Reilly Cosgrove, OTD, OTR/L

Hi, I'm Reilly! 

As a dedicated pediatric occupational therapist, I bring a wealth of experience working with children of all ages and supporting families with a variety of needs. In my practice, I have supported many children with ASD, ADHD, Down syndrome, developmental coordination disorder, sensory processing differences, and emotional regulatory challenges. With a developmentally-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach, I strive to meet children where they are, tailoring my methods to fit their unique strengths and needs. My training in DIR-Floortime helps me create meaningful connections with each child, fostering their growth and development at their own pace.

I have experience working in both outpatient settings and private schools, where I collaborate with families and educators to create supportive, enriching environments for children. In addition to my work at RHR Therapies, I teach a class at Duke University's School of Medicine, where I explore the intersection of spirituality, religion, and occupational therapy. 

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with friends (particularly chasing after their toddlers), traveling, and swimming in Lake Michigan when the Chicago weather allows. I am passionate about empowering families to navigate the challenges they face and celebrate the gifts that each child brings with them.
