In-Home ABA Therapy in Bloomingdale, Illinois
Believing is Achieving works with Bloomingdale families inside their homes. No center, no waitlist, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst owns the practice, and the family helps decide which therapist walks through the door.
Five districts in, two districts out
Depending on the street, a Bloomingdale child attends Bloomingdale School District 13, which runs DuJardin Elementary School, Erickson Elementary School, and Westfield Middle School, or Community Consolidated School District 93, Keeneyville School District 20, Marquardt School District 15, or Medinah School District 11. Every one of those five stops at eighth grade. High school is then either Glenbard Township High School District 87 or Lake Park Community High School District 108, whose Lake Park High School sits in neighboring Roselle.
For a parent tracking an IEP, that is five possible starting points funneling into two different ninth-grade destinations. The staff who wrote your child's goals are not the staff who will implement them in high school, and the building is often in a different town entirely. We treat that transition as something to prepare for a year ahead: reviewing the plan, deciding what has to be written rather than assumed, and sitting at the table with you when the new team meets your child for the first time. That is our IEP and school collaboration work.
Care delivered inside the village
Bloomingdale has around 22,500 residents and a long history — the original 1833 settlement here was called Meacham's Grove. Old Town Bloomingdale, at Lake Street and Bloomingdale Road, preserves restored buildings from that founding period, and its small scale makes it an easy place for a child to attempt a short community outing.
Most of the work, though, happens indoors at your address. A therapist arrives, and the session is built out of your child's real day rather than a set of exercises: getting dressed, asking for what they want, tolerating a change in plan, playing beside a brother or sister without it ending badly. Between sessions, the Bloomingdale Park District, which operates its own museum and aquatic facilities, and the 35,000 square foot Bloomingdale Public Library offer places to try those skills where the stakes are low.
Our four commitments
Everything happens in the home, because that is where the skills have to hold up.
The company is owned by a BCBA, so a clinician sets the clinical direction. Nobody is asked to wait in a line. And you have a say in the therapist who will be part of your household for months.

Insurance for Bloomingdale families
Our in-network plans include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, and Optum. Illinois requires state-regulated policies to cover autism diagnosis and treatment including ABA, and since the 2022 amendment a plan cannot single out home delivery as a reason to deny a covered service. Because the fine print differs, we verify your benefits before any commitment. The insurance page has the steps.

Questions from Bloomingdale parents
Which districts serve Bloomingdale?
Five elementary districts and two high school districts. The elementary districts, none of which run a high school, are Bloomingdale School District 13, Community Consolidated School District 93, Keeneyville School District 20, Marquardt School District 15, and Medinah School District 11. High school students attend either Glenbard Township High School District 87 or Lake Park Community High School District 108, whose Lake Park High School is in Roselle.
Which schools are in Bloomingdale School District 13?
DuJardin Elementary School, Erickson Elementary School, and Westfield Middle School. The district covers the elementary and middle years only, so its students continue into a separate high school district afterward.
Can a session work around a sibling's schedule?
Yes, and it usually has to. We schedule around school pickup, naps, and the rest of what a household is already committed to, because a session that fights the family calendar is a session that gets cancelled.
