At Caper ABA Services, our mission is simple yet deeply meaningful — to help children with autism and developmental differences thrive through compassionate, evidence-based care. Based in Chicago, we proudly serve children and families from diverse backgrounds with an unwavering commitment to accessibility, inclusion, and cultural sensitivity. As a trusted provider of ABA therapy in Illinois, we strive to ensure every child receives individualized support that meets their unique needs.
Applied Behavior Analysis is at the heart of what we do. However, our program extends far beyond therapy sessions — it’s a holistic approach to building skills, confidence, and meaningful connections. From early intervention in our state-of-the-art center to community-based programs for older children and teens, Caper ABA Services provides a continuum of care that grows alongside each child and family we serve.
Learn More About Our Program
What Is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientifically validated approach to understanding and improving behavior. ABA therapy services focus on how learning takes place and how behaviors can be strengthened, taught, or redirected through positive reinforcement and structured support.
At Caper ABA Services, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) design personalized programs that address communication skills, social skills, self-regulation, and daily living abilities. Every child’s treatment plan is individualized — there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we collaborate with parents, caregivers, and educators to identify goals that matter most for each family.
Our ABA sessions focus on real-world living skills — from building language and play to managing transitions and promoting independence. We celebrate progress at every step and ensure therapy remains engaging, positive, and child-centered.
Comprehensive Support
Supporting Teens & Families Through Social Development
As children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) grow, families often express concern about social opportunities during the teenage years. At Caper ABA Services, a trusted provider of ABA therapy in Illinois, we are developing teen social groups designed to support this important stage of development.
These groups will provide structured opportunities for teens to build friendships, practice social communication, and build confidence in community settings. Guided by trained therapists, the sessions will focus on practical skills such as conversation, self-advocacy, teamwork, and emotional regulation.
Equally important, our teen programs offer parents and caregivers a supportive community. This gives families a place to share experiences, strategies, and successes with others who understand their journey.
Make Sets Us Apart
A Holistic, Family-Centered Approach to ABA Therapy
At Caper ABA Services, we recognize that meaningful progress in therapy is not achieved in a vacuum, but through active family involvement. Our commitment to family support and engagement is a foundational part of our Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy approach. From the outset, we collaborate closely with parents to establish clear, achievable goals tailored to their child’s unique needs, carefully monitor the child’s progress, and celebrate each milestone.
We provide comprehensive parent training and support sessions designed to equip caregivers with practical, evidence-based strategies that can be easily integrated into daily routines at home and in the wider community. Our goal is to empower families across Chicagoland and Illinois, helping them feel knowledgeable, confident, and capable of fostering their child’s development beyond the therapy setting.
This family-centered philosophy ensures that every child benefits from consistent support both in therapy and in everyday environments. By building strong partnerships with families, we create a cohesive support network that enhances each child’s learning experience and promotes lasting, positive outcomes.
