About Autism Center of Illinois

They say the bumblebee shouldn't be able to fly, given the size of its wings with respect to its body. But in reality, this isn't true. Bumblebees can and do fly all the time. You may have heard someone tell you your child will never be able to do something, but we're here to tell you that isn't necessarily so. We're here to support you and your family in empowering your child to reach new heights. The Autism Center offers comprehensive Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy across Sterling, Rock Falls, Dixon, and surrounding areas including direct, one-to-one therapy services, in-depth caregiver training as well as consultation services. ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on improving socially significant behaviors by breaking down complex skills into smaller components and using positive reinforcement to teach and reinforce those skills. ABA therapy is most commonly used as a treatment for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but it can also be used to treat other developmental and behavioral disorders. ABA therapy involves observing the individual in various settings and gathering data on their behavior. This information is used to create a treatment plan that is tailored to the individual's needs and goals. The therapy involves teaching new skills and behaviors, reinforcing appropriate behaviors, and decreasing unwanted or maladaptive behaviors. The therapy can be implemented in a one-on-one, small group, or larger classroom or community setting. ABA therapy is evidence-based, meaning that it has been extensively researched and has a significant amount of scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness. The treatment has been shown to improve communication, social skills, adaptive behaviors, and reduce problem behaviors in individuals with ASD and other developmental disorders.
