In-Home ABA Therapy in Frankfort, Illinois
Believing is Achieving provides ABA therapy in Frankfort homes. A behavior analyst owns the practice, there is no waiting list, every hour is delivered at your address, and you meet the therapist before agreeing to the match.
Two paths through the same village
Frankfort holds about 20,300 residents across parts of Will and Cook counties, and the school picture divides along lines most newcomers never see. Frankfort District 157C and Summit Hill School District 161 both stop at eighth grade and both send their graduates to Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210, with Lincoln-Way East High School located in the village. Elementary School District 159 covers a portion of Frankfort and hands its students to Rich Township High School District 227 instead.
So two children who play on the same cul-de-sac can enter ninth grade under different boards, with different special education leadership and different meeting cultures. When an IEP crosses that kind of line, continuity has to come from somewhere outside the school system. We hold the history: what was tried, what worked at home, what the data says. Parents can ask us to review the draft plan, help prepare what they want in writing, and attend the meeting with them, which our IEP and school collaboration page sets out in detail.
Therapy at your kitchen table
Our clinicians work inside the rooms where the difficulty actually happens. Dressing in a bedroom that is already cluttered, brushing teeth in the family's real bathroom, handling a change of plan on a Saturday morning — these are the moments a clinic can only approximate. We work on them as they occur.
Frankfort also gives families good places to extend a skill once it is steady. The Grainery and the historic downtown make a short, predictable walk. Breidert Green is open and familiar. The Old Plank Road Trail runs 22 paved miles for a family that wants distance without traffic, and Commissioners Park has the room for a first try at a busy playground. The Frankfort Park District and the separate Frankfort Square Park District each run programs depending on where you live, and the Frankfort Public Library District keeps a dedicated Youth Services department worth knowing about.

Questions from Frankfort parents
Do all Frankfort children attend Lincoln-Way schools?
Most, but not all. Frankfort District 157C and Summit Hill School District 161 are both kindergarten through eighth grade districts that feed Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210, and Lincoln-Way East High School sits in Frankfort. Elementary School District 159 serves a portion of the village and sends its students to Rich Township High School District 227 instead.
Why does Frankfort have two park districts?
The Frankfort Park District serves the village, and the separate Frankfort Square Park District serves unincorporated Frankfort Square. They are distinct agencies with their own programs, so families who move a short distance sometimes find their recreation options change along with their address.
Can therapy happen while my younger children are home?
Yes, and it often helps. Siblings are part of the household your child is learning to live in, so their presence makes practice realistic rather than disruptive. We plan around your routine, not against it.
