Our Proven Approach to Autism Therapy

Our Proven Approach
to Autism Care

At CST Academy, we believe every child deserves a personalized path to success. Our approach combines evidence-based therapies, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Occupational Therapy (OT), Physical Therapy (PT), and Speech Therapy (ST), within a nurturing therapeutic preschool environment.
By embracing a neurodiverse-affirming philosophy, we support your child's unique strengths while addressing their individual needs. Our goal is to provide a holistic and compassionate experience that fosters meaningful growth and development for your child and family.

Our Approach

We love helping families just like yours

We highly recommend trusting CST Academy with your child's physical therapy. Hearing your baby isn't meeting milestones is scary and upsetting, but CST Academy walked us through the entire process calmly and professionally. They got back to us within a business day and were able to schedule an evaluation in a fraction of the time we were quoted by several other practices.

My two young sons have attended CST Academy in Chicago and Northbrook for preschool, ABA, OT, and speech. I have had experience with most of the big autism companies in the area, and can tell you CST Academy is the best. They hire the best therapists from the BCBAs to the RBTs and techs. I've never had a bad experience with anyone. And both our kids were always so happy to get dropped off.

My son has attended CST Academy as soon as he hit 2 years old and has just recently graduated. He's received everything from Speech, Occupational, and Physical therapy services as well as ABA. I am so so thankful for CST Academy and its staff.
