Went to BDI Playhouse for lactation support and myofunctional therapy for my 3rd son! Lets just…read moresay, I wish I would have known about this place with my first born! Amy Stumpf is beyond excellent and helped me so much! She went out of her way to get me in for an appt as soon as I was released from the hospital so that I could begin to receive help regarding breast feeding. She was also able to evaluate my son's mouth for ties and walked me through all the oral stretches after those were released. Highly highly recommend.

BDI Playhouse is an amazing environment and resource for a variety of supportive services -…read morespeech/feeding, occupational, and physical therapy. They have created an incredible environment both physically and culturally. My daughter loves coming to speech therapy - an unbelievable feat! Between the gyms full of fun equipment to bounce, swing, climb, and jump on and the toys/games room filled to the brim with so many types of activities, BDI really lives up the "playhouse" in their name. All the therapists incorporate play into their sessions, either switching between exercises and fun, or combining the two! Everyone I've encountered seems to genuinely enjoy their job. When you walk into BDI, there is an upbeat positive feeling throughout- therapists greeting their next appointments as well as saying hello to the other kids they see. The other patients are happy to see their buddies (therapists) too! You can tell that everyone cares deeply about their patients. A wonderful benefit of their multidisciplinary office is the collaboration between therapists and disciplines. If your child needs multiple services, the therapists are in one location and can easily work together, determining the appropriate order and timing for the different services. It is much less coordination for the parent, both from a scheduling perspective and a patient approach. The patient gets better care with less friction. And, if the stars and schedules align, sometimes you can get back to back appointments to minimize visits to the office too! My daughter has worked primarily with Amy for speech therapy, with some physical therapy from Lisa. Amy has a kind welcoming demeanor that was absolutely perfect for my daughter, who takes time to warm up to new people. Amy moves at Viv's pace while still getting through the therapy exercises. She is able to gently reign Viv in when she is being less than cooperative. Amy is realistic about what is and is not feasible for daily homework and keeps it to the most impactful exercises. We love Miss Amy! Lisa is also wonderful, regularly checking in with Viv to see how things feel and making sure nothing hurts. She doesn't dismiss Viv's feelings and reactions, but uses them to guide treatment. There is a level of respect and consideration for the kids that they don't always receive from grownups. I have also gotten to be a patient at BDI for physical therapy, specifically for Craniosacral therapy (CST). I've had long standing challenges around breathing/posture/stress and have spent many years working through these with exercise, speech, physical therapy, and more. Lisa, Andrea, and Cassie at BDI have been an incredibly important part of improving these issues. I have been a tightly wound person my whole life, never good at relaxing. Other than coming out of anesthesia after surgery, I've never truly felt relaxed in my body until a few sessions into CST. I hadn't consciously taken a real, full, deep breath using the correct primary breathing muscles until my CST sessions at BDI. Now that I know what a relaxed state and a full deep breath feel like, I can get much closer to replicating them on my own through home practice. I feel calmer. My posture has improved- my shoulders are less rounded and my rib cage moves a lot more. I'm able to use these improvements in my Pilates practice to make more lasting improvements. The actual sessions are wonderfully relaxing. I highly recommend BDI Playhouse - an exceptional environment providing supportive services to kids and grownups. I'm so glad we found BDI Playhouse!

If I could give KatieBug Therapy a million stars I would. They have been absolutely phenomenal with…read moremy children. I have 7 year old twin boys with sensory processing disorder and texture aversion, which lead to extremely picky eating. Actually, when we started with Miss Michelle and Miss Marie 1 1/2 years ago, one of my boys only had 3 foods that he ate and the other maybe 15. We tried many things to get them to eat different foods, but nothing worked. When they started gagging just from the smell of cooking and from the sight of applesauce, I realized it was a much bigger problem that was going to require professional help. It turns out, along with the SPD and texture aversion, they both have reflux which was diagnosed by Miss Marie and Miss Michelle, then substantiated by an ENT referral and scope. Once they were on Prevacid for about a month, things started to change. With the food chaining techniques, homework, and games, they now have a completely different diet. Last night we had baked chicken, spinach salad, and rice for dinner - and that is what they ate. We can go out to restaurants without bringing their food with us. It has been a truly life changing experience. We have been so happy with KatieBug and would recommend them to anyone needing a SLP, especially kids with feeding issues and picky eating. My boys never cried or were upset with the therapy - they actually looked forward to it and seeing Miss Michelle. We have only one session left and are being discharged and will miss them greatly.

We also have started going back this fall (2022) for intermittent OT support as our son has gotten better, but still benefits from occasional sessions. Our son works with Ms Jillian who is a phenomenal OT. She is kind, funny, warm, and so creative! When she started working with our son, he was starting second grade as a non-writer (but on target with other skills). She quickly figured out he has weak fine motor skills (exacerbated by a previous wrist break at a trampoline park). Honestly, to see his progress over two years later is nothing short of incredible. She makes handwriting fun! Professionally I am actually a speech pathologist and I can tell this is a great private practice clinic. With respect to a previous review mentioning staffing concerns, I would like to share that this is happening everywhere right now (private practices, schools, hospitals, etc). Speech, OT, and PT are in high demand across the Chicagoland area and there are vacancies everywhere (due to shortages in the profession and Covid making those shortages worse). That being said I have not seen or heard of any staffing issues at Step Forward, from the parent perspective. We love it here!

I would advice to completely keep your children away from this place, especially when it comes to…read moretherapies. When we first started, we were happy with our therapy team. Then very quickly, within several months, everyone on our team starting to leave. Our son has Down syndrome so it's important to have him get all three therapies: OT, PT and speech at least once weekly. But we gave them the benefit of the doubt and waited until they filled in the spots. We waited months for a second session per week that was never met because they said their PT wasn't available and unable to fit us in. Well, I just saw that our son's PT was also working the preschool side of their business (which is not a good excuse for being unable to fit us in if they claim to be a therapy clinic). So on top of not having enough therapists for their therapy customers, they have them work the preschool side as well (our original PT had said they worked both, which I'm guessing is a large part of why he left). So this week, our son's "new" OT who had only been there weeks is leaving asap with no heads up with no replacement. This place is disorganized and unprofessional. I've had 2-3 separate people calling or texting me with the same scheduling issues or questions. There is no central manager, and management is non-existent at best. Billing is even worse. Then, because we felt we had to leave because they couldn't meet our son's needs (and this was the third time we were told to wait for a therapist replacement in less than a half year), they sent an email demanding remaining balance due within a week because we were "no longer clients!!" I've never been treated so poorly and unprofessionally by a clinical office ever in my life. That is not how billing should work because they haven't even finished filing claims for therapy services through our insurance. Plus, they never answered my questions on why billing amounts ranged so differently by even over a hundred dollars for the same services. I'm not an expert in billing, but their billing manager Jackie should be fired for treating families so poorly. I even tried to work out a payment system with them when our HSA funds each pay period (so the balance would be paid in a couple of months), to which she replied with a demand that full balance be paid immediately (in 2 days, no less) with full payment due immediately as soon as they process the insurance claims. I have a lot of medical issues, and I even delayed my insulin pump and diabetic supplies and stretch them further to make it a priority to pay their clinic. It's like they act like some loan shark mobster group or something in the way they demand payment. I've never seen a clinic act in such a way. And if it's due to desperation because they are so poorly managed (I don't know why else they would act this way), then that's even more reason to stay away. So if you are looking for a therapy clinic or even a preschool with consistent staff who treat their clients respectfully and professionally, my advice is to run away as fast as possible.

Until very recently, he was only able to be seen (elsewhere) once every 2 weeks for Speech. At the same location, we were waitlisted for three months just for an OT evaluation! Needless to say, that was NOT working for us! My son needs more intensive (weekly!) services. Turning Wheels Therapy came recommended by another professional we saw. The owner, Amy, worked with me to get my son in for both therapies on the same scheduled day, and at a time that luckily worked with our crazy schedule. I am SO appreciative of that!! My son really enjoys his OT with Erin and his Speech with Kelsey. Both have been great with my questions. Erin especially has been great with providing me with resources and information regarding OT-based activities and supports. They are currently remodeling their basement area to better accommodate OT/equipment, and I am excited to see the final results! I am very happy that we found private services that works for us. My son is making great gains already, and that makes life easier for all of us!

We worked with Sarah at Little Steps to assess her and develop a treatment plan, and worked toward clearly identified gross motor milestones before progressing to occupational therapy. The therapists at Little Steps have even coordinated with her school district regarding her IEP. We have both really enjoyed working with the therapists at Little Steps and look forward to coming together each week. My daughter has made so much progress over the past year! PT and OT have improved all facets of her life--beyond improvements in motor skills, her behavior and attention have improved at home and in the classroom. She's more comfortable and has better endurance.

That is 12 courses of medications. After just ONE visit to Dr. Fabbi, a simple food intolerance was unraveled and not a single ear infection has been experienced since that meeting almost 4 years ago. With careful attention to diet, energy levels and outbursts from my child, Dr. Fabbi was able to stabilize his gut, his diet and now his brain growth. The food intolerance tests were fascinating and scary at the same time. I can hear Dr. Fabbi in my ear now, "Mommy, you can do this. You have come so far, helped your son so much, now this next step will help resolve our current issue." She is supportive, focused and incredibly knowledgeable. I cannot thank her enough. As I saw my child repair, I fell into a bit of disrepair. Dr. Fabbi is intuitive and saw some potential stress in my demeanor. Again I can hear, "You do so much as a mom, you need to relax. You NEED to meditate. You need to take care of YOU." Meditation is still not my strong suit, but I know if I listen and learn from her, I will always be well. Dr. Fabbi worked hard with me to remedy my ailments for a good 8 months, continually asking me if I was feeling better. If I felt stronger where I was supposed to. And then, I was there. Thanks to a combination of massage, acupuncture, diet and supplements, I am back! I have recommended so many families with unique allergies, ailments and general health issues to Dr. Fabbi. She is able to remedy so many issues, and these families all thank her. I would not have come this far with my son and myself with my pediatricians. We would still be suffering and not looking to other reasons for our illnesses and allergies. Thank you, Dr. Fabbi!
