Kelli
Preschool Teacher
Meet Kelli, she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a minor in Children’s Studies from Illinois State University. Currently, she is working towards her Master’s in Occupational Therapy at North Central College. While working at SFT, Kelli was inspired to become an OT herself after witnessing the immense impact the therapists make on their clients and families.
Kelli enjoys being a part of her students’ growth and witnessing their resilience. She likes fostering a fun and educational classroom that supports each child’s needs. Kelli enjoys learning from and working alongside her colleagues to best support the kids. Outside of work, Kelli likes to be active outside, spend time with friends and family, and practice yoga!

Client Testimonials
At Step Forward Therapy, we take great pride in the positive impact our team has on the lives of our clients and their families. Here’s what some of our clients have to say about their experience with our staff:
Our daughter has worked with OT’s, PT’s, and SLP’s and the progress she has made during the two years we have been with them is tremendous! From the scheduling and billing staff to the owner to the therapists, they are all friendly, detail-oriented, kind beyond belief, awesome with kids, and phenomenal therapists!!
Step Forward Therapy is a wonderful place for pediatric therapy support. The therapists are kind and energetic, and the administrative staff is prompt and helpful. Have to give a shout out to Ms. Claire! She is a super talented OT and my son grew so much thanks to her.
