BY YOUR SIDE – Autism Therapy Services in Tinley Park, IL, has been dedicated to meeting the needs of individuals/families on the autism spectrum since 2009. We understand that autism is a complex disorder, and effective treatment requires a comprehensive approach specifically designed to meet the needs of the individual, as well as the family.
Our multidisciplinary program includes ABA, occupational, and speech-language therapies, along with family services. Our dedicated team has expertise in the four hallmark characteristics of autism: communication, social interactions, maladaptive behaviors, and sensory. We also offer our comprehensive approach in a variety of settings – in-center, in-home, and in the community.
At BY YOUR SIDE, every journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation led by a qualified ABA therapist. This initial assessment helps identify a child’s strengths, challenges, and long-term developmental goals. From there, we build a tailored ABA therapy program that supports meaningful progress at every stage.
Each ABA therapy session is individualized to support the specific needs of the child and family. Whether focusing on language development, daily living skills, or behavior regulation, sessions are guided by evidence-based ABA therapy techniques, such as discrete trial training and naturalistic teaching. These sessions promote growth through structured activities and play-based strategies designed to encourage positive reinforcement and long-term skill retention.
Our team draws from a range of interventions to address each unique developmental profile for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Every plan and ABA technique is grounded in clinical insight and family collaboration.
Our multidisciplinary team also integrates services like speech and occupational therapy to offer a truly holistic approach. Therapy may address speech clarity, motor skills, sensory integration, and feeding concerns, depending on the needs of the child with autism. We focus on practical progress – reducing challenging behavior, improving independence, and increasing participation in home, school, and community life.
Caregivers play an essential role throughout this process. BYS empowers parents and guardians through active participation in therapy planning and regular coaching. This involvement is key to reinforcing ABA techniques at home and helping children with autism generalize skills across environments.
Families in Tinley Park can choose from multiple therapy settings that support development across daily routines. Each setting is designed to meet the unique needs of children while creating natural learning opportunities.
In-Center Therapy takes place in welcoming, themed environments like our indoor playground, Train and Puzzle Room or Club Chill – spaces created to foster language, emotional regulation, and social engagement. These centers are equipped to deliver structured activities and 1:1 ABA therapy services using a wide range of center-based autism therapy tools and visual supports.
In-Home ABA therapy brings services into the comfort of your home, helping children develop skills through familiar routines such as mealtime, self-care, and transitions. This format supports the use of learned behaviors across real-world environments and makes therapy directly relevant to family life.
Community-based therapy focuses on practicing learned skills in real-world settings. From visiting a local grocery store to engaging in play at a nearby park, therapists help clients build confidence and independence outside the therapy room. This bridge between therapeutic goals and daily experiences enhances social fluency and long-term outcomes.
This combination of in-center, in-home, and community sessions allows children to receive autism therapy in Tinley Park that reflects their environment, developmental stage, and family priorities.
