Qualtiy service

by JenMeyers at Citysearch

I found Stepping Stones on the NPN site. Im very happy with our decision. We get more attention here than we did when we interviewed other clinics. Its small, so the quality of service and the attention we get is much better and my therapist is extremely educated on our sons diagnosis. We are very happy here. Also, they are a little bit cheaper than other clinics which is always nice. Only downfall is that we have to drive from Lake Forest, so I wish they were a little closer!

• Pros: Very nice, takes time with you, great with kids,

I just wanted to thank all of my dedicated and wonderful parents for supporting me like they have and continue to do, and as such, I have just opened a therapy clinic! I needed more space and time to fit in clients, so we have moved! We are located at 4866 W. Balmoral in Chicago. Its in Forest Glen in-between the Sauganash and Edgebrook areas, just off 94 at the Foster exit, or Peterson exit if coming from the north. Our website is www.steppingstoneschicago com . We will be serving both the Early Intervention and non-Early Intervention communities! We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield. Stepping Stones will provide free screenings for those of you that are not sure if your kiddo needs therapy. Please visit our website for more information, call us at 773-930-4500, or email info@steppingstoneschicago com

Thanks again everyone for all your support and kind words...

Have not met her yet but she sounds great!

I Got Emilys name from someone at a Physical Therapy clinic in the area. I am an MD at a hospital in the area but decided not to take my daughter there for therapy. I was told Emily was very knowledgeable at treating "Apraxia" Unfortunately, Emily, at this time, has a very long waiting list. She recently started her own company, "Stepping Stones Pediatrics" (I think) and we are set up to see one of the girls she has hired! Emily is going to come and evaluate my daughter, and Im thrilled. I had about an hour long conversation with her and I have not even met her yet (she was very patient with me and my worries). Even though Im an MD, I don't know much about Apraxia, which my 3yr old daughter was diagnosed with so it was nice to hear some encouraging words! Im glad people had commented on her because it made me follow through and call her.....there are not many comments on other speech therapists in the area...not sure why???
