I am Michelle Moore, a dedicated Developmental Therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, bringing over 17 years of extensive experience working with infants and toddlers. My professional focus within the Illinois Early Intervention Program is multifaceted, encompassing empowering parent coaching, developing tailored resources, and fostering healthier relational dynamics within families.

My journey into this incredibly rewarding field began as a Service Coordinator with CFC 11 at Rush University Medical Center. This foundational experience, where I was deeply involved in establishing required documentation, coordinating appointments for evaluations, and ensuring continuity of care, ignited a profound desire within me to transition into a direct service provider role. This led me to pursue further qualifications as a Developmental Therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, allowing me to engage more directly and meaningfully with families.

What I find most fulfilling about working in Early Intervention is the profound privilege of creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where families can discover clarity, cultivate peace, and restore balance in their lives. It's truly inspiring to help them embrace their unique purpose and nurture deeper, more resilient connections—not only with their children and immediate families but also within their broader social circles and with themselves.
