What is ABA therapy at home?

In-home ABA therapy is a form of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) conducted within the comfort of a child's own environment. ABA therapy is the leading approach for treating individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other neurodevelopmental differences. While this therapy can occur in various settings such as schools and specialized centers, in-home ABA offers a unique opportunity for personalized treatment tailored to the child's natural surroundings.

Prepare Tools and Materials:


Ensure the space is equipped with a child-sized table and chairs. Have developmentally appropriate materials like sensory tools, toys, and puzzles ready. Store these items away when not in use to keep them special and effective for therapy.

  • What is the difference between center-based and home based aba therapy?

    Center-based ABA therapy is conducted in a clinical setting designed for structured learning and social interaction with peers, providing a controlled environment for skill development. In contrast, home-based ABA therapy takes place in the child's own home, allowing for the integration of skills into daily routines and promoting generalization in a familiar setting. The choice between the two depends on the child’s specific needs, family preferences, and goals.

  • What do school-age children do during in-home therapy?

    During in-home therapy, school-age children engage in activities designed to develop communication, social, and academic skills. They work on tasks like completing homework, improving daily routines, and practicing social interactions. Therapists use structured play, educational exercises, and behavior management techniques to support the child's development in a familiar environment.

  • What are the hours for in-home ABA services?

    We tailor our in-home ABA therapy hours based on medical recommendations to best suit your child's needs. We offer flexible home based ABA programs:


    • Comprehensive Full-Day Program: For children recommended to have a comprehensive program, therapy plans will consist of around 40 hours of therapy per week.
