Care, at home —

In-home ABA therapy.

One-on-one ABA in the place your child knows best. Most families start here.

ABA therapy at its finest.
The Service

The short version.

In-home ABA is the most common service we deliver. A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) comes to your home for the duration of the sessions, dependent on your treatment plan. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) supervises the work, writes the plan, and meets with you and the RBT regularly. The home is where your child eats, plays, sleeps, melts down, and connects with their family. That makes it the ideal place to build new skills.

What It Looks Like

What it actually looks like.

01

Where it happens.

Your living room, your kitchen, your child's bedroom, your backyard. Wherever your child is most regulated and most engaged.

02

Who delivers it.

Your assigned RBT delivers the direct work. Your assigned BCBA writes the treatment plan and supervises as clinically necessary. This is where progress is met, and accountability is held.

03

How often.

Most families do between 15 and 40 hours per week, depending on the specific needs of your child's treatment plan and what is clinically necessary. We build the schedule around your family's life and needs, not the other way around.

04

What it costs.

Depends on your insurance. It can be zero out of pocket, ranging based on your specific plan, deductibles, and out-of-pocket maximum. We verify exact numbers before you commit. Complete transparency.

This is for

Ages 1 to 18. We deliver in-home ABA across the entire age range. The strategies look different for a toddler than a teenager, but the home is the right setting for both.

All presentations. From children who are non-speaking to children who are verbally fluent but struggling with peer interaction. Plans are built to your child, not a category.

Across all four states. Florida, Colorado, Maryland, and California. We come to you.

A Typical Session

What a session looks like.

the first 15 minutes

Your RBT arrives, says hello, and follows your child's lead for the first few minutes. They are not jumping straight into 'work mode.' They are connecting.

the next two hours

From there, the RBT delivers programs from your child’s treatment plan — sometimes structured at a table, sometimes mixed into play, often a combination of both. Every session generates real data that your BCBA reviews.

When to Choose It

When to choose in-home ABA.

In-home is the right starting point for most families because it gives your child the most natural environment, gives you the most insight into the work, and gives your BCBA the richest context for planning. We recommend in-home for most children unless school-based services are a better clinical fit for specific reasons.

A Real Story

A real story.

a Colorado family

A Colorado mom whose 4-year-old son struggled with transitions started in-home ABA in February. By April he was transitioning between morning activities without protest. By June he was inviting his RBT into his pretend play.

By November his sessions had moved from structured table work to ninety percent natural-environment learning. He had reduced from twenty hours to fifteen, and his mom was running his programs at the grocery store, in the car, and at his grandparents' house. He is starting kindergarten next year.

An Honest Note

If this is not the right fit.

In-home ABA is not the right fit if the home environment is unsafe or unstable, or if your family is rarely home during the hours therapy needs to happen. The home only works as a setting when it is a place your child can reliably be present and regulated.

If that describes your situation right now, a school-based model may serve your child better — and we will tell you that honestly on the first call rather than forcing a fit. The goal is the right setting for your child, not the most convenient label.

Questions families ask first

Pulled from calls and everyday families.
How many hours of in-home ABA does my child need?

It depends entirely on your child’s treatment plan, which your BCBA builds from the assessment. Most families land between 15 and 40 hours per week, depending on the specific clinical needs. Early-intervention and school-age children with focused goals are often on the higher end.

Do I have to be home during the session?

A parent or guardian must always be present at home during the session. You do not have to participate in every minute, and many parents use session time to be nearby and available while the RBT works. Parent training sessions are when we work directly with you.

Can siblings be in the house during sessions?

Yes. Siblings are part of real life, and sometimes we even incorporate them into social-skill work. Your RBT will guide how to structure the session so your child can focus while the household keeps running.

What happens if our RBT calls in sick?

We aim to keep your assigned RBT consistent, which is why our low caseloads and retention matter. If your RBT is out, we either reschedule or, for families who want continuity, arrange coverage with a familiar team member when possible.

Do we have to clear a whole room for therapy?

No. We work in your normal space with your child’s normal toys and routines. A clear table or floor area helps for structured work, but the naturalistic parts happen wherever your child plays and lives.

Can in-home ABA be combined with in-school support?

Yes, and many families do exactly that. Your BCBA coordinates the goals across both settings so the work reinforces itself. Whether in-home and in-school can be combined depends on whether your child’s school permits in-school support and how the schedules and hours align across both settings.
