Pediatric therapy near Arlington

Everything your child needs,
under one roof.

Most children in Arlington are zoned to Arlington ISD, and in Texas developmental services pass from ECI to the school district at age 3. Our Southlake center helps families through that handover, and can start ABA, speech or occupational therapy before it is settled.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA Therapy for Autism)

We practice ABA the way it should be done now: assent-driven, play-based, and coordinated with your child's speech and occupational therapists rather than run in isolation. Arlington children attend at Southlake.

Speech & Feeding Therapy

Our speech-language pathologists support children at every stage of communication, from first words to clearer speech, stronger understanding, and more confident expression.

We focus on skills that show up in real life — asking for help, joining conversations, expressing feelings, and being understood by peers and adults.

Therapy is playful, purposeful, and personalized, helping children feel heard and understood wherever they go.

Occupational Therapy

From morning routines to playground adventures, our OTs help children build comfort, confidence, and coordination — so daily life feels easier for everyone.

Occupational therapy supports skills like dressing, eating, handwriting, emotional regulation, and sensory processing. We help children feel more comfortable in their bodies, more regulated in their emotions, and more confident navigating everyday tasks at home, school, and play.

Mental Health Services

Our therapists help kids understand emotions, build coping skills, and feel more confident navigating friendships, school, and daily life.

Through age-appropriate, evidence-informed therapy, children learn how to name feelings, manage anxiety, handle frustration, and build emotional resilience.

We support the whole child, helping them feel calmer, more confident, and more capable in the moments that matter most.

Gracent Pediatric Therapy - Southlake, TX

2104 Greenbriar Dr Southlake, TX 76092

Our Southlake center sits at 2104 Greenbriar Dr, the closest Gracent location to Arlington. Consistent weekly therapy depends on a drive a family can actually keep up, so call and we will be honest about whether this one works for you.

Arlington ISD serves most of Arlington. We line our goals and our language up with the school team's, so your child is not being asked to do two different things in two different rooms.

Families come from Viridian, downtown Arlington and the Entertainment District. We keep goals grounded in everyday life - getting through a busy morning, playing alongside a sibling, asking for help when something is too much.

Hours: Monday to Friday: 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Saturday and Sunday: Closed

Common questions

What Arlington families want to know

Where is the closest ABA therapy to Arlington?

Our Southlake center at 2104 Greenbriar Dr, Southlake, TX 76092 is the nearest Gracent Pediatric Therapy location to Arlington. It provides ABA therapy for autism alongside speech therapy, occupational therapy and our school-readiness program. Call 817-934-6501 to get started.

My Arlington child is not in school yet - what are the options?

Start with ECI (Early Childhood Intervention) - it is the Texas program for children under 3 and it is free or low-cost. Arlington ISD takes over at age 3 for most of Arlington. You are also free to begin privately at any point, and we will check your insurance before anything is scheduled.

What ages do you work with?

As young as 18 months, and on through the school years. There is no age at which it is too late to start, but there is real benefit to starting early.

What insurance do you accept?

We accept most major insurance plans and will run a benefits check with you before your child starts, so you have a clear picture of coverage and any out-of-pocket costs before day one.

Which areas around Arlington do you serve?

Across Arlington and nearby Tarrant County, that includes Viridian, downtown Arlington and the Entertainment District. Our Southlake center is the location those families use. If the drive is borderline for you, say so when you call 817-934-6501 and we will help you weigh it.

What makes Gracent different?

One team, one plan. Your child's ABA, speech and occupational therapists work together and share a single plan, so you are not left coordinating disconnected providers. Every plan is built around your child, never a set number of hours to fill.

How does insurance work for ABA in Texas?

Most Texas plans fund ABA for children with an autism diagnosis. We verify your specific benefits before day one and tell you plainly what is covered and what is not. Call 817-934-6501 and we can start that check.

Is there a waitlist for Arlington families?

Availability changes, so the honest answer is to call 817-934-6501 and ask. We will tell you what we actually have at Southlake rather than put you on a list and go quiet.

Is ABA therapy right for toddlers?

Yes — early ABA is one of the things we do best. We welcome children as young as 18 months, and starting early helps skills carry into preschool, kindergarten, and everyday family life. Every plan is paced for a young child.

Can we start therapy in Arlington before a diagnosis?

Often yes, in part. Texas plans typically require an autism diagnosis to fund ABA, but speech and occupational therapy do not carry the same requirement, so many Arlington families start there while the evaluation is in progress.
