An Open Letter to Parents
Welcome to ABC Therapy Clinics, an organization dedicated to providing families and children with the highest quality applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy and treatment plans throughout the Chicagoland area.
It is our mission to cultivate a nurturing and individualized learning environment for each and every child that passes through our program.
Through our unique approach to ABA therapy for autism, we hope to create a new brand of treatment while providing the highest level of service by the most qualified, experienced behavioral professionals..
We are committed to that cause.
Our Definition of ABA Therapy Techniques and Treatment
One of the truly unique aspects of our practice is the definition of “treatment.” It is a standard practice among service providers of ABA therapy for autism to focus their goals on the development of the child. We will continue to support this goal by expanding our programs to address the needs of parents as well. We want to better understand the needs of our parents, and refine those needs into program objectives that advance and support the children in our programs. A properly supported and educated parent can carry out aspects of treatment in the natural environment that will greatly enhance the effectiveness of ABA therapy for developmental disorders. We hope to assist parents in cultivating the skills that are required to achieve a lifetime of the best possible results. The most effective program is one that involves the education and support of family members, which is why we prioritize the inclusion of caregivers in our ABA therapy techniques.
ABC Therapy Clinics’ Connections, Community and Care
In addition to reaching out to other like-minded ABA therapy organizations in Illinois (and the country) it’s important for us to make our own special impact on the autism world. Through our website and social media channels, we want to create a new culture surrounding the world of autism. We see our digital presence as more than a place to introduce our services; more importantly, they are forums where parents who have “been there before” can help guide caregivers just arriving at the scene to practical, “on the ground” advice and resources. We also intend to share ideas and stories from professionals, staff, and parents to provide the necessary support and education while maintaining the highest quality and most effective ABA therapy for autism.
We are excited at the potential of ABC Therapy Clinics, and we’re confident this will be a unique experience for everyone involved. ABC’s autism services fulfill high expectations and spur new ideas, where individuality and ingenuity are prized without sacrificing the fundamental principles and values that make ABA therapy for autism, the most effective treatment out there.
Finally, over the past decade I have spent providing autism services, I have learned a great deal of lessons about autism therapy, family dynamics, and the ways in which a well-created team of professionals interacts with any given family in their respective homes. My promise to you is that your family will always be treated with care, sensitivity, and respect because it is an honor and a privilege to be chosen to provide this service to your child. There is a great deal of responsibility that comes with our commitment, and my goal is to bring nothing but integrity to a field that was created first and foremost to help others.
It is my pleasure to welcome everyone to the ABC Therapy Clinic family!
Sincerely,
Joe Mitchell, BCBA
