EB Pediatric Resources

We offer a range of therapies to support children's development:

• Speech therapy

Focuses on communication skills, including understanding and using language, speech clarity, and social communication.

• Occupational therapy (OT)

Supports fine motor skills, sensory processing, self-care, and participation in daily routines at home, school, and in the community.

• Developmental therapy (DT)

Addresses overall growth in cognition, language, social-emotional skills, and play, with a holistic, family-centered approach.

• ABA therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis)

Uses evidence-based behavioral strategies to teach new skills and reduce challenging behaviors, particularly for children with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental challenges. Programming may include 1:1 and small-group instruction and is tailored to each child.

• Behavioral health and family counseling

Supports children and families with emotional, behavioral, and adjustment concerns and provides counseling and family support services.

• Social skills groups and structured playgroups

Small-group experiences that focus on peer interaction, communication, following directions, transitioning between activities, and preparing children for a classroom environment.

Additional offerings listed on the website include options such as summer camp, feeding therapy, counseling/family support, social groups, and the Pyramid ELC Day Program.

Evaluation and getting started

• Families can contact EB Pediatric Resources to schedule an initial consultation at no charge to parents.
• A developmental therapist will discuss your concerns, your child's medical background, and your goals for your child's academic and developmental progress.
• An initial assessment is based on clinical observation and parent interview and looks at cognition, language, social skills, fine and gross motor skills, sensory integration, and regulation.
• You'll receive recommendations about which therapies and programs may best support your child.

Specific therapy recommendations, schedules, and availability are determined individually after the evaluation. For current openings or to discuss your child's needs, families should contact the clinic directly by phone or through the website's intake/consultation forms.

How to get started

Families who are interested in services can:

• Call the clinic at 312-458-9865.
• Use the intake questionnaire or contact/assessment form on the EB Pediatric Resources website to share information about their child and request a free initial consultation.

During the intake process, a clinician will discuss your concerns and goals for your child, review relevant background information, and recommend appropriate evaluations and services.

Lists Addison, Chicago, Logan Square, Milwaukee, Avondale, Elko, and Logan as a location. Names Illinois as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.

• The clinic is an approved PPO agency with Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Illinois.
• Therapists are accepted BCBS providers.
• EB Pediatric Resources will bill BCBS directly for services rendered.
• Families are responsible for co-pays, co-insurance, and any deductible amounts.

Other insurance plans

• If you are covered by an insurance provider other than BCBSIL, fees must generally be paid at the time of service.
• EB Pediatric Resources accepts Aetna, Humana, and several other insurance companies.
• For many non-BCBS plans, the clinic can bill the insurance company directly, but a pre-payment system must be set up before services begin.
• Some insurance companies require pre-approval or prior authorization. The clinic works with families to help obtain coverage and reimbursement when possible.

Rates and out-of-pocket costs

• Direct therapy service rates vary depending on the therapy provider and service type.
• The website advises families to call the clinic at 312-458-9865 for the most current information about fees and coverage.

Because benefits and coverage differ by plan and may change over time, families should:

• Contact their insurance provider to confirm benefits and any required authorizations.
• Call EB Pediatric Resources directly for up-to-date information on rates, billing procedures, and financial arrangements.

This agent cannot quote exact prices or guarantee that a specific service will be covered; all cost and coverage questions should be confirmed with the clinic and your insurance company.

• Monday – Friday: 8:00 am – 6:00 pm
• Weekends: Availability is based on therapy team and family needs.

Families should contact the clinic to confirm current availability and scheduling options, as weekend and extended hours depend on staff and program capacity.

Program and session times (center-based programs)

From the Contact page, typical session times at the centers include:

• Early drop-off: 8:00 – 9:00 am
• Morning (AM) session: 9:00 – 11:30 am
• Afternoon (PM) session: 1:00 – 3:30 pm
• After-school program: 3:45 – 6:00 pm

These blocks are used for preschool, early learning, and therapy-based programming. Exact schedules, days, and which programs run in each block can change over time and may differ by location.

Families should contact EB Pediatric Resources directly to confirm:

• Which programs are currently offered in each time block.
• Whether early drop-off, after-school programs, or weekend times are available for their child.
• Any seasonal changes (for example, summer camp schedules).

From the FAQ:

• EB Pediatric Resources appreciates 24-hour notice before canceling therapy sessions whenever possible.
• When adequate notice is provided, the clinic will work with families to schedule a make-up session for the child.

For group-based programs:

• If your child misses a group session, the clinic typically holds a "make-up" week following the 10-week session during which families can make up missed classes.

Illness policy

• If your child is feeling ill or has a fever/temperature, families are asked not to bring the child to class or to therapy sessions.
• This is to protect the health of other children and staff.
• Therapeutic interventions are generally not effective when a child is feeling unwell, so rescheduling is recommended.

Flexibility and communication

The clinic understands that family schedules are not always flexible and will work with families to support the best outcomes for children.

Specific cancellation fees, limits on make-ups, and any updates to illness policies may change over time. Families should contact the clinic directly for the most current policy details.

Pyramid PreK Early Learning Center offers:

• A School Readiness Program specifically designed for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who need extra support transitioning into a school environment or who benefit from a supplement to a half-day school program.
• Programming that uses Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to build key skills for academic, social, and classroom success.

Who the program is for

• Children (typically ages 2–6) who need added support navigating their sensory world, engaging with peers, and succeeding in a classroom setting.
• Children who may benefit from intensive ABA classroom options (half-day or full-day), with added opportunities to interact with peers in more typical settings.
• The overarching goal is to help children transition to a typical elementary school classroom.

Focus areas and benefits

The Pyramid programs are designed to:

• Develop school readiness skills

Build the foundational abilities needed for classroom participation, following routines, and engaging in structured activities.

• Improve communication skills

Strengthen verbal and non-verbal communication, understanding of social cues, and participation in group activities.

• Enhance social skills

Support turn-taking, sharing, cooperative play, making friends, and functioning in group environments.

• Reduce challenging behaviors

Use ABA strategies to replace disruptive behaviors (such as tantrums or self-stimulatory behaviors) with more functional skills.

• Build independence and self-care skills

Promote skills such as dressing, using the restroom, and following instructions to support greater independence.

• Support self-regulation and time management

Help children learn to manage emotions and behavior, and transition smoothly between tasks and activities.

Learning Through Play Center for Child Development

The Learning Through Play Center for Child Development (Lakeview location) offers structured playgroups and therapeutic preschool-style experiences that:

• Emphasize learning through play and following the child's interests.
• Focus on separation from parents, following teacher directions, transitioning between activities, and interacting with peers.
• Provide a smaller, more supportive environment for children who may find a regular preschool overwhelming.

Program details (such as session length, group composition, and current offerings) can vary over time. Families should contact EB Pediatric Resources directly to learn about current preschool and early learning program options, schedules, and availability.

Ask anyway — the agent will say plainly that it is not published rather than guess.
