Passionate About
At Early Autism Services, we’re passionate about the potential within your child. Since our founding in 2008, we have believed that the best way to develop that potential is through a proactive, personalized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy program. This approach helps enable families to work 1:1 with licensed professionals. We offer high-quality ABA therapy in Chicago, as well as throughout the United States, Australia, and India.
What Is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis therapy is a treatment for autism that aims to increase positive behaviors and decrease negative ones. Our autism ABA therapy in Chicago will help your child develop or improve their language and communication and other social skills, such as making eye contact. Our services are flexible and use decades of research to help your child rise to their fullest potential.

In-Home ABA Therapy vs. Telehealth vs. Center-Based Therapy?
Whether you choose in-home, telehealth or center-based therapy, all our autism treatments in Chicago are great options for an effective ABA program. When your child participates in our autism home services, they will experience benefits such as the following:
- Our Behavior Technicians will structure treatment around everyday occurrences in the home.
- The therapist will have more opportunities for teaching skills that your child uses at home.
- Your child’s therapist will have greater insight into your child’s behaviors in a comfortable and familiar environment.
If you enroll your child in therapy at our ABA therapy center in Palatine or Franklin Park, they may gain benefits such as the following:
- Center-based therapy offers a safe, structured environment, making it ideal if your child will be attending school soon and needs to adjust to the routine of going to a separate location to learn.
- Your child will have more chances for socialization among their peers or our therapists.
- Our centers may offer less of a distraction than performing therapy services in the home.
For those who live in a remote area or have travel difficulties, telehealth may be the best option for you and your child. Some benefits of this service include:
- Your therapist will have a better understanding of any changes they need to make to your child’s therapy plan, especially if their behavior changes during observation.
- There is no need for travel or wait time, allowing for more scheduling opportunities.
- Family members who cannot make an appointment at one of our clinics can attend and interact with your child or ask the therapist questions.
Every child is different, and the true advantages of our services will depend on your child’s specific needs.
