Our next 'What's-Your-Win' comes from Carly and the team at our Orland Park center 👏
Carly shared how her team recently came together to support one of their kiddos as he prepared for an upcoming event. They practiced, prepped, and made sure he felt ready every step of the way… and of course, they celebrated the win together 💛
Because when you’re a part of The Place, you gain a whole cheerleading squad behind your family. Your child’s success matters deeply to us.
At The Place, celebration and community are not extras, they are essential to how we deliver care. We celebrate every step forward, big or small, and we do it together.
That sense of support, connection, and shared wins is what makes the experience so meaningful for our families and our teams 💛
18 centers strong, built on moments like these 💫

What’s Your Win Wednesday 💙
Shoutout to Kayleigh from our Outreach team for making a big impact this week!
Kayleigh supported a family relocating to Illinois who was searching for ABA therapy services and helped guide them all the way through to enrollment. Moving is a lot. Navigating services shouldn’t be.
At The Place, our Outreach team is here to make it feel easy. We take the lead on collaborating with your child’s healthcare team and insurance to gather everything needed so your family can focus on what matters most.
Wishing you had someone to answer every question and simplify the process?
We get it. We got you.

You heard it here first from Colin, BCBA at Lake in the Hills!
Our Student Analysts (SBAs) and BCBAs? It’s more than supervision… it’s real partnership. Mentorship, laughter, problem-solving, celebrating wins (big and small)… all of it.
Across our centers, our SBAs are learning, growing, and being poured into by leaders who truly care. And it shows in the culture, the energy, and the clinical excellence we bring every day.
If you’re looking for a place where you’re supported, challenged, and surrounded by people who want to see you win…
This might just be The Place 😉

Challenge accepted… and crushed 🐣💪
Our cross-functional teams came together to stuff 400 eggs with fun, non-food goodies—because inclusion matters in every detail.
Did we do it in under 15 minutes?
Yep. 10 minutes and 14 seconds later… DONE.
We love partnering with local park districts to help events feel more inclusive, accessible, and fun for every child and family.

ABA therapy is so much more than people think.
It’s not just one skill or one goal—it’s the building blocks of everyday life.
From communication…
to play…
to independence…
to emotional regulation…
These are the skills that help children feel confident, capable, and ready for the world around them.
In this video, our team shares just some of the skills children can learn through ABA therapy—and why early intervention can make such a meaningful difference.
Because when we start early, we’re not just teaching skills…
we’re opening doors.
✨ Here are just a few of the skills children can master with the right support.

Our regional trainer is giving a huge shoutout to our newest Behavior Technicians who just achieved a 100% pass rate on their RBT exams after completing our hands-on training program.
At The Place, we take onboarding seriously. Every new hire goes through a 3-week training program designed to prepare them to deliver the level of clinical excellence our families expect and our children deserve.
For our families, that means confidence knowing the people working with your child are trained, supported, and held to a high standard.
For those looking to join our team, it means you will be set up for success from day one.
We are incredibly proud of this team and grateful for the care they bring to the children and families we serve every day.
