What it is
In-home ABA therapy means a trained therapist comes to your home and works one-on-one with your child. ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) breaks big skills into small, doable steps and celebrates each one. Sessions use play, praise and your child’s favorite things to make learning feel good.
Because we work at home, we can help with the moments that matter most to your family — like mealtime, getting dressed, bath time or the bedtime routine.
Who it’s for
In-home therapy is a good fit for young children with autism or other developmental differences who are working on things like:
- Asking for what they want or need
- Playing with others and taking turns
- Handling changes in routine
- Following simple directions
- Calming down when upset
You don’t need to have everything figured out before you call. We’ll talk it through with you.
What sessions look like
First, a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) gets to know your child and your family and writes a plan with you. Then a trained therapist, called an RBT (Registered Behavior Technician), comes for regular sessions. The BCBA visits often to check progress, coach the team and update goals.
Sessions often look like play, because play is how kids learn. We take short notes as we go so we can see what is working and change what isn’t.
Example goals
- Use words, signs or pictures to ask for a snack
- Brush teeth with fewer reminders
- Sit with the family for a short meal
- Move from playtime to bath time without a meltdown
- Play a simple game with a sibling
Where it happens
Most sessions happen in your home. As skills grow, we may practice in other places too, like a park, a store or a relative’s house, so new skills work everywhere.
Paying for it
Many families use Medicaid waiver programs or private insurance for in-home ABA. Private pay is also an option. We’ll check your benefits for free before anything starts and explain any costs clearly.
