School Based Therapy
Imagine Pediatric Therapy partners with private schools, school districts, and cooperatives in multiple neighborhoods in Chicago and the Southwest Suburbs to provide therapy services to students of all ages. Our therapy services benefit the academic and social needs of children through collaboration with teachers and school staff who work hard to care for your child. We can work with children in the individualized, general education, and the special education settings within the school. Our services within the school include both school-based treatment and complimentary screens for children who may benefit from therapeutic services.
If you are a school administrator or a teacher interested in a screening, please call 312-588-5050 or email office@imagepeds.com to set up and get more information.
What is school-based treatment and how can it benefit students?
School-based treatment is skilled, individualized therapeutic services designed to meet your student’s needs within the classroom to support optimal academic learning and social engagement. Therapy within the school offers both convenience for the family and an opportunity for therapists and educators to engage in efficient collaboration and provide your student with holistic services as a team. These sessions are billable to insurance.
At Imagine Pediatric therapy, we offer speech, physical, and occupational therapy services provided both on an individual basis and within the classroom setting depending on your student’s unique needs. Our therapists work with teachers and school staff to establish goals and implement therapeutic strategies tailored to your student’s need within the classroom to promote learning, social participation, and academic growth.
If you think your student can benefit from school-based therapeutic treatment, please contact our office to learn more about how we can help meet your child’s academic and social goals at school!
What are in-school screenings?
Educators who work with children have the opportunity to see their amazing skills and identify their unique needs throughout the day. Early identification of children who could benefit from therapeutic services is an important step in helping them succeed academically and socially. Our therapists offer complimentary screenings within the school setting for students who may benefit from occupational, speech, and/or physical therapy services. If you are a parent or educator who has concerns about a student’s participation within the classroom, please reach out to our office for more information about setting up a therapy screening!
What is a therapy screening?
A screening and consultation with Imagine Pediatric Therapy can help determine if your child is demonstrating age-appropriate skills in various areas of development or would benefit from professional therapeutic intervention. A therapy screening is a 10-15 minute assessment of your child’s language, motor, sensory, and/or social developmental skills. Based on this assessment, our qualified and caring team can provide you with professional recommendations regarding your child’s development and whether they would benefit from a more comprehensive and holistic occupational, speech, and/or physical therapy evaluation.
