The Place for Children with Autism
The Place for Children with Autism specializes in providing the highest quality autism therapy (i.e., applied behavior analysis: ABA therapy) in a preschool-like setting for children with autism ages 2-6. Utilizing one-to-one therapy in a structured, center-based environment, our full-day programs target a variety of skills across many key areas of development, including communication, socialization, independent living, and school readiness. It is our mission to deliver best-in-class therapy based on the individual needs of our clients, and our goal is to make significant and measurable improvements in the lives of the children, families, and communities that we serve. As an accredited Behavioral Health Center of Excellence company, The Place for Children with Autism operates nine (9) therapy centers in the Chicagoland area and one in Urbana, Illinois. Three (3) new centers are slated to open in the first half of 2021, with additional new centers planned to meet the growing need for best-in-class autism therapy services in our community.
