Our Mission

Kids Place Therapy Services promotes the healthy development of the “whole child” through a multi-faceted approach. Together, with family members and other medical, as well as educational professionals, we empower the child to engage in daily routines.

Our team of skilled physical, occupational, and speech therapists focus on the unique needs of each individual and work to provide each child with the strongest foundation for success. We believe in building the child’s self-confidence and achieving therapy goals through play.

Kam Wyruchowski, MOT, OTR/L

Kam Wyruchowski, occupational therapist and owner of Kids Place Therapy Services, has been specializing in pediatrics since 2005. After completing her master’s degree in occupational therapy at Concordia University in Mequon, Wisconsin, she moved to Illinois to begin her career in pediatrics. Kam’s passion is working with kids and motivating them through play to build their self-confidence. Initially her continuing education focused on more traditional methods of treatment including Handwriting Without Tears, Therapeutic Listening, NDT (neuro-developmental treatment), Sensory Integration and Brain Gym. More recently, Kam has incorporated in her treatment approach parent education on diet and environmental impact on behavior and other non-traditional treatments including use of deep breathing and yoga to calm the mind. Kam believes that a child is able to be his or her best when a more holistic approach is taken. She encourages families to seek additional resources such as nutrition counseling and allergy testing when appropriate. Kam has worked in pediatric outpatient settings, the school system and the Illinois Early Intervention program. These experiences have given her ability to coach parents on what to expect as their child grows and transitions through the various therapy and educational settings. Kam has dedicated her career to empowering children to achieve independence and success in their everyday lives.
