The basics
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.
Everything changes when your child feels safe
Your child learns to communicate during actual family conversations. They practice independence with their own toys, their own routines, their own daily schedule. Skills develop naturally because they're learning in the place where they'll actually use them.

The Benefits Of In-Home ABA Therapy
01
Familiar environment
In-home ABA therapy allows children to learn in a comfortable and familiar setting, reducing distractions and making it easier to adapt and learn new routines effectively.
02
Enhanced family involvement
Parents and family members can actively participate in sessions, gaining valuable insights and strategies to support their child's development. This involvement fosters a cohesive approach to skill-building and daily interactions.
03
Real-life skill application
Therapists address skills directly within the child's daily routines, such as personal hygiene, mealtime behaviors, and bedtime routines, helping children generalize skills more quickly and effectively.
04
Improved social skills
Including siblings and friends in therapy sessions helps children practice social interactions in real-world contexts, strengthening social skills, peer relationships, and overall social competence.
In-Home ABA Benefits
For The Skills That Matter Most
Social skills
Through activities like playing board games, children learn to share, take turns, say “please” and “thank you,” and recognize facial expressions.
Self-care and daily living skills
Children learn to brush their teeth, wash their hands, set the table, sort laundry, pour drinks, and use utensils independently.
Behavior management
Therapy helps children reduce tantrums by using words to express frustration, practicing deep breathing for self-regulation, and establishing positive routines, such as a consistent bedtime.

Preparing For Your In-Home Therapy Session
-
Designate a Dedicated Space
Choose a quiet area free from distractions like TVs or electronic devices. Consistently using this space for each session will help your child feel more comfortable and promote a routine. Discuss the best location with your Board Certified Behavior Analyst upon their arrival.
-
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.
-
Be Involved and Available
Continue with your normal routines during therapy sessions, but always ensure a responsible adult is present in case the therapist needs to involve you. Actively participating and observing can enhance the therapy process. Your Board-Certified Behavior Analyst will review specific expectations with you.
FAQ
FAQs about ABA therapy at home
Will my insurance cover ABA services at home?
Blue Jay ABA has partnered with many insurance providers and manages the entire approval process, making in-home ABA therapy affordable and easy to access. You can check if we have partnered with your insurance company. For those without approved coverage, we offer reasonable and convenient payment plans to help reduce the financial burden of ABA 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.
- Focused Part-Time Program: For children recommended to have a focused program, therapy plans will consist of around 20 hours of therapy per week.
Our goal is to provide the most effective and convenient care possible for your child.

- Prompting: Use verbal or physical cues to guide behavior.
- Modeling: Demonstrate appropriate behaviors for imitation.
- Data Collection: Track progress and behavior patterns.
