We absolutely love The Place in Waukegan. Our daughter started right before the turned 3. She was completely non-verbal and a severe elopement risk. She now has a rather large vocabulary and is working on her social skills as we enter our second year. The staff are kind and dedicated and our daughter loves going to school each day.

I want to share my experience there has been great. My daughter is really comfortable coming in and having all the structured learning, social play. I like the way they are really flexible with our schedule at home. Our lives have done a 360 turn with behavior at home and out in the community. TY The Place for all you've done for our family.
