About Shine Therapy

At Shine, we recognize that every family is unique and honor each child’s individual personality while partnering with parents to promote skill development.

Shine Therapy Services was founded in 2011, with the goal of providing more children with therapy services provided by experienced professionals.

We employ speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, dietitians and developmental therapists. Children in Peoria and surrounding areas are assessed and treated primarily in their home environments in order for them to be most comfortable and show the most progress. Shine therapists provide therapy in homes, daycares, and other community locations (such as libraries or other public buildings), as well as in our clinic on Allen Road in Peoria. All therapists are credentialed with the Early Intervention Program in Illinois.

Core Values

Acceptance

We value all family structures and cultures as equal, and have an attitude of acceptance and support toward every family we serve.

Guidance

We’re here to provide information and guide families to the next best steps for their child to improve skills. Families, therapists, office staff, doctors — we’re all team members in the therapy process.

Supporting the Parent-Child Relationship

We value the parent-child relationship above skill improvement, and model and coach positive behavior management strategies to preserve and strengthen that relationship.

Communication

We’re responsive and caring in our communication, and value sharing all available information with parents. We’re dedicated to being transparent in everything from our billing process to information relating to a child’s therapy and diagnosis.

Investing in Staff

We value dedication and have a long-term commitment to our employees. We encourage self improvement, professional development and training, and other leadership activities to build our skills.

Passion

We love encouraging our employees to follow their passion and grow Shine in directions to support them.

Sarah is amazing! I look forward to our meetings every week. My son gets so happy when he sees her, and even takes my phone and runs around the house with her. Sarah has helped our little boy out so much! Kristen is amazing also!! She definitely makes me feeling like I'm doing a good job. We have progressed so in feeding since we have started. Thanks to Kristen's tips, and ideas. I have only amazing things to say about Shine. I'm thankful everyday that we have the therapist we do.

Shine Therapy has turned my daughter around!!! They are absolutely wonderful. Her vocabulary has improved so much and so fast. We pay out of pocket for her therapy and it’s worth every penny. We look forward to seeing Ms. Sarah every week!

Sarah at Shine is amazing! I initially reached out to her about speech concerns I had for my 15 month old. And while most professionals told me that he’s a boy and he would grow out of it, she was very receptive and gave me all the various resources available in the area. When we met for the evaluation, she not only made me feel very comfortable, but she connected with my son as well. She engaged him for the hour long session and was able to help me understand how and why speech therapy would be beneficial for everyone. I recommend Shine to everyone!
