Our Mission

Kids Place Therapy Services focuses on the priorities and needs of each individual child and family. In creating a child’s therapy treatment plan, we incorporate a multi-faceted approach and include the child’s family and team of medical and educational professionals. Our belief is that success comes when all members of the child’s team work cooperatively.

Therapy focuses on meeting functional goals that will allow the child to engage successfully in daily routines and play. In supporting the development of “the whole child,” 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.
