At Gracent Pediatric Therapy in Wheaton, we believe every child deserves therapy that feels personal, purposeful, and full of possibility. We meet each child where they are, then build the path forward.
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 Wheaton center.

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

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.
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.
When you walk into our Wheaton center, you're not handed off to whoever's available. Your child works with the same faces every week. Their team knows their routines, their wins, and the exact moment things get hard. Progress happens when a child trusts the people in the room.
At Gracent, your child's ABA, speech, and occupational therapists don't work in silos — they work side by side, on one plan.
Identifies the patterns behind behavior and builds a plan to support communication, regulation, and learning.
Provides the words, gestures, or tools to express feelings, needs, and ideas.
Supports regulation, motor skills, and sensory needs so their body feels calm, capable, and ready to try again.
And one day, you'll see it: a smooth transition, the right words, or proudly doing something that once felt out of reach. That's not a single moment, it's the result of connected care, designed for your child.

Our Wheaton center sits just off Naperville Road and Butterfield Road by Danada Square, easy to reach for families across town and from neighboring Glen Ellyn, Carol Stream, Winfield, and Warrenville — a short drive from I-88 and I-355. Getting your child to consistent, weekly therapy shouldn't mean a long drive, and here it doesn't.
We work hand-in-hand with the schools your kids actually attend. That means coordinating with Wheaton Warrenville Community Unit School District 200 (CUSD 200) on IEP goals, evaluations, and the language that shows up in your child's school day. You'll see support that lines up with what their teachers and therapists are already doing, not generic recommendations.
And because Wheaton is built for families — Cantigny Park and Cosley Zoo, the Illinois Prairie Path, and a walkable downtown with the French Market — we focus on the real-world skills that let your child take part: regulating in a busy park, joining a team, ordering for themselves on a Saturday outing. Therapy that travels off the mat and into their actual life here.
Hours:
Monday to Thursday: 8:00 am to 7:00 pm
Friday: 8:00 am to 6:00 pm
Saturday: 9:00 am to 3:00 pm
Sunday: Closed
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) helps children with autism build communication, social, and daily-living skills. At our Wheaton center it's playful, connected, and led by your child's strengths — because if every kid gets the same plan, it's not a plan.
The team is amazing. Our son has made so much progress. The work of his therapist and lead ABA coordinator have helped him to move through many of his goals faster than expected. We are so appreciative of the staff at Gracent.
Excellent RBT pairing, amazing plans and goals beautifully implemented in my son's treatment plan! He's thriving! Thank you!
My child attends both OT and speech therapy and we've had a very positive experience with the therapists and Gracent as a whole. Very pleased with how everything is going and I'm confident we are getting him the right and professional assistance that he needs.
Gracent is full of passionate and professional staff members that truly care. Thank you for all you do!
Yes. Our Wheaton center at 1751 S Naperville Road, Suite 107 provides ABA therapy for autism alongside speech therapy, occupational therapy, and our school-readiness prep program — one interdisciplinary team under one roof. For autism testing, families visit our nearby Naperville center. (Formerly North Shore Pediatric Therapy.)
We provide early autism evaluations for children about 18 months to 4 years through our nearby Naperville, Deerfield, and Arlington Heights centers, with immediate availability — so families don't wait months for answers. If testing leads to a diagnosis, therapy can begin right here in Wheaton, without starting over somewhere new.
We support children from as young as 18 months through the school years. Our early autism testing focuses on 18 months to 4 years, where early support makes the biggest difference — but we also serve older children and teens.
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.
We're at 1751 S Naperville Road, Suite 107, Wheaton, IL 60189, serving families across Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Carol Stream, Winfield, and Warrenville. Hours are Monday–Thursday 8am–7pm, Friday 8am–6pm, and Saturday 9am–3pm. Call 630-473-9392 to get started.
One team, one plan. Your child's ABA, speech, occupational-therapy, mental-health, and neuropsychology providers work together and share a single plan — so you're not left coordinating disconnected providers. Every plan is built around your child's individual needs, never cookie-cutter hours, and our school-readiness program bridges therapy and the classroom.
For most families, ABA therapy is covered by insurance. We accept most major Illinois plans and verify your benefits before your child starts — so you'll know your coverage, co-pays, and any out-of-pocket costs up front, with no surprises.
It looks like play. Our BCBAs follow your child's lead, building communication, social, and daily-living skills through the games and routines they already love, in warm one-on-one sessions — connected across their whole team and shaped by your child, never a set number of hours to fill.
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.
