Speech And Physical Therapy Services
Easter Seals Central Illinois offers speech and physical therapy services to children and adults, both in center and offsite. Physical therapy is offered to age 18.
Therapy is provided by registered and licensed therapists. Therapists are also credentialed and enrolled as providers of Early Intervention (birth to age 3) services as required. Easter Seals therapists are able to perform therapy with all ages of clients. The Center employs individuals who are caring and knowledgeable in their field and who have experience working with families.
One of the main objectives of our therapy services is to encourage parental involvement and to provide training for parents. Parents have a major influence in their child's learning and development. Parents, or caregivers, are to be present during their child's therapy (either in the therapy room, observation area, or waiting area).
While Easter Seals is a non-for-profit organization, there is a fee for all therapy services. We do have a sliding fee scale based on family size and income. It is our practice to bill the State of Illinois Early Intervention System, the Illinois Department of Public Aid, the Division of Specialized Care for Children, and commercial health insurance carriers. Please speak to our accountant for further information and assistance.
We are confident that we directly impact the lives of those who seek our assistance. 91% of our clients meet developmental progress in expected time frames and 100% reported high satisfaction with the service they received. 100% of families report benefits from our services following discharge.
