Welcome to Step By Step Behavior Therapy
Who We Are
Helping Children & Adults on the Autism Spectrum Grow—One Step by Step Behavior Therapy is a family‑owned practice led by board‑certified clinicians who share a simple mission: help each child—and their parents—dream big and move forward together.
Nearly a decade of experience allows us to turn clinical insight into practical strategies you can use throughout the day.

Locally Owned & Operated
Proudly rooted in Chicago’s southwest suburbs, we bring ABA therapy to families in Homer Glen, Orland Park, Tinley Park, Bridgeview, Palos Hills, and Mokena. Our team meets children in the neighborhoods they call home, delivering care where growth naturally happens.
Why Families Trust Step By Step
Every family deserves a therapy partner who listens, adapts, and cheers right beside them. We start by understanding your daily life, then create practical plans that fit real routines and celebrate wins—big and small—together.
Family First Goals
Together, we set measurable goals that honor your family’s priorities—whether that’s smoother mealtimes, making friends, or growing independence.
Cultural Respect
Every child’s world includes traditions, languages, and beliefs that matter. Our clinicians receive ongoing training in culturally responsive care, adapt materials (visuals, schedules, social stories) to your home culture, and celebrate milestones in ways that feel authentic to you.
Data + Dignity
We collect data quietly in the background so sessions stay playful and child-led. Your therapist reviews progress with you in plain language, pairing charts with day-to-day examples (“He asked for help three times today!”) so numbers always connect to real-life wins.
