About Step Forward Therapy Ltd.

Step Forward Therapy, Ltd. is a pediatric therapy clinic based in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, serving Rolling Meadows and nearby communities including Arlington Heights and Palatine. The clinic provides occupational therapy alongside speech and language therapy, physical therapy, and a developmental preschool program. Services are designed to support children across home, school, and community routines, with a focus on building functional skills and confidence over time.

Pediatric occupational therapy at Step Forward Therapy emphasizes skills that connect directly to daily participation. The clinic highlights support for sensory integration and sensory regulation, feeding challenges (including picky eating), balance and coordination, fine motor and visual-motor development, handwriting and pencil grasp, attention, organization, executive functioning, and social-emotional regulation. Occupational therapy also targets everyday self-care routines such as toileting, grooming, dressing, and bathing. The practice notes experience supporting children with a range of diagnoses and needs, including ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, hypotonia (low muscle tone), sensory processing disorders, and Down syndrome. Step Forward Therapy also offers small group programs for ages 3-12 that focus on social skills, feeding skills using the S.O.S approach, and handwriting skills using methods such as Handwriting Without Tears. Additional programs include outdoor therapy camps that integrate occupational and speech therapy through nature-based activities, as well as parent training sessions and workshops.

The occupational therapy team includes Meribeth Cassidy (MS, OTR/L), the clinic’s founder and CEO, who is fluent in American Sign Language, along with multiple OTR/L clinicians and COTA/L providers. The clinic also offers offsite therapy options at childcare centers and schools, coordinated to fit into a child’s day.

Frequently Asked Questions

The clinic asks families to begin by completing its intake paperwork through the First Steps process. If you need help getting started, you can call or email the clinic for assistance.

Step Forward Therapy states that it accepts all major insurance plans and offers a complimentary benefits check before therapy begins. The clinic can provide an estimate of expected out-of-pocket costs and may help with required pre-authorizations, but families are responsible for confirming that any needed pre-authorization is completed before the appointment.

Evaluations are scheduled for one hour. Families are asked to arrive 15 minutes early for check-in and to complete any paperwork and checklists before arriving (these are sent after the evaluation is scheduled). Parents can stay with their child or allow the child to complete the evaluation independently, based on comfort. The clinic recommends bringing a snack and water bottle, having your child wear socks, and following its no-shoe policy inside the facility. If you leave during the evaluation, the clinic asks that you return 10 minutes early.

After the evaluation, the therapist provides brief initial feedback and lets you know whether your child qualifies for therapy services. If your child qualifies, a Client Care Coordinator contacts you by phone to begin scheduling ongoing sessions. The clinic also provides a detailed evaluation report and schedules a 15-minute call with the evaluating therapist to review results and establish goals.

Parents are not required to stay during sessions. You may participate, wait in the waiting area, or leave the clinic, and if you leave, the clinic asks that you return 10 minutes early for a brief check-in with the therapist. For a child’s first therapy session, the clinic asks families to arrive about 5 minutes early, check in with the front desk, and then the therapist will meet you in the lobby and bring your child to the therapy area. The clinic also requests that you return to the lobby about 5 to 7 minutes before the session ends for an update and ideas to support practice at home.

To schedule or change sessions, Step Forward Therapy directs families to call 224-248-9449 or email scheduling@stepfwdtherapy.com.
