Specialty Clinics

Many pediatric medical specialists partner with Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley therapists to provide specialized clinics, including an autism clinic and medical diagnostic clinic as well as clinics for feeding, respiratory and ambulatory needs. These clinics provide specific and individual care to best suit your child's needs outside of their normal therapy schedule. We take a multi-disciplinary approach to suit each child's individualized needs.

New: Medical Procedure Support Service

This service can support all types of medical appointments including surgeries, dental exams, vaccinations and other procedures that can cause anxiety for a child and their caregiver.

Our licensed clinical social worker will help reduce worries, discomfort, and share recommended accommodations before the appointment with sessions including a caregiver evaluation, two pre-procedure play therapy sessions, and a post-procedure processing session.

Through books, art, and exposure to medical equipment in a playful therapy environment, we help work through the history of medical trauma, any heightened emotions or emotional distress, and empower the family for a successful medical experience.

To get started, please contact Michele Tabachka at mtabachka@eastersealsdfvr.org or 630.282.2023.
