Frequently Asked Questions — Des Plaines Families

How is your OT different from clinics like Ivy Rehab or NSPT?

We're a small, specialized practice — not a large multi-location agency. Your child works with the same therapist every visit, our therapists have deeper training in reflex integration and nervous system approaches, and we keep our caseloads manageable so every family gets real attention. We're not the right fit for everyone, but families who want continuity and specialized care often choose us.

What's the difference between OT at school and private OT?

School-based OT focuses on supporting your child's access to the curriculum — typically in short, group-based sessions. Private OT (like ours) is more comprehensive, addressing underlying foundations like sensory processing and reflex integration that school OT often can't cover. Many families find that private OT and school OT complement each other.

What ages do you treat?

Our occupational therapists work with children from infancy through young adulthood. Different developmental stages benefit from different approaches — early intervention focuses on motor milestones and sensory foundations; school-age OT often emphasizes handwriting, attention, and self-care; adolescents may focus on executive functioning and life skills.

How long does pediatric occupational therapy take to show results?

Every child is different, but most families notice meaningful changes within 3–6 months of consistent therapy. Some skills (like sensory regulation strategies) can show quick wins in weeks; deeper foundational changes (like reflex integration outcomes) take longer. We track progress carefully and adjust the plan as your child grows.
