Intimate class sizes and various spaces for activities

Our clinic has several rooms devoted to the Chicago Therapeutic Preschool, including a sensory gym, allowing our children to regulate their bodies before challenging themselves with academic tasks. Our class size is designed for intimate instruction – up to six students – however, we also offer separate, private rooms to build on individual therapy sessions in a more private setting.
