I know that when your child is diagnosed with autism, you want them to receive support and therapy that truly meet their unique needs. You want guidance you can trust, clear communication, and a professional who understands your family and works with you every step of the way.
But it’s not always easy to know where to begin. Many parents feel overwhelmed, unsure of what services their child needs, or how to help them make progress at home. This can lead to frustration and worry about the future — feelings no parent should carry alone.
That’s why I provide in-home ABA therapy and parent coaching through Alon Behavior Consulting. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative environment where you feel confident, informed, and empowered to help your child grow. Together, we focus on meaningful, practical skills that make a real difference in everyday life for your child and your family.

How we can
help
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a systematic and evidence-based approach used to improve socially significant behaviors in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. Moreover, ABA therapy focuses on understanding how behavior is influenced by the environment and uses principles of learning theory to teach new skills while also reducing challenging behaviors.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is typically diagnosed through a comprehensive evaluation process that involves various healthcare professionals, such as pediatricians, child psychologists, developmental pediatricians, and neurologists. The diagnostic process may include the following components:
Developmental Screening: Pediatricians often conduct routine developmental screenings during well-child visits to monitor a child’s growth and development. If any concerns are raised during these screenings, further evaluation for autism may be recommended. Moreover, this additional evaluation is crucial for ensuring an accurate diagnosis.
Early signs of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can vary widely among children, but some common indicators may include:
Limited or No Eye Contact: Infants may avoid making eye contact with caregivers during interactions, or they may have difficulty sustaining eye contact for extended periods. Additionally, this lack of eye contact can be an early warning sign of ASD.
Lack of Social Responsiveness: Babies may not respond to their name being called, show little interest in social interactions, or have limited facial expressions when interacting with others. Furthermore, these behaviors may indicate underlying social and communication challenges.
Yes, insurance coverage for ABA therapy varies by provider and plan. In Illinois, many insurance plans are required to cover ABA therapy for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) under state law. Furthermore, steps for obtaining coverage typically include verifying insurance coverage, obtaining a diagnosis, requesting a referral or authorization, finding an in-network ABA provider, submitting documentation, reviewing coverage details, and initiating therapy services.
