How we do it
At Chicagoland Theraplay, we know that the best therapy doesn’t happen in a clinic — it happens where your child feels most comfortable, safe, and seen. That’s why we bring therapy to your doorstep, meeting your child in their real-world environment with a heart-centered, customized approach. Every session is designed to be fun, functional, and focused on helping your child thrive — whether we’re building motor skills, boosting confidence, or creating calm in the chaos. Here's how we make that happen:
Child-Led & Customized Care
At Chicagoland Theraplay, we recognize that no two children are the same — and that’s exactly how we approach therapy. Each session is thoughtfully tailored to your child’s unique strengths, needs, interests, and developmental goals. We collaborate closely with parents and caregivers, because your insight and involvement are essential to progress. Whether we’re working on fine motor skills, sensory regulation, or daily routines, your child’s voice and preferences are always at the center of our care.
Play-Based, Real-World Learning
Children learn best when they’re engaged, curious, and having fun! That’s why our sessions are rooted in purposeful play. From obstacle courses to crafts and sensory bins, we turn everyday tasks into opportunities for learning and growth. Play helps children build real-world skills — like dressing, writing, or following directions — in ways that feel natural and joyful, not forced.
Goal-Oriented with Everyday Function in Mind
We believe that occupational therapy should make a difference in your child’s everyday life. Our goals are practical, measurable, and focused on helping your child become more confident and independent — whether it’s buttoning a coat, improving handwriting, managing big feelings, or participating more fully in school or home routines. We celebrate every win, big or small, and adjust goals as your child grows.

Patient stories


Such excellent care and treatment. Especially from the orthodontic staff. Would never go anywhere else for my teeth.

Everyone at the clinic was so kind and compassionate. I really appreciate the fact that they took the time to answer my questions, never losing their patience.
