What's driving demand in North Shore

The North Shore is one of the most commercially insured, highest-income pediatric therapy markets in the Midwest. Families here have waited months for clinic appointments and are ready to start immediately.

Geography

I-94 and Sheridan Road are the primary north-south corridors. Most North Shore providers cover 3–5 towns and rarely leave a 12-mile zone. Traffic is manageable outside of I-94 rush hours. The communities are dense enough that session clustering is highly efficient.

School districts

New Trier Township, Evanston/Skokie District 65, and Winnetka District 36 are among the highest-rated and most well-funded districts in Illinois. IEP volume is significant. School-based OTs and SLPs in these districts regularly refer families to Coral Care for services outside school hours.

Typical caseload

Caseload mix: 65–75% OT, 20–25% SLP, 5–10% PT. Predominantly school-age (5–12) with strong EI-transition segment. Most cases 1x per week. Average drive time between sessions: 8–12 minutes.
