ABA at home
Real life happens at home.
Home is where your child is most comfortable, and where so many everyday moments happen. That makes it a natural place to learn.
Your child works one-to-one with a trained therapist (an RBT), with a BCBA who designs the plan and supervises care. Sessions fit into your family's real routines.
Families often work on everyday moments like:
- Getting ready in the morning or at bedtime
- Mealtimes with the family
- Playing and taking turns with siblings
- Asking for help and sharing what they need

How does home-based ABA work?
A BCBA gets to know your child and your family, then builds a plan around your goals. A trained therapist comes to your home for one-to-one sessions, and your BCBA checks progress and adjusts the plan along the way.
How do you coach and partner with parents?
You're part of the team. We show you what's working, share simple strategies you can use between sessions, and keep you updated in plain words. [Confirm parent coaching format and frequency]
Do I need to be home during sessions?

ABA at school
Support where your child learns every day.
School brings new routines, new people, and lots of chances to practice skills with peers.
We work alongside your child's teachers and school team, so goals stay connected from home to the classroom. [Confirm school support details: which schools, how sessions work, and who coordinates]
At school, support can include:
- Practicing classroom routines and transitions
