My son has attended a…read moregroup therapy session each week, some weeks 2x per week for 75 minutes that is run by a speech and occupational therapist for over 2 years now. So organized, always creative, lively, fun and interactive sessions. I have not found anything like it in all of Chicago and it is affordable, always a consideration when choosing therapies for a kiddo in need. They accept and bill insurance companies and are always easy to work with in every aspect. Very responsive to emails and questions which is so important especially when you as the parent might not know what might be going on or who to turn to with questions. I always appreciate that any request I have or concern to address, they help find a solution, have an idea or give a suggestion. They truly care about kids and try to help in any way they can. I have another child too and love that I am always able to bring him and comfortably wait in the waiting room without issue. I also kind of found it to be a nice place to meet other moms to talk things out when wanted or needed. we all need support! LOVE All Bright Therapies!!! If you are in need of a speech, or occupational therapist, please give them a call!!! What a great business!!!

My little guy has been attending Blue Bird Day - Northcenter since late April 2018. Prior to that,…read morehe had been receiving in-home Early Intervention services and just before his 3rd birthday he was formally diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The news was hard to digest, and my heart hurt. I really knew nothing about Autism, I didn't know where to start. With his Early Intervention services stopping, it became my mission to act fast and find my son the BEST possible help I could find him. That's when we found Blue Bird Day. Right from the start, I knew this was the place for my son. From the very first phone call, to the site visit & tour, to meeting the staff, bringing my son in for evaluation...every step of the way the entire staff was so helpful, caring and knowledgeable. I knew my little guy would be in good hands and I truly believed he'd be getting THE BEST help I could find for him. Aside from the 4-hour school day, he also receives individualized/intensive therapy. In just a little over 7 months he has already made so much progress! He's socializing, vocalizing more, communicating his needs in various ways including signing...he is just thriving! Every teacher, assistant and therapist at BBD is amazing...they truly care about my son and are just as excited as I am every time he accomplishes something new or meets a goal. I am so thankful that I found Blue Bird Day & to be part of the Blue Bird family. I don't know where we'd be without them!

My daughter has been with BBD North Center for 3 years, enrolled pretty early on as a 2 year old…read more She has ASD, GDD, feeding difficulties and ADHD. They came highly recommended by OTs from EI and from colleagues at UIH. So far my daughter has had astronomical leaps in communication, social emotional skills, self regulation, and academic (kindergarten) skills. She still has a lot of things to work on but the team has been amazing. I want to specially shout out Salena, the BEST BCBA ever. She sets aside an hour bi weekly to talk to me about my daughter's progress, my future goals and priorities, and sometimes acts as a parent therapist to help me manage my own expectations and anxieties. For a long time, my daughter would not enter public bathrooms. This is something we've been working on for years. Since Salena has taken over her case, my daughter now goes inside Starbucks and Trader Joes and even washes her hands! This has been the MOST progress she's had on this front. My daughter is also very attached and affectionate towards Salena, which is a testament to her skills and genuine care.

Blue bird family,…read more The Henry family and the Blue Bird day school started a relationship almost an year now. To be honest we didn't know what to expect when we decided to begin with Carters development at Blue bird. Ms Taylor and her wonderful team put our mind at ease from the first interaction. We have seen tremendous growth in Carter since we started. Carter wakes up every morning Eager to get out of the house for school. On Saturday and Sundays when there is no school Carter still gets his clothes and book bags and points to the door. We all know what that gesture means. Carter loves Blue Bird. As we look to the future we love Blue Bird Targeted program and should be offered all over the country. Our family is forever grateful to Blue for treating Carter like there own Son. We believe Carter was put on this earth to do something great and we are so excited for his continual growth with Blue Bird. Thanks you, Taylor , Jocelyn, Louisa, Sindu, Amber,Grace,Abby, Carolyn,Megan,Sally, The Henry Family.

I know that her speech therapy has improved so much with the help of Pooja (Speech therapy), Janette (Occupational therapy), Mariel (Social Work), and Helen and her crew for Applied Behavioral Therapy (ABA). She is now answering back and using sign language and following directions, which were my biggest concerns. She is now potty trained, which they are so helpful with and continuing to be. She is a shining example of the hard work and support that Blue Bird Day gives to families.

Michelle and Tanya are easy to work with and passionate about working with your child geared to…read moretheir needs. Always on time and interested in your child's life and activities. Also they are in-network for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois making private speech pathology within reach for all. Even if your child did not qualify for Early Intervention -Chicago Speech Spot can evaluate your child and increase their speech, vocabulary and understanding - sending them to a place where they can use words rather than being physical or crying to express themselves. My child is now speaking in 4 word sentences -The results are amazing. We have fewer tantrums because he can talk now! Secondly they also put on a "Talking Tots class' where they are working with your child in a play group atmosphere and teaching your child the right words bridging communication between children and teachers. Absolutely Awesome and at a bargain price of $25 a class! Can't get any better than that to have the attention of 2 trained professionals to work with your child's speech skills among their peers!

I am a speech-language pathologist who has worked for this company in the recent past and was not impressed by the management or clinic set-up. If you are looking for a therapy clinic to bring your child and you live nearby, then it's not a bad place to go. However, if you are contemplating this pediatric clinic versus another one...I would recommend that you really take the time to ask questions, view the facilities, and make an educated decision on which place to enroll your child. The clinic is nice and big, and it includes a large gym, small gym, and individual therapy rooms. They offer physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy services to the pediatric population.

We had a fantastic experience with Suzanne. She was knowledgeable, encouraging, considerate, and…read morefantastic with the baby. She helped our baby over a handful of appointments (~2 months, every couple weeks) to tackle torticolis, which was so successful that we were able to avoid having to do any baby helmet treatment (usually ~$2000 because it's typically not covered by insurance since it's considered cosmetic). Our baby had a flat spot on the side of her head early on, so with the recommendation by her pediatrician we went for a helmet consultation relatively early around 3 months. They said treatment couldn't start until baby had sufficient neck control and the treatment would likely need to be combined with PT. To get ahead and because we really didn't want to do the helmet if possible, we pursued PT as soon as we could. It was impossible to find anyone in our insurance network and everyone we looked into had rates that were about the same. My own PT for postpartum recovery and other locals highly recommended Kids on the Grow, so we went with them! They also came to our place for all of the appointments, which was extremely helpful as sleep deprived first time parents. With baby PT you need to be involved and do "homework" with your baby in between appointments, but they make it really fun and it's wonderful to see the progress!! Initially we did have some issues contacting their office because they didn't get any of our emails or phone calls. My own PT had to help connect us via email. Otherwise, once we got a hold of them the staff who we also communicated with were very good. All paperwork was done digitally, which was super convenient.

We started coming…read morewhen our youngest was an infant, she had some delays due to being cord wrapped in utero, and Karen has been wonderful with her, dealing with the eventual emotional delays and really teaching us how to help her regulate. Karen has given us a lot of support with parent calls, articles and tips for us to help her. We eventually needed to bring our oldest because she was having difficulties with her emotions and being able to regulate. We work with Katie, who has also been wonderful and the key to our child's progress has been regular parent meetings with Katie. I found I had to work just as hard on myself and understanding my reactions. This was fundamental to helping my child progress. Katie has really pushed me in a good way and has also been supportive with podcasts, articles and goals. If you are looking for some place to be passive and hope your child improves, this is not the place for you. If you are willing to get in there and play with your kid and get a deeper understanding of his/her struggles to boost yours and your kids emotional intelligence - this is the place. They are really good about helping you with insurance as much as they can. The physical environment is like no other clinic, it is much more like a home and less like a clinical space.

It is also a tremendous resource, support and relief for parents…read more We were skeptical in the beginning as we did not believe that a play-based method that is fun, actually works. Three years later, our kids - almost 8 and 4.5-year-old- are so much better off with AZ&A than without. AZ&A has helped us get to know our kids and ourselves as parents as well as it has been one of the most impactful support systems in our family life. The leaders and the counselors are beyond amazing and feel a part of our family. I am forever grateful to the wonderful spirit who introduce me to AZ&A and said, "there is a better way", try AZA - the hidden gem of Lincoln Park for kids and parents. We plan to continue for as long as we can.
