Rise & Bloom Therapy and Consulting provides high-quality, school-based occupational therapy services and consulting support tailored to the unique needs of school districts and their students. With experience across educational and clinical settings, we understand the demands of school-based practice and the importance of reliable, collaborative, and flexible therapy services. We partner with districts across the Greater Chicagoland area to provide individualized support to students from preschool to high school.
Why Rise & Bloom Therapy?
School-Based Expertise You Can Rely On: Hands-on experience in school-based occupational therapy to provide effective, practical support within the educational environment.
Bilingual Support That Expands Access: English and Spanish bilingual services help school teams better support diverse students and families.
OT Services Built Around Your District: We tailor our services to your district's caseload, priorities, and specific student needs, not a one-size-fits-all model.
A Reliable Partner for Your Educational Team: We collaborate directly with administrators, special education teams, and school staff to deliver consistent, responsive OT support that aligns with IEP goals, 504 plans, and MTSS frameworks.
Support for Growing Districts: We provide flexible OT services that help districts efficiently meet changing caseload and staffing needs without the added burden of expanding internal resources, recruitment, onboarding, and HR management.
Evaluations and IEP Support:
We provide evidence-based occupational therapy evaluations to identify student needs and help determine the most appropriate path for support and intervention. Our assessments address areas such as:
Fine motor development
Visual motor skills
Sensory processing and self-regulation
Handwriting and written output
Executive functioning skills
Social-emotional development and regulation
Activities of daily living and independence
Assistive technology and adaptive equipment
My evaluations are tailored to each student's unique strengths, needs, and school experience, ensuring recommendations are meaningful and student-centered. I take a neurodiversity-affirming approach that recognizes and respects the different ways students learn, communicate, and engage with the world. Comprehensive written reports are aligned with school district standards and provide clear, practical recommendations to support IEP development.
Therapy Services:
Rise & Bloom Therapy and Consulting provides a variety of school-based occupational therapy services, including individualized sessions, group support, and collaboration with teachers and school teams. My student-centered approach honors each student's learning style, abilities, and needs, supporting progress toward IEP goals and educational success.

I support school districts with comprehensive, evidence-based occupational therapy (OT) evaluations. Whether your district is managing a high volume of evaluations or needs a qualified OT to complete an evaluation independently, I provide timely, thorough, and student-centered assessments that help school teams determine appropriate services and next steps. As a bilingual English-Spanish occupational therapist, I am also able to support culturally and linguistically diverse students and families throughout the evaluation process, promoting clear communication and meaningful collaboration.
