About The Waukegan Center
The Place for Children with Autism Waukegan provides full-time, center-based ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism. The program is designed around early childhood development, combining individualized instruction with group activities that give children opportunities to build practical, social, and developmental skills.
The Waukegan facility spans approximately 9,000 square feet and includes five large classrooms, a spacious gym and activity area, and a secure entrance. The center is arranged to support both one-on-one therapy and shared activities within a structured, preschool-like environment.
Each child’s treatment plan is developed around their individual needs and the priorities of their family. Therapists use Applied Behavior Analysis principles to guide care while adjusting goals and activities according to the child’s progress.
The center serves families from Waukegan, Gurnee, North Chicago, Lake Forest, and nearby communities. It is located about 10 minutes from the Tri-State Tollway and Exit 11A, providing relatively easy access from surrounding parts of Lake County.
