ABA Therapy for Children with Autism in Lincoln Park

We provide ABA therapy for children as young as infants in Early Intervention (0–3 years), all the way through school-aged children. Early intervention is especially powerful as studies show that children who start ABA therapy at a young age make the most progress in communication, learning, and independence.

ABA therapy is most often recommended for children with an autism diagnosis, but it can also help with:

• Communication delays
• Social skill challenges
• Sensory regulation needs
• Difficulty with daily routines (like toileting, feeding, or sleeping)

If you’re noticing delays or behaviors that concern you, we encourage you to schedule a consultation. Even if your child doesn’t have a formal diagnosis yet, our team can guide you through the next steps and evaluations.

Yes. In Illinois, most major insurance providers cover ABA therapy for children with an autism diagnosis. At CPTWC, we are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Aetna, and more.

Our team will help verify your benefits, handle authorizations, and make the process as smooth as possible so you can focus on your child’s progress.

Every child is different. After an initial assessment, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) will recommend a schedule tailored to your child’s needs.

Some children thrive with 10–15 hours per week, while others benefit from 25–40 hours of intensive ABA therapy. We’ll create a plan that works for your child and your family’s lifestyle.

Yes. While each child’s progress looks different, research consistently shows that ABA helps improve communication, learning, and daily functioning.

Absolutely. Parent involvement is one of the most important parts of successful ABA therapy. We encourage caregivers to join sessions, learn strategies, and practice at home.

We also provide parent training and coaching programs to help you feel confident supporting your child outside the clinic.

Our ABA team uses data-driven methods. Every session is tracked and reviewed by a BCBA to monitor growth in communication, social skills, self-care, and behavior.

We meet with parents regularly to share updates, celebrate wins, and adjust goals as needed. You’ll always know exactly how your child is doing.

Many centers offer ABA therapy — but at Chicago Pediatric Therapy & Wellness Center, we provide a multidisciplinary approach.

That means your child’s ABA therapist collaborates with speech therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and social workers under one roof. This coordinated care model is rare and ensures your child gets the most well-rounded support possible.

We know families often face long waitlists at other providers. At CPTWC, we do our best to get children started quickly.

Once we’ve completed the consultation, insurance verification, and assessment, we can usually begin therapy within just a few weeks.
