Our Approach to Autism Therapy
At Chicago ABA Therapy, we embrace a distinctive approach to autism therapy. Our mission is to offer individualized support to children with Autism through the transformative power of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. As part of the CST Academy family, we extend our expertise beyond ABA therapy to include speech, occupational, physical therapy, and more, ensuring comprehensive care under one roof.
Tailored Autism Care for Every Child
We believe in the uniqueness of each child, understanding that every child has their own set of strengths, challenges, and ways of seeing the world. This belief is at the core of our approach, where our skilled Board Certified Board Analysts (BCBAs) craft personalized care plans in collaboration with parents. Our therapy is not a one-size-fits-all; it's a journey tailored to fit the unique needs and potential of each child we have the privilege of working with.
Play-Based ABA Therapy
Recognizing that children learn best through play, our therapy sessions are designed to spark joy and foster natural learning. Using the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), among other evidence-based techniques, our team creates engaging, play-based learning experiences. This method facilitates skill acquisition and ensures that each child's therapy is a joyful, enriching experience.
Celebrating Neurodiversity
At Chicago ABA Therapy, we view autism through a neurodiverse-affirming lens, celebrating each child's individuality and strengths. Our approach is built on the understanding that an autism diagnosis does not define a child; instead, it gives us insight into their unique way of learning and interacting with the world. Our goal is to empower each child to develop into their authentic self, capable of building relationships and navigating their community with confidence.
Our Program Guarantees Success for Every Child
Family Collaboration in ABA Therapy
We believe that collaboration with families is critical to the success of our therapy programs. Parents and caregivers are integral members of the therapy team, and their insights and participation are valued every step of the way. Through regular communication and shared goal-setting, we ensure that our therapy extends beyond our centers and into the homes and lives of the families we serve.
Multidisciplinary Therapy for Autism
Our team's multidisciplinary expertise is a cornerstone of our approach. By bringing together specialists in behavior analysis, speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, and more, we provide a holistic approach to each child’s development. This collaborative effort ensures that we address all aspects of a child's growth, from communication and social skills to physical development and beyond.
Commitment to Excellence
Chicago ABA Therapy is dedicated to providing exceptional care and support to children with ASD and their families. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our state-of-the-art facilities, our team's ongoing training and development, and our continuous pursuit of innovative therapies that meet the diverse needs of the children we serve.
"We were so happy with our experience with Chicago ABA. We began working with them when our son was almost 4, a few months after his autism diagnosis. It was such an amazing team to work with - everyone was professional, responsive, flexible, and worked so hard for our son to meet his goals, which he did beautifully. We worked together for almost 2 years before he left for kindergarten, and in that time period he met almost all of his goals. We went through several bumps in the road with behavioral difficulties, and the Chicago ABA team did an amazing job helping us problem solve, try new strategies and think of ways to translate those strategies at home. We couldn't recommend them more highly - anyone who works with Chicago ABA will be lucky to have the experience!"
"Chicago ABA Therapy is a boon for special needs kids and parents. They take a play-based, personalized approach and meet the kids where they are. They also go above and beyond - our ABA therapist took time to make sure we as parents understood every aspect of our child's experience, understood how to read his progress reports and generally made us feel a part of his therapy. My child loved all his therapists. Highly recommend the team!"
