Advanced Therapy & Wellness Center is a specialty clinic in Crest Hill, Illinois for children and adults with speech, language, cognitive, feeding and swallowing, myofunctional, and breathing pattern challenges. Our occupational therapy program covers the body side of the picture: craniosacral fascial therapy, retained reflex integration, developmental and fine motor skills, sensory regulation, and pelvic floor therapy. Speech and OT under one roof, working from one plan.
Our infant program runs especially deep: feeding evaluations, gentle bodywork and craniosacral fascial therapy, retained reflex work, and pre- and post-release support for tongue, lip, and buccal ties, all coordinated with airway-centric dentists, release providers, and lactation consultants.
What makes us different is how we look for answers. We don't chase symptoms. We find the root cause and treat that.
Every patient starts with a story, and we listen to all of it. Whether a doctor referred you or your own instincts said something's off, your observations are part of the evaluation, not a footnote to it.
Then we look at the whole system: the mouth, the breath, the body, and the habits connecting them. When care needs more than one discipline, our speech, feeding, and occupational therapy teams build one coordinated plan, and we work directly with your dentist, pediatrician, ENT, or release provider instead of around them.
The destination is your best potential. Yours, not a template's.
Function over normal.
We work closely with you, your child's teachers, therapists, and doctors to build treatment around your child's specific needs, and a brighter future on top of it.

Margaret's book
Parent. Patient. Practitioner.Recognize Dysfunction, Ask Better Questions, & Advocate for Healing
Launching January 13, 2027
What if the symptoms you've learned to live with aren't actually normal? I wrote this book for the parent lying awake knowing something is off while everyone says he'll grow out of it. For the patient with jaw pain, headaches or fatigue that no one can fully explain. And for the practitioner watching patients sit on a caseload for years without real progress.
Through my own story, my son's, and the R.O.O.T.S. Method, it shows you how to recognize dysfunction, ask better questions, and advocate for a different path forward.
Margaret founded ATWC after her own experience with myofunctional disorders and holistic care. Hear the whole story in her interview, and the newest conversation she has had about it.
