This place is a heaven sent! My son was diagnosed with autism 3 years ago. And he is 6 and now has graduated from this wonderful place! Now heading to first grade! Our son and family has always felt supported here. He never wanted to miss a day! We are definitely going to miss this place! Thank you to the ABC Staff for all that you’ve done for my son! If you’re looking for ABA therapy for your loved one look no further, this is the place to go!
The ABA therapy provided here has been a game changer for my son, who in his own words said "I've learned how to make friends and finally enjoy school." The staff are delightful and knowledgeable, and patiently worked with us as we navigated our own journey through the world of ABA. The staff at ABC gave our family the tools we needed to improve our son's life and ours. It's definitely a team effort and parents need to be willing to put in the investment of learning too, but it's absolutely worth it. We even miss coming here as we had such positive interactions with the staff! Thank you, ABC!

What to expect during an in-home ABA therapy day
When you choose ABC ABA therapy at home, your child's sessions are personalized to their unique needs.
The process begins with a skills-based assessment by a BCBA to identify needs and set individualized therapy goals. Then, a dedicated therapy team provides ongoing ABA therapy sessions that are synchronized with your family’s schedule.
During sessions, you can expect:

How often should in-home ABA sessions beconducted?
What do parents do during in-home ABA therapy?
Parents and caregivers are key to their child’s success. During in-home ABA therapy, parents have many opportunities to stay involved, including:
- Participating in Family Guidance with your child’s BCBA
- Learning strategies to practice during daily routines
- Receiving real-time updates and coaching during sessions
We believe a child has the best outcomes in ABA therapy when families and therapists work together as a team.
How do I know if my child is making progress in home-based ABA therapy?
Your child’s therapy team collects data during every session using digital tools and skill-tracking systems. BCBAs also complete regular assessments to measure growth.
You’ll stay informed through:
- Written progress reports
- Easy-to-read graphs showing skill development
- Ongoing updates during parent meetings
- Direct communication from your clinical team
Therapy goals are always updated based on what your child needs to keep growing.
How is play-based early intervention used in at-home ABA therapy?
Play is an important part of Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI). Children learn best when they’re having fun, so we use everyday play activities to teach communication, independence, and social interaction.
Examples include:
- Building with blocks or puzzles
- Pretend play, like cooking or shopping
- Matching, sorting, and counting games
- Singing, dancing, or interactive storytime
- Turn-taking games like rolling a ball or “Simon Says”
These activities help children practice new skills in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.
How do therapists use positive reinforcement in home-based ABA therapy?
In home-based ABA therapy, therapists use positive reinforcement to help children stay motivated and excited about learning. Reinforcement is personalized for each child. Here's how therapists apply positive reinforcement:
- Offering praise and encouraging words like "Great job!" or "Well done!" immediately after learning a new skill.
- Allowing access to activities the child enjoys, such as playing with a favorite toy.
- Using a reward system where children can earn stickers or tokens, which can be exchanged for a preferred activity or item.
