Locally owned and operated, Treehouse opened in February 2012 and currently has a team of over 30clinical professionals in Woodridge and Batavia. We improve the lives of children that are diagnosed with ASD, sensory processing disorders, speech and language disorders, feeding issues, anxiety, depression, behavior issues, incontinence, physical and other neurological conditions.
