupational Therapy are remarkable. Our child has experienced significant growth in writing and many other areas since beginning therapy. Teachers have noticed improvements over the summer, and we truly appreciate the dedication and support provided throughout this journey. The therapists are patient, kind, responsive, and supportive, making a meaningful difference in our child's life. Thank you, Chicago Occupational Therapy, for having such exceptional professionals on your team."
