How ABA Therapy at CST Academy Works
From your first call to your child's first session, every step is simple.
with a BCBAWithin 24 hours
Enrollment for spring is filling up. Spots are limited at each location to ensure individualized, consistent care.
Your first call is just a conversation about your child, with no commitment. We conduct evaluations in-house and handle all insurance paperwork so you do not have to.
Why Families Choose CST Academy
Here is what actually happens inside our building that you will not find at other ABA providers.
A Team That Knows Your Child by Name
Our clinical team stays small on purpose. Your child's BCBA, speech therapist, and occupational therapist see the same kids every day, not a rotating roster of strangers.
You Stay in the Loop, Every Step
Your BCBA shares regular progress updates, walks you through data on your child's goals, and includes you in care planning decisions.
Real-Time Collaboration, Not Email Updates
When your child's speech therapist notices a breakthrough at 10 AM, your BCBA incorporates it into the afternoon ABA session. Therapists in the same hallway, problem-solving together in real time.
Measurable Progress You Can See
Every session is tracked against your child's individual goals. This is not guesswork. It is evidence-based care with numbers behind it.
What Chicago Families Say About CST Academy
Real parents, real progress, real results from integrated ABA therapy.
My son graduated from CST Academy after receiving ABA, speech, occupational therapy, and physical therapy all in one place. The team prepared him beautifully for his transition to CPS schools.
We could not be more grateful. He started attending when he turned 3, and after years of love, care, and support, he graduated. The ABA therapists were outstanding — especially Kiley.
My two young sons attended CST for ABA, OT, and speech. I have had experience with most of the big autism companies in the area, and CST is the best. Both kids were always so happy to get dropped off.
