Our ABA Model

Appled Behavior Analysis Therapy in Illinois Autism Center

We offer a unique approach to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in which we emphasize socially significant behaviors, which are behaviors that are not only meaningful to the child but impactful in their successful navigation and interaction with their environment.

Our Chicago center’s ABA model is as diverse and dynamic as our beautiful city. We don’t simply implement generic ABA principles but tailor our approach to fit each child’s unique needs and the city’s rich cultural and educational resources.

Our team of professionals leverages the city’s parks, communities, and cultural events in our ABA programs, making learning a real-world, exciting experience for our children.

Playful and Child-Centered Approach

We understand the importance of making learning engaging and enjoyable for children. By prioritizing your child’s enjoyment during the therapeutic process, we can focus on fostering skills that are socially significant in an exciting and fun way. This approach ensures that our young learners are enjoying every step of the way as participants in their developmental growth.

Assent-Based Approach

We also prioritize an assent-based approach, emphasizing the importance of valuing our children’s input by ensuring their consent and active participation in their own therapy process. We believe that for ABA therapy to be truly effective, it must involve the child in a way that their preferences are considered and honored.

This method promotes an atmosphere of active participation and collaboration in which children feel seen and heard. Our carefully crafted therapeutic spaces facilitate each child’s autonomy, nurturing a sense of ownership over their learning journey.

Use of Technology in Learning

By integrating learning apps into our program, we provide our clients opportunities to easily generalize their new skills to more environmental settings – ensuring that learning becomes a constant, accessible, and enjoyable part of their daily lives across multiple contexts. Aiming to engage children in a way that traditional methods may not, our innovative use of digital tools breaks down barriers to learning and empowers them to thrive in the digital age.

Family Support and Training

We provide extensive training and support for family members because we know how important they are to the therapeutic process. Our goal is to inspire families to be active participants in their child’s development, equipping them with the tools necessary to reinforce learning outside our clinic. Through close collaboration with families, we aim to ensure that the strategies used in our programs are extended into the home and community, creating a consistent and supportive environment for the child.

Our unique ABA model is a testament to our unwavering commitment to every child’s distinct learning journey. Our focus remains unchanging: To ensure each child feels understood, supported, and empowered to engage with their world confidently.

We invite you to be a part of our journey to experience the extraordinary blend of personalized therapy and community integration that defines our Chicago center.
