A Tapestry of Stories: The Transformative Power of ABA Therapy

Every child at Chicago ABA Therapy has a unique story—full of challenges, triumphs, and dreams for the future. Our ABA therapists and BCBAs develop individualized treatment plans tailored to each child’s needs, helping them build the skills necessary for success. Let’s take a look at a few of their inspiring stories:

Sarah, BCBA:

“I worked with a young boy who had difficulty with transitions, often becoming upset when it was time to move from one activity to another. Through consistent reinforcement and gradual exposure, we were able to teach him strategies to manage his emotions. The first time he transitioned calmly was a breakthrough moment, and his parents were thrilled to see his progress. It reminded me of the lasting impact ABA therapy can have on a child’s daily life.”

David, ABA Therapist:

“One of my most memorable experiences was working with a nonverbal child. After months of using visual supports and communication devices, we started to see him engage more with his surroundings. The day he used his device to ask for a favorite snack was unforgettable. It was a small step, but it opened the door to more communication and connection with his family. Moments like that make all the hard work worth it.”

Emily, BCBA:

“I once worked with a young girl who had challenges with social interactions. Over time, we used social stories and role-playing activities to help her understand social cues and practice interacting with her peers. The first time she joined a group of children playing at the park, her parents were overjoyed. Seeing her confidence grow and knowing she could now make meaningful connections with others was a powerful reminder of how life-changing ABA therapy can be.”

"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!"

"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!"
