Why Families Choose CST Academy

Here is what actually happens inside our building that you will not find at other ABA providers.

Child in ABA therapy session

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.

Jhonna W.
Bucktown
✓ Graduated and transitioned to Chicago Public 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.

Chinara K.
Wicker Park
✓ Program graduate, kindergarten-ready

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.

Insurance for ABA Therapy in Chicago

We verify your benefits, manage pre-authorization, and handle billing so you do not have to.

BCBS PPO In-Network

We verify your benefits before your child starts and explain exactly what is covered. Many families have low or no out-of-pocket costs depending on their specific plan.

Illinois law requires commercial insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for children with an autism spectrum diagnosis. Most families with employer-sponsored insurance have coverage.
