ABS provides data driven, high-quality Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services to infants, children, and adolescents. Highly trained therapists deliver indi
vidualized instruction to students while being supervised by Board Certified Behavior Analysts. We believe that every kid has the right to learn in a safe, fun environment that is tailored to the way they learn best. We use their interests to expand on their current strengths and make learning new things easy by breaking the skills down into the smallest components. At ABS we understand that communication is the key to success and our treatment plans focus heavily on teaching functional communication within a Verbal Behavior framework. When a child has a meaningful way to communicate their basic needs, thoughts, and desires, challenging behaviors naturally decrease, opportunities expand, and independence is improved. We provide clinic-based services at our Skokie, IL location to children aged 2-8. About the founder:
Sarah Hively is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and has provided a wide variety of supervisory and one-on-on services in both the home and clinical based settings. Past experience includes: Clinical Director at a center based facility, a Behavior Consultant in public school settings and an Educational Coordinator in home based settings. In these roles she gained experience supervising therapists, overseeing student progress, administering assessments, developing model ABA classrooms, and providing trainings and workshops to parents, therapists, teachers, daycares, and school district administrators. Sarah knows the importance of understanding, supporting, and creating programs that are functional and meaningful to the child and family. Therefore, she believes in three key elements to building a successful program. The first is providing a comprehensive and individualized program based on the principles of behavior. The second is remaining hands on, working directly with children and staff. The third is working closely with the family as parental feedback and participation are crucial to a child’s progress. We also have a partnership and share clinic space with Wee Speech and Timber Ridge Pediatric Therapy! Together, our companies can help create a multi-disciplinary collaborative approach to address your child’s developmental needs. For more information, visit
