Northstar Pediatrics INC

Northstar Pediatrics, Inc. provides developmental therapy and evaluations for children and families across the greater Chicagoland area and nearby communities. The organization serves children from birth to age three who have cognitive, social-emotional, or adaptive delays, offering initial and annual developmental evaluations as well as ongoing therapy. Services are delivered at a child’s home or daycare, with one-on-one support tailored to individual needs.

Therapists use play-based approaches to assess developmental levels, create specialized treatment plans, and set achievable goals. They also educate parents about developmental needs and milestones, encourage family participation, and coordinate with other members of a child’s support team. Northstar Pediatrics emphasizes a friendly, supportive relationship with each child and aims to help children build skills for success in everyday life.

The company is led by CEO Alexis Riffle and staffed by developmental therapists with varied training and specializations. Northstar Pediatrics also supports the March of Dimes, donating a portion of its proceeds annually to help fund research into health concerns affecting mothers and babies, including premature birth.
