Services
Pediatric physical therapy helps children develop large or gross motor skills and builds muscle strength and flexibility to assist children in moving through their environment with the most efficiency. Physical therapists aid children with developmental milestones such as rolling, sitting, standing, crawling and walking, to name a few.
Communication skills develop in a baby before they have ever spoken their first word. Communication is critical to each of our daily interactions with each other. A speech or language problem is likely to have a significant effect on a child's social and behavioral responses to the world.
Speech therapy focuses on several areas of development including expressive and receptive language, which is language that you can communicate verbally and language that you understand.Our therapists can identify and improve your child's abilities in expressive and receptive language, functional communication skills, and feeding/swallowing issues.

Pediatric pelvic health physical therapy is a specific type of physical therapy for children with challenges related to their pelvic floor muscles, or the muscles that are responsible for pelvic organ support and that assist in bowel and bladder control.
Pediatric pelvic health physical therapy typically involves treatment strategies that produce results from services in as little as 6-8 visits, making this a very effective and relatively short term intervention for children!Pediatric pelvic health physical therapy assists children with bowel and bladder issues by providing:.

Since children learn best from active exploration of their environment, play is necessary for building a healthy foundation of a child's development. As parents, you already use daily attuned interactions and play to teach your children about how the world operates. This allows them to practice such skills as problem solving, logical thinking (cause and effect), and relationship building with you.
Each child's development unfolds at a different pace. We truly understand that your child's growth and development are your priorities and that the "wait and see" suggestion you have received from others may not be the best plan you want to follow. Please visit us and talk to our developmental therapist about any topics of your concern or interest every Friday at no charge.

We had such a wonderful experience with Natalie Berra at Chicago Pediatric Therapy & Wellness center. She saw both of our infant twin sons, and was so amazing with them. She was extremely caring, informative, and patient with the boys and us as we learned the exercises. She always made sure to write out notes and send extremely detailed follow ups, which made it easy for us to continue the exercises at home. The progress our boys made during their time with Natalie was tremendous, and we are so thankful for our experience with her. We could not recommend her more!

Our therapist Natalie has been a very important and intricate part of our child’s mobility. Her expertise, passion, dedication to our family and all the children of the practice is commendable! Thank you Natalie, we would be lost with out you!!!!

I wish I can give CPTWC a million stars. My son has been seeing receiving therapies at this clinic for several years and he’s made leaps of progress. His speech therapist, Heather, is the most incredible ST. She’s patient and incredible at what she does. Ale, my sons behavioral therapist, is equally as incredible. She’s been working with my son and he just adores her. Lauren, our BCBA is the most caring person you could ever meet. She truly cares about each and every child at the clinic. She’s helped me in more ways than I can ever thank her for. The owners Rose and Pat are also the nicest

We LOVE Natalie! She has been my daughter’s PT since my daughter was 4 months old and we have seen such amazing progress! Natalie knows exactly what to do to make kids feel comfortable with her and my daughter loves “playing” with Natalie as a result! I can’t recommend Natalie enough! She’s amazingly thorough and always explains everything to me in great detail!

Rose and Patrick’s clinic has changed our twins lives. They entered the program 1 year ago and both were not communicating and one was recently diagnosed with autism. The positive changes they have made since being enrolled are truly phenomenal. They have taught our child autism how to communicate non-verbally so that she is less frustrated and she is making eye contact regularly now and showing us her gifts in ways we never imagined. They helped our other child develop her verbal skills and now she is communicating above and beyond her milestones. They run to the door to go into school. They

The absolute best place to bring your child for any form of therapy. Our daughter went here for over two years for speech, physical and occupational therapy. They helped us through her diagnosis of Williams Syndrome and provided the tools we needed to excel her abilities. Every therapist she had was patient, kind and knowledgable. We will miss this clinic very much!

Our son was referred for Early intervention at 12 months, with concerns of speech, feeding , and fine motor delays. Front office was able to get us scheduled right away to begin services. Joanna (OT) and Lauren (speech) were amazing therapists to have on his team. By the time he was 2 and started school his teachers were surprised to hear that he had received therapy. At his first parent teacher conference we were so pleased to hear and see all his progress. His teachers note he loves puzzles, coloring, eating all the snacks, & chatting with all his peers. Thank you Lauren and Joanna for all your

The facility is very nice, and Rose is even nicer! She is a family friend of ours who has provided excellent physical therapy for my 1 year old son Austin who was in the hospital for 6 months waiting for his heart transplant. She is very knowledgeable on what kids go through when they have long hospital stays, and encouraged us to understand that his progress is great and that we are doing a great job with him! She has a way with him and he is truly excelling with her as a great guide and teacher.
There is lots of great equipment available at the facility. Rose brought out a really neat flat tire

Our baby goes to Rose 2x per week and she has been the most caring, proactive, compassionate and knowledgeable PT we could have asked for. Our little guy was born almost 10 weeks premature and she has done wonders for him. She always goes above and beyond for not only our baby, but for our family. She’s incredible with kids and she has given us so many tools to help bridge the gap between his adjusted/actual age. We feel so fortunate to work with Rose and would highly recommend her and her team.

I had my son's first birthday party here yesterday, and everything turned out perfectly! Patrick was an amazing help every step of the way, and made sure things went as planned. He was supportive of my very detailed vision for decorating all three rooms available for the party, helped set up and take down decorations, had cake and pizza ready, and played Disney music for the kids throughout the party. As it was a first birthday party, we had only five kids and a bunch of adults attending. However, everything was arranged in such a way that everyone had fun! The gym was a huge hit for our toddlers
