In-Home ABA Therapy in Geneva, Illinois
Believing is Achieving brings ABA therapy to Geneva families at home. The practice is owned by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, we keep no waiting list, every session is in-home, and parents approve the therapist before the work starts.
The county seat, and the direction of travel
Geneva is where Kane County families already come. The courthouse is here, and so is a good share of the county's administrative and evaluation appointments. Parents of an autistic child accumulate those trips: the diagnostic appointment, the follow-up, the paperwork. Our part of it moves in the opposite direction. We drive to your house.
Doing it that way also removes the reason most practices keep a queue. A clinic can only run as many chairs as it built, and Illinois has 2,388 behavior analysts certified in state, 8.8 per 10,000 children where the national figure is 10.3 — roughly 1,130 children per analyst against 968 nationally. In the denser parts of the region that shortfall shows up as waits of six to twelve months. We would rather cap our own caseload honestly, which is what our no-waitlist policy means in practice.
Geneva 304 and your child's plan
Geneva Community Unit School District 304 spans kindergarten through twelfth grade as a single unit district. Families here are spared the ninth-grade transfer between separate elementary and high school districts that reshapes a team elsewhere in the region, and that continuity is worth something when an IEP has taken years to get right.
It does not make the plan run itself. Goals age out, staff rotate, and what was agreed verbally has a way of not appearing in the written document. We prepare with parents beforehand, keep the clinical picture consistent with what the school is seeing, and join meetings when a family wants us there. Details are on our IEP and school collaboration page.
Sessions in your Geneva home
A therapist works on what is actually hard in your house: the bath, the bus stop, the twenty minutes before a sibling's bedtime. The setting is the point. A skill that appears in the room where the difficulty lives does not have to be carried home from anywhere.
Later, when it fits the goals, Geneva supplies unhurried places to extend the work. The Fabyan Windmill and Fabyan Forest Preserve give a short outdoor outing with a clear end point. The historic Third Street district and the Kane County Courthouse make a walkable loop. Northwestern Medicine Field, home of the Kane County Cougars, is a manageable first crowd for a child building tolerance for noise. The Geneva Park District and the Geneva Public Library District cover most of the rest of an ordinary week.
How we practice
The commitments behind that: every session is delivered where your child lives, ownership sits with a behavior analyst, and the therapist is chosen with you.

Insurance for Geneva families
Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, and Optum are in-network. Illinois requires state-regulated plans to cover autism diagnosis and treatment including ABA, and the 2022 amendment to that mandate made clear a covered service cannot be denied because of where it is delivered. Coverage details still differ by plan, so we verify benefits before you decide — see the insurance page.

Questions from Geneva parents
Which district serves Geneva?
Geneva Community Unit School District 304, branded Geneva 304. It is a unit district covering kindergarten through twelfth grade, so a student stays with one district and one special education office for the whole of their schooling.
We already travel to Geneva for county appointments. Do we have to travel to you too?
No. Geneva is the Kane County seat, so a lot of paperwork and evaluation appointments bring families here. Therapy runs the other way. Your clinician drives to your house on the schedule you agreed.
Can you coordinate with a doctor at Delnor?
Yes, with your written permission. Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital on Randall Road serves the Tri-Cities, and we share information with a physician, therapist, or school only after you have agreed to it.
