What Makes Gracent Different

We’ve built our program around what families say they need most: personalization, preparation, and a true team behind their child.

01

Personalized care that fits your child (not the other way around)

Families tell us they’ve seen therapy that felt generic. Rigid. Hour-first instead of child-first.

We don’t work that way.

We start with:

How your child communicates
What motivates them
Your home routines
Your child’s sensory needs
Your priorities as a parent

Then we design a plan around those realities, grounded in evidence, shaped by your child’s personality.

No one-size-fits-all. No guesswork. Just care that makes sense.

02

School Readiness that goes beyond checklists

Worrying if ABA skills will transfer to school is one of the biggest concerns families tell us.

Classrooms move fast. Routines are structured. Social moments are unpredictable. We prepare kids for all of it.

Our ABA therapy helps children:

Join circle time
Follow group routines
Build emotional regulation
Participate in early learning activities
Communicate with teachers and peers
Handle transitions and new environments

Our goal isn’t simply to “qualify” a child for school.

It’s to help them feel ready — confident, capable, and excited.

03

True Interdisciplinary Care (ABA + Speech + OT + Neuropsychology)

Your child’s world is interconnected — communication affects play, sensory processing affects transitions, attention affects learning. Their therapy should be interconnected, too.

Your child’s BCBA collaborates with:

Speech therapists to support language and communication
Occupational therapists to support sensory, motor, and regulation needs
Neuropsychologists for deeper evaluation and guidance

All under one roof.
All working toward one shared plan.
All communicating daily.

You’re no longer the go-between — we are one team behind your child.

Real-Life Skills We Work Toward

Everyday skills that help your child participate, connect, and thrive.

Communicating wants and needs
Playing alongside peers
Staying engaged in circle time
Managing sensory needs
Handling routine transitions
Trying new foods
Following instructions
Participating in preschool routines
Building emotional regulation
Entering school with confidence

How We Build Your Child’s Plan

1

Understand your child’s world

We learn about your child’s strengths, challenges, routines, and what matters most to you.

2
Build a connected plan

ABA, speech, OT, and neuropsychology experts design a unified, personalized plan that reflects how your child learns best.

3
Support progress where it matters

Skills learned in therapy begin to show up naturally — at home, with peers, and in school routines — because our focus is real-world carryover.

What Families Say About Gracent Pediatric Therapy

I can't stress enough how proud we are of the turnaround my son has been doing. He went from behaviors everyday to smaller behaviors, he went from little words to actually trying to communicate better with everyone that he comes across. Thank you so much for the patience, love and dedication you have given my son.

I can't sing their praises loud enough - convenient location, great staff and a really good experience for my daughter who actually counts down the days between appointments since she has such a good time.

I am so happy with the therapy my child has received from this clinic. My child looks forward to visiting with his therapist and the improvement we have seen in our child in a short time is amazing.

FAQ: Families’ Most Common Questions

How is your ABA therapy different?

We personalize every plan based on your child and integrate ABA with speech, OT, and neuropsychology. Families feel the difference immediately.

Will my child have a dedicated team?

Yes — and they communicate daily. No more siloed care.

How does ABA support school readiness?

We teach the routines, communication, and regulation skills children need to thrive in classrooms, not just therapy rooms.

Do you work on daily-life challenges?

Absolutely. Meals, transitions, play, routines — these are core parts of our plans.

Can skills carry over at home and school?

Yes. That’s the whole point of our interdisciplinary model.

When can we start?

We’ll help you get started quickly and walk you through every step.
