What is early intervention ABA?
Early intervention is ABA therapy delivered during the preschool years, when young brains are most adaptable. Using play-based, naturalistic teaching, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) builds a plan that targets communication, social interaction, play, and daily-living skills — setting a strong foundation for school and beyond.
Why early matters
Research consistently shows that earlier, intensive ABA leads to better outcomes in language, learning, and independence. Starting young helps close developmental gaps before they widen and prepares children for a smoother transition into school.
What early intervention targets
- First words, requesting, and early communication (including PECS where helpful)
- Joint attention, imitation, and play skills
- Following simple directions and early learning readiness
- Toileting, dressing, and mealtime routines
- Reducing challenging behavior and building emotional regulation
How our program works
After a free consultation and insurance verification, a BCBA completes a developmental assessment and designs an individualized plan. Therapy is delivered one-to-one — in your home, in our center, or via telehealth — with parent coaching built in.
Insurance & getting started
Most Illinois insurance plans cover medically necessary ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism. We verify your benefits at no cost and help you start quickly — because in early intervention, timing matters.
Frequently asked questions
What age is best to start ABA?
As early as possible. We specialize in ages 2 to 6, but ABA helps children through age 16.
Do you need an autism diagnosis to start?
Insurance coverage for ABA generally requires an autism diagnosis. If you are still in the evaluation process, contact us and we will guide you on next steps.
How many hours will my young child need?
Hours are individualized after a BCBA assessment and adjusted as your child progresses.
