Why Northbrook Families Choose CST Academy for Pediatric Therapy

Most Northbrook families have already compared providers before they contact us. What makes them stay is seeing how fast clinical goals turn into visible progress when every clinician on their child’s team shares the same hallway and the same data.

Pediatric therapy in Northbrook - Welcome Desk

Welcome Area

You will notice your child calms down before their session even starts because they see the same receptionist and follow the same path every visit. That predictability is intentional and it sets the tone for everything that follows.

Pediatric therapy in Northbrook - Therapy Rooms

Therapy Rooms

Nothing in the room is accidental because their clinician prepares the space around what your child is learning that week. Ask to see the session plan and you will see exactly how each piece fits.

Pediatric therapy in Northbrook - Sensory Gym

Sensory Gym

Suspended swings, crash pads, and climbing structures help your child burn off energy and settle into a focused state before their session starts. Every activity in this room connects to a specific goal on your child’s care plan.

Pediatric therapy in Northbrook - Learning Spaces

Learning Spaces

Clinician-led play groups give your child real practice with peers their own age, from taking turns to holding a conversation to navigating disagreements. Every session is designed around skills they will use outside the clinic.

Pediatric Therapy Services at CST Academy in Northbrook, Illinois

At our Northbrook clinic, your child’s therapists share the same building and the same schedule. That means a breakthrough in speech shows up in occupational therapy the same week.

ABA Therapy
Ages 18m to 7y

ABA Therapy

Your child’s board certified behavior analyst builds a program around the specific skills your family wants to see at home, at school, and during play. A dedicated therapist delivers every session, and your BCBA adjusts the plan each week based on what they observe.

Autism Evaluations
Ages 2y to 12y

Autism Evaluations

Our diagnostic team conducts comprehensive evaluations through structured observation, developmental testing, and a thorough parent interview. You receive a detailed report with a clear diagnosis and actionable therapy recommendations.

Therapeutic Preschool

Ages 2y to 6y

Therapeutic Learning Program

Speech-language pathologists guide your child in a structured classroom setting, integrating therapy goals into academic and social activities. Your child builds the focus, self-regulation, and peer interaction skills they need before first grade.

Speech Therapy
Ages 18m to 18y

Speech Therapy

Your child’s speech-language pathologist focuses on the specific communication gaps identified in the original evaluation, from articulation and expressive language to pragmatic and social skills. Progress is tracked session to session and shared with your child’s full team.

Feeding Therapy
Ages 18m to 18y

Feeding Therapy

Our feeding specialists address oral motor delays, sensory-based food aversions, and the anxiety that builds around mealtimes. Our sessions introduce new textures and foods at your child’s own pace so you can notice progress at home too, not just in the clinic.

Occupational Therapy
Ages 18m to 14y

Occupational Therapy

Your child’s occupational therapist helps them master the skills other kids their age handle without thinking, from buttoning a shirt and holding a pencil to staying calm when something feels overwhelming.

Physical Therapy
Ages 18m to 14y

Physical Therapy

Your child’s physical therapist figures out where they stand physically and builds a plan to close the gap, whether that means sitting through a full class, keeping up at recess, or running without tripping.

Seven disciplines, one integrated team, and a Northbrook clinic where clinical data drives every decision.

What Families Say About Pediatric Therapy at
CST Academy in Northbrook

It’s hard to put into words what CST Academy has meant to my son and our whole family over the past 5 years. When we found this magical place when my son was 2.5, we never looked back. Nowhere else will you find a place that has a true multidisciplinary approach in its mission and model. SLPs, OTs, and ABA therapists taught alongside the preschool and pre-k teachers, and his services were intertwined in his schedule seamlessly. His team truly worked together and it took the stress off of me. CST took all of the hard stuff you face on this journey and carried it for us so we could focus on our child.

We attended CST both in Chicago and Northbrook over 8 months and received great care at both locations. Leraaen was my 2.5 year old’s SLP in Northbrook and helped get her to typical vocabulary and speech sounds for her age. She was professional, communicated clearly and did a nice job employing multiple tactics to help my child. I won’t hesitate to go back if our family experiences any speech delays in the future

Leraaen was my daughter’s speech therapist and was truly amazing with her. She was super patient and fun and my daughter took to her quickly. Highly recommended
