In-Home ABA Therapy in Aurora, Illinois
Few cities in Illinois are divided the way Aurora is: it spans four counties — Kane, DuPage, Kendall, and Will. Believing is Achieving serves families in all of them, in their own homes, with no clinic, no waitlist, a BCBA owner, and a therapist the family selects.
Serving Aurora families at home
Four counties is not a trivia fact here — it is the practical reason a service-area provider suits an Aurora family better than a single-location clinic. A clinic sits in one county and asks everyone else to drive to it. We start from the household and work outward, so a family near Kendall County and a family on the DuPage side receive the same service without either one absorbing the commute.
About 181,000 people live here, making Aurora the second-largest city in Illinois, and its schools are split accordingly. The Fox River divides West Aurora School District 129 from East Aurora Public School District 131. Indian Prairie School District 204 covers much of the east side, and Oswego Community Unit School District 308 reaches into southern portions. Four districts means four sets of procedures, timelines, and personalities in an IEP room, which is worth knowing before you walk into one.
What a child needs to do in Aurora shapes the program we write. The Fox Valley Park District serves more than 230,000 people across 65 square miles and runs Blackberry Farm. Phillips Park and the Phillips Park Zoo make short, repeatable community outings. Downtown offers the Paramount Theatre, the Santori Public Library, and Stolp Island. Each of those is somewhere a family wants to be able to go without dread, and that is the standard we hold a goal to.
Why families in Aurora choose in-home ABA
A drive that crosses a county line twice a week is a drive most families eventually cannot sustain, and attendance is where clinic-based plans quietly fall apart. Delivering every session in the home removes that failure point entirely and teaches skills in the place they are meant to be used.
Alongside that: the practice answers to a BCBA owner rather than an investor group, there is no waitlist to sit on while your child waits, and the therapist is your choice, not an assignment handed down by a scheduler.

Insurance for Aurora families
We hold in-network agreements with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, and Optum.

Benefits still differ plan to plan, so we verify yours at no cost — details on our insurance page.

Common questions from Aurora parents
Do you serve every part of Aurora?
Yes. Aurora spans Kane, DuPage, Kendall, and Will counties, and we serve households in all four. Because our clinicians travel to homes rather than asking families to reach one building, which side of a county line your street sits on has no bearing on whether we can work with you.
Which Aurora school districts do you support?
Four of them: West Aurora School District 129 and East Aurora Public School District 131, divided by the Fox River, plus Indian Prairie School District 204 on the east side and Oswego Community Unit School District 308 in southern portions. We will attend an IEP meeting in any of them with families who want us present.
Is ABA therapy at home covered for Aurora families?
In most cases, yes. We are in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, and Optum. Illinois requires state-regulated plans to cover autism treatment including ABA, and a 2022 amendment confirmed insurers may not deny covered services because they are delivered at home.
