MORE ABOUT THE THERAPEUTIC ACADEMY

Our Support

Our approach to building foundations for your child's success.

Therapeutic Academy

Our readiness program integrates Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), speech therapy, occupational therapy, to teach children foundational skills that support successful transitions to public school environments in Illinois.

Center-Based Therapy

Children ages 18 months to 12 years receive center-based ABA, speech, occupational therapy, and social-emotional support in the Chicago area.

Community Integration

Roots provides community-based ABA therapy opportunities, when appropriate, helping children build skills for independent fulfilling lives through real world experiences. We also provide experiences throughout the year for children and their families to participate in engaging therapeutically supported community outings and events.

Parent and Family Coaching

We provide dedicated parent support through personalized training, family engagement opportunities, and a variety of support groups—teaching practical, research-based strategies that help the whole family thrive in consistent, supportive, and empowering environments at home and beyond.

Evaluation, Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and School Advocacy

Navigating school systems in Chicago and the surrounding areas can feel overwhelming. The IEP serves as the foundation for your child’s education, and we’re here to support you and your child every step of the way.

Our Mission

At Roots, we turn support into action—bridging the gap between school, home, and community with personalized autism therapy programs. Our unique process ensures your family is supported through every transition—academically, emotionally, and developmentally.

What Parents Are Saying

We moved to Roots from a different provider. Really happy with the services here. They have age appropriate or child’s skills appropriate goals. Monthly meetings help understand the progress.

We are extremely happy with Roots! Our son absolutely loves it there. Every morning he is thrilled to get in the car and go to therapy. Once we arrive he runs inside with so much excitement. It’s hard to leave your child everyday but knowing he is in the best care possible makes it so much easier. Everyone we have worked with is very communicative and responsive. His BCBA and therapists have made such a difference in his everyday life. In a short time we have already seen more improvements than we ever thought possible. They take such care in working with him and we love that they are equally excited to witness his growth. We could not be more thankful that we found Roots and would highly recommend their services to anyone!

We have worked with many therapy providers over the years and Roots has been one of the best. I feel that the staff really listens to me as the parent and considers me an expert on my child. This is how all parents should be treated. I also feel that all the staff members who work with my son are deeply caring and compassionate individuals for whom this is more than just a job. They really listen to my concerns or requests and implement them immediately. They are flexible, responsive, and I feel that they truly understand the challenges of raising a disabled child and want to support me in any way they can.
