Hey TL parents! In case you haven't already heard from your child's therapist, kids are invited to wear their Halloween costume to OT the week of October 27th-31st. For their safety, we ask that they can move easily in the costume and can see clearly. Also, please no weapons.

Hello TLinks families! You may have heard that we have switched over to using Ocean Friends. We know that not everyone wants yet another app on their phones, but we strongly encourage you to give the Ocean Friends app a try. It takes up less space on your phone than many frequently used apps (Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc) and has a lot to offer.

With the Ocean Friends app, you can:
- message your child's therapist
- see and pay your bill
- access your child's OT daily notes and progress reports
- see pictures of your child and their progress, shared by their therapist
- view your child's OT schedule

You can also find flyers in our waiting room with the QR code to scan.

If you have any questions or issues with downloading or using the app, feel free to reach out!

Meet Ms. Shannon!

Shannon is a licensed Pediatric Occupational Therapist. Her education includes a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Masters degree in occupational therapy, both from St. Ambrose University.

Shannon holds post-professional certifications in SOS Approach to feeding and DIR-Floortime. Ayres' sensory integration has also been a strong influence on Shannon's education and approach to OT.

She has also taken a variety of continuing education trainings, including trauma informed sensory processing treatment, Astronaut Training, Therapeutic Listening, and more. Shannon loves using play and collaborating with others to expand upon therapy ideas and meet each person as they come.

She has worked in clinics, schools, telehealth, home, daycares, and private school settings. In therapy, she uses a child-lead, strength's based approach that is neurodiversity affirming. She values promoting confidence, competence, and meaningful participation in daily tasks and activities.

In her spare time, she enjoys time with her family, running, reading, listening to podcasts or audiobooks, and watching movies.

This week we'd like to introduce you to another of our new therapists, Ms. Marla.

Marla is a licensed occupational therapist with a passion for supporting children in developing confidence, independence, and functional skills through engaging, play-based therapy. She earned both her Bachelor’s degree in Rehabilitation Science and Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Concordia University Wisconsin.

Through her clinical training in pediatric outpatient, orthopedic outpatient, and outpatient neuro settings, Marla developed a well-rounded, family-centered approach to care. She strives to create a fun and supportive environment where children feel empowered and families feel involved.

Outside of work, Marla enjoys exploring different cuisines, weightlifting, spending time with loved ones, caring for her dog, and unwinding with a fresh manicure.

Our Story

Therapeutic Links was founded by an Occupational Therapist in 2002. This Occupational Therapist still owns, directs and has ongoing contact with the children and families in her practice. This is important in order to best create an atmosphere that understands and listens to the needs of Therapeutic Links families and the community served. Our services and therapists support families from intake to graduation from birth to adulthood as needed. Therapeutic Links staff members are highly skilled with a diverse amount of education for all types of needs. As Occupational Therapists we think holistically and creatively. We are able to engage all ages of individuals in meaningful activities that promote guaranteed progress for our clients. Our staff values collaboration among all caregivers, team members, teachers and medical professionals. At our Grayslake Clinic we are able to offer psychological services, speech therapy and developmental therapy through partnering companies.

We look forward to working with you!
