Home - Based ABA

Home-based ABA therapy brings learning into the place where your child feels most comfortable—their own home. This service focuses on teaching skills and reducing challenging behaviors in real-life settings, making progress both meaningful and practical.

What home - based ABA looks like

A trained ABA therapist (Behavior Technician) comes to your home on a regular schedule to work with your child.
The therapist follows a treatment plan created by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). This plan includes individualized goals such as improving communication, increasing independence, building play skills, and reducing challenging behaviors.
Parents and caregivers are encouraged to participate during sessions so they can learn the same strategies being used by the therapist. This way, skills carry over outside of therapy time.

What parents can expect

Sessions may include structured teaching activities at a table, but also natural teaching moments while playing, eating, getting ready for bed, or transitioning between activities.
The therapist may use toys, games, books, or routines already in your home as part of teaching.
Expect lots of positive reinforcement—praise, high fives, or small rewards that motivate your child.
The BCBA will check in regularly (in person or via telehealth) to observe sessions, guide the therapist, and update the treatment plan as your child makes progress.

Why home-based ABA matters

Skills are learned in the exact environment where your child needs them most—home routines, family interactions, and daily transitions.
Caregivers are directly involved, which makes it easier to generalize skills and keep therapy consistent.
It helps children build independence in everyday life, from brushing teeth and getting dressed to playing with siblings and following directions.

The takeaway for families

Home-based ABA is not just about therapy sessions—it’s about creating a supportive environment where your child can thrive in their natural routines. Parents play an essential role, learning alongside their child and reinforcing skills throughout the day. This service is especially powerful because it teaches skills where they matter most: right at home.
