Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based treatment that is effective for people of all ages (from early childhood through adulthood), can involve one-to-one teaching or group instruction, and is provided in a variety of settings (e.g., clinics, homes, and schools). The goal of ABA therapy is to increase helpful, meaningful behavior and skills, and to reduce behavior that is harmful or negatively affects the individual. Each program is written to meet the needs of each individual learner.
Reduce Challenging Behaviors: By equipping learners with effective communication skills to express their wants and needs, fostering safe and enjoyable interactions with themselves and others, and empowering them to independently accomplish daily tasks, substantial reductions in challenging or harmful behaviors are often observed.
More often than not, the core causes of these behaviors are unmet needs a learner is attempting to communicate. However, there can be several causes. ABA therapy offers valuable tools to comprehend the root of the behavior and better understand the learners' needs while providing them with the necessary skills to express their needs safely.

ABA Therapy helps us to understand how behavior works, how behavior is affected by the environment, and how learning takes place.
ABA programs are data-driven to measure success and adjust programming if the treatment is ineffective.
Caregiver involvement is an important component of therapy, as it assists learners in generalizing acquired skills outside a therapy session. Caregivers and family members receive training to support learning and skill practice throughout the day.
Not when it comes to YOUR child.
Hear from autism parents who have been through the struggles of insurance, intensive behaviors, and learning to empower their children. By taking advantage of all the hours and therapies available to their children, they have watched them thrive.

Your child’s recommended ABA therapy hours depend on their individual needs and goals. At Behavioral Perspective (BPI), a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) completes an initial assessment to recommend an appropriate treatment plan. Recommendations consider your child’s strengths, communication, daily living skills, and areas where support may help. Your BCBA will also discuss school, other therapies, family routines, and time for play and rest.
An individualized assessment can help determine whether ABA therapy is appropriate for your child. If your autistic child needs support with communication, everyday routines, social interaction, or independence, BPI’s team can help you explore options. A BCBA evaluates your child’s skills and needs before recommending services. Share what matters most to your family, including activities your child enjoys and situations they find difficult.
The time it takes to start ABA therapy depends on insurance verification, assessment scheduling, any required authorizations, and service availability. BPI’s New Client Liaisons help families understand the intake process and next steps. Contact our team for current availability at your preferred Illinois or South Austin, Texas, location and an estimate based on your child’s circumstances. Complete our Get Started form to begin the process.
BPI’s New Client Liaisons can help verify whether your insurance plan covers ABA therapy. Coverage and accepted plans can vary by location and individual policy. Our team can help you understand applicable benefits, referral and authorization requirements, and potential out-of-pocket costs, such as deductibles, copays, or coinsurance. Review the insurance information on our About BPI page, then call (224) 760-4279 or complete our Get Started form to discuss your specific plan.
A formal autism diagnosis is generally required for insurance-covered ABA therapy for autism. Your insurance plan may also require specific diagnostic documentation, a referral, or prior authorization. BPI’s intake team can help clarify your plan’s requirements before services begin.
If your child has not received a diagnosis, Foundations, BPI’s sister company, provides comprehensive autism evaluations at our West Chicago, Illinois, clinic. Learn more about autism diagnostic testing through Foundations or contact our team for help with next steps.
Age alone does not determine whether ABA therapy will be helpful for your child. Early intervention can support learning during important developmental years, but each child’s needs and response to therapy are different. Older children may also benefit from support with communication, daily routines, and independence.
An individualized assessment helps determine appropriate goals and whetheare a good fit for your child’s current needs. Connect with our team to discuss age eligibility and available programs at your preferred location.
We believe that every child has potential to reach new levels of independence, grow in effective communication, and acquire new, valuable skills. In fact, our organization exists because we believe those things. We want to partner with you to ensure that every child grows, learns, and experiences quality of life.
