Gabby Theiss is the owner and clinical director of Learning Grove ABA, where she leads with a passion for making meaningful connections with families and young children affected by Autism. As a Wisconsin Licensed and Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Gabby brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her practice. She earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Carthage College and a master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis with an emphasis on Autism from Ball State University.

Since 2016 she has been working with children with various abilities and diagnoses, Gabby has worked in a variety of settings, including center-based services, in-home services, and school-based services. Her collaborative approach has seen her work alongside Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), Occupational Therapists (OTs), Psychologists/Neuropsychologists, and County professionals, all with the goal of providing comprehensive and holistic care.

Gabby’s journey into the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) began in her last semester of college when she discovered her passion for working with children affected by Autism. From that point forward, she knew that this was her calling. After working as a technician for two years, she returned to school to further her education and deepen her understanding of ABA.

Gabby believes that children learn best through play, as it offers countless opportunities for natural and engaging learning experiences. This belief drives her commitment to creating a safe, nurturing environment at Learning Grove ABA, where children can explore independently and thrive.

The mission of Learning Grove ABA is to provide the community with the connections that families and children affected by Autism often seek, while offering a more holistic approach to therapy. Gabby’s ultimate goal is to give children a space of their own that fosters independence, growth, and joy in learning.
