Autism Treatment in Glenview

Owing to the need to provide early intervention therapies as soon as possible, Caper ABA Therapy provides families throughout Chicago with access to ABA therapy, one of the most common, evidence-based therapies for autism spectrum disorder. 

• ABA Therapy: Our primary form of treatment is ABA therapy, which uses positive reinforcement to help children with autism spectrum disorder recognize and repeat desired behaviors.
• Speech Therapy: At our facility and through our at-home services, we also incorporate speech therapy as a central component to autism treatment, helping to address challenges with verbal, nonverbal, and social communication. The methods for speech therapy will vary from one child to another and might include speech-language Pathologists to help children improve their articulation, skill building, such as understanding body language, or the use of alternative communication methods like picture exchange communication systems (PECS) for children who have limited or no verbal skills. 
• Occupational Therapy (OT): At Caper ABA Therapy, we also offer OT to focus on helping individuals develop skills for daily living and functional activities. This can extend to fine motor skills like buttoning a shirt or holding a pencil, gross motor skills like walking, and even sensory processing. The goal is to help your child improve their ability to fully participate in daily activities both at home and in school.
• Extra Curricular: Our extra-curricular therapy addresses challenges with gross motor skills, balance, coordination, and posture. This includes teen social groups to build socialization, culturally sensitive and socially accepting services, sports therapy for autism, and other extra-curricular therapy to complement things like occupational therapy, speech therapy, and ABA therapy. It helps individuals improve their physical strength and social skills, which can increase their participation in physical activities and improve social interactions and daily routines. 

At Caper ABA Therapy, we provide ABA therapy for children in need and are expanding to include speech therapy, occupational therapy, and unique extracurriculars (sports, swimming) for special needs children. 

Our goal is to meet families where they are, which is why we provide access to in-center therapy for children between 2 and 7 years of age, and out-of-center care for those up to age 21. We plan teen social groups to support families concerned about social development. We also offer culturally sensitive services, including Arabic language and mosque visits.

We know that paying for high-intensity ABA therapy might seem out of budget for many, which is why we provide financial assistance and grants so that care is available regardless of income. With our financial support and Medicaid navigation, our team aims to ensure accessibility.
