Who We Are

Blue Bird Day is an intensive therapy program for children with autism, ADHD, and other developmental disorders.

Our collaborative team provides occupational, physical, speech, developmental, ABA, and other therapies to help our clients reach their unique goals. We have locations in Chicago's West Loop and Northcenter neighborhoods and in Wheaton, and we're growing! Our West Loop location is unique because it has a onsite parking, two blocks from the blue line and a block away from Skinner West Park!
