Helping every child grow with care that fits.

At Gracent Pediatric Therapy in Elmhurst, every child’s journey is uniquely their own — and so is their care. Our team meets each child right where they are, then designs a path that inspires growth, builds confidence, and helps them thrive at school, in play, and in everyday life.

Begin Your Child's Journey

Applied Behavior Analysis
(ABA Therapy for Autism)

Great ABA is playful, connected, and shaped by your child’s voice, and that’s the standard we’re known for.

Our clinicians collaborate across disciplines, tailor every goal to your child’s strengths, and create sessions that feel engaging, meaningful, and genuinely supportive. It’s an approach that helps children connect, participate, and feel truly understood.

We have immediate availability for ABA therapy at our Elmhurst center.

Early Autism Testing & Diagnostic Evaluations

Answers bring relief and direction. Our team uses gentle, play-based assessments that help you finally understand what’s happening and what to do next.

Children Under 5:
Assessments can be scheduled within two weeks in our Naperville, Deerfield, and Arlington Heights centers.

Children 5 & Up:
We are currently booking appointments 6-8 weeks into the future.

School Readiness written by a child in an alternating color pattern

Our School Readiness program bridges the gap between therapy and school. Children learn in a small-classroom environment while receiving individualized, clinically-guided support, so skills generalize where they matter most.

We know parents want more than milestones — they want progress that shows up in real life. That’s why everything we do points toward school readiness, confidence, and independence.

‍Our half-day School Readiness program in Elmhurst, IL helps children build the skills needed for classroom participation.

Speech 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.

When Care Connects, Your Child's World Opens Up.

Imagine your child struggling with something small that feels impossibly big, whether that's a hard time moving between activities, difficulty finding the right words, or frustration during play.

You’ve tried everything you can think of, but nothing seems to stick for long. That’s where our collaborative team steps in. At Gracent, your child’s ABA, speech, and occupational therapists don’t work in silos — they work side by side.

Their BCBA helps identify patterns behind behavior and builds a plan to support communication, regulation, and learning.

Their speech therapist gives them the words, gestures, or tools to express feelings, needs, and ideas.

Their occupational therapist supports regulation, motor skills, and sensory needs so their body feels calm, capable, and ready to try again.

Together, they build a plan that feels seamless — one your child can carry from the clinic to the classroom to home.

And one day, you’ll see it: your child making a smooth transition, finding the words they need, or proudly doing something that once felt out of reach. That’s not a single moment of progress — it’s the result of connected care, designed for your child.

Our commitment to you and your child:

‍For our clients, treatment hours are determined on an individualized basis, without predefined blocks.
Our BCBAs weigh the priorities of the family, the availability of the child given other therapeutic services they may be receiving, and the level of support needed to facilitate the best outcomes.
All of our treatment plans have terminal goals that are reported every 6 months and discussed every 3 months directly with the family, to ensure we are always moving towards fading the level of support needed and increasing daily independence.
