Our introductory post in our blog series on how to get started at CI!


Parenting is not an easy job even under perfect circumstances. The challenges only multiply when your family embarks on a journey into the therapy world.

Beginning therapy can feel overwhelming, daunting, and full of unknowns. We never want our families to feel that way. Our Care Coordination team is wholly committed to making new families feel heard, well-informed, and ultimately, empowered.

A simple phone call to our clinic starts the intake process. We will gather some basic information about your child and invite you to our clinic for a consultation. This free, 30-minute appointment allows our Intake Coordinator to hear about your main concerns and/or goal areas and describe the services that would be most beneficial. You will tour the clinic and quickly discover why children love coming to CI. Each clinic is a colorful, energetic place full of knowledgeable therapists eager to help children enjoy therapy while reaching their highest potential.

What can you expect from beginning services at CI?

First, you can expect for your child (and their siblings, too) to be greeted by name upon arrival. You can also expect a fun and functional setting for your entire family, a collaborative and holistic approach to therapy, and many smiling faces! And by the time your child’s session wraps up, there’s a good chance a sticker or lollipop is waiting for them.

It’s our privilege to have the opportunity to partner with so many incredible families in the South Central Wisconsin area (& nationwide, with our Advance Program!). We would love to talk with you to see how CI can best serve your family. To set up a consultation, you can use our contact form or give us a call at (608) 819-6394.
