The Autism Therapy

What The Autism Therapy does

The Autism Therapy Group (ATG) is a privately held, family-owned applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy provider serving children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Wheeling, Illinois, the company operates seven or more physical clinic centers across three states — Illinois (Lombard, Naperville, Rockford, Itasca, Springfield), Wisconsin (Brookfield), and Texas (Universal City) — with in-home service extension into surrounding markets including Del Rio and San Antonio, TX; Milwaukee, Kenosha, New Berlin, West Allis, and Greenfield, WI; and Chicagoland and other Illinois suburbs.

ATG's core offering is ABA therapy, delivered through three interchangeable modalities — in-clinic, in-home, and hybrid — that together constitute the proprietary "Together Care Model." Each client undergoes an initial assessment conducted by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), who designs an individualized treatment plan that is implemented by Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) under ongoing BCBA supervision. ATG reports that 90%+ of its therapists are RBT-certified, and therapy incorporates a standardized evidence-based technique stack (reinforcement, shaping, prompting, modeling, task analysis, generalization) along with naturalistic teaching, behavioral skills training (BST), and multi-modal communication support spanning spoken language, sign language, Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), and augmentative/alternative communication (AAC) devices.

Revenue is generated through fee-for-service ABA therapy billed primarily to major insurance providers, supplemented by complimentary insurance verification and benefits navigation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by service modality and insurance coverage. The go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer local-services marketing (SEO-optimized state and city pages, content marketing, organic social across LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram/YouTube, paid social, email newsletter) with referral-driven demand from school districts, primary physicians, speech/OT providers, insurance providers, existing client referrals, and community outreach events. ATG holds a 3-year Behavioral Health Center of Excellence (BHCOE) accreditation (2022) and a Great Place to Work certification renewed for 2025-2026, both of which it surfaces as third-party quality signals in its marketing.

Revenue model

1. Fee-for-service ABA therapy: Revenue is generated from delivering Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy sessions in three modalities — center-based (in-clinic), in-home, and hybrid — billed primarily through reimbursement from major insurance providers. Free insurance verification is offered to families. Service mix includes one-on-one sessions and group/peer play sessions.
2. Insurance-reimbursed clinical services: Most ABA services are reimbursed under insurance plans that require a formal Autism diagnosis; ATG's team helps families navigate coverage, benefits checks, and out-of-pocket costs.

Core offering

The Autism Therapy Group delivers evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to children with autism spectrum disorder through three interchangeable delivery modalities: in-clinic therapy at company-owned centers, in-home therapy, and a hybrid model. Each child receives a BCBA-conducted individualized assessment and treatment plan, with sessions implemented by RBT-certified therapists under ongoing BCBA supervision using reinforcement, shaping, prompting, modeling, task analysis, and generalization techniques. The proprietary Together Care Model integrates family support, parent training, complimentary insurance verification, and data-driven progress tracking across Illinois, Wisconsin, and Texas.

Product overview

The Autism Therapy Group (ATG) is a single-service organization whose core offering is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children with autism, organized around a unified service architecture rather than a multi-product platform. The core product is ABA Therapy, delivered through three interchangeable delivery modules — In-Clinic Therapy, In-Home Therapy, and Hybrid Therapy — that together form the ATG Together Care Model. These are reinforced by supporting services including an initial BCBA-led assessment and individualized treatment planning, a parent training and support program, and complimentary insurance verification. ABA therapy is offered across multiple state footprints (Illinois, Wisconsin, and Texas) with named clinic locations in Lombard, Naperville, Rockford, Itasca, and Springfield (IL), Brookfield (WI), and Universal City (TX), plus in-home coverage in surrounding areas such as Del Rio (TX).
