We understand that an autism diagnosis can lead to complex feelings, questions, and a deep desire for the best future for your child. Autism cannot be detected through any medical tests, so psychologists and doctors will observe your child's behavior and their progress in reaching certain developmental milestones in order to determine a diagnosis. They will assess communication and social challenges and interview parents about restricted interests or maladaptive behaviors, among other diagnostic criteria. From there, your child will receive a diagnosis of ASD 1, 2, or 3, which indicate how much support they will need moving forward.
While we specialize in support services post-diagnosis through ABA therapy, we are also here to guide families in Illinois through the initial step of obtaining an accurate Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis. Our dedication to your child’s well-being extends beyond therapy; it begins the moment you start seeking answers.

Our ServicesApplied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the gold standard of therapy for children with autism and has been proven to be effective in helping children build essential skills and reach developmental milestones. By using evidence-based procedures and techniques, ABA therapy breaks down complex tasks and goals into smaller, manageable steps. A trained ABA therapist then uses shaping, modeling, and positive reinforcement, like rewards, to encourage desired behaviors and teach new skills.
ABA has been proven to improve attention, focus, social skills, and memory, as well as teach children other coping strategies and communication to reduce challenging behaviors such as tantrums and non-compliance. Our focus is on helping your child make positive progress to help them succeed in the future.
ABA therapy is widely recognized as the most scientifically validated therapy available for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Simple Answer: Yes
Extensive research indicates that children who have undergone two or more years of intensive behavioral intervention have shown remarkable progress. ABA therapy remains one of the few evidence-based approaches to autism treatment, recognized and covered by both Federal/State agencies and commercial insurance. With the help of expert BCBAs and RBTs, ABA therapy can greatly improve the lives of children with autism and their families.
The focus of ABA therapy will depend on the specific needs of your child, but often include:
(expressive and receptive language)
(initiating conversation, responding to questions from peers, interactive play)
(toileting, feeding, bathing)
(attending transitions, group instruction, routine, academic foundations)
(tantrums, non-compliance, self-injury, elopement)
