ADHD Therapy & Support for Des Plaines Children
Occupational therapy and speech therapy for children with ADHD — addressing the sensory, regulation, and executive function foundations beneath the diagnosis. Serving Des Plaines.
If you're a Des Plaines parent of a child with ADHD, you've probably tried a lot. Behavior charts, sticker systems, "just try harder" reminders — and you know they don't work because the issue isn't motivation. ADHD affects sensory processing, regulation, planning, and impulse control at a neurological level. Our occupational therapy approach (well worth the 25 min drive for specialized care) targets the foundations: sensory integration, reflex integration, executive function strategies, and emotional regulation.
