In-Home ABA Therapy
At Early Autism Services (EAS), our in-home Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy offers personalized one-on-one treatment for your child. With a Behavior Technician supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, therapy sessions take place in the comfort and privacy of your home, allowing your child to develop functional skills within their natural environment.
What Is In-Home ABA Therapy?
ABA therapy applies behavioral principles to real-life situations, aiming to decrease harmful behaviors and increase positive ones. Behavior Technicians tailor the program to your child's needs, utilizing strategies like positive reinforcement and teaching antecedents. Positive rewards encourage desired behaviors, while understanding triggers and consequences helps shape behavior for lasting change.
Benefits of In-Home ABA Therapy
- A Familiar Learning Environment: Our home-based ABA services allow your child to work on skills natural to their daily routines. These skills can include daily self-help abilities such as eating, brushing their teeth, appropriate play, toilet training and more. It will also allow your child’s therapist to observe your child in their natural setting, which will help them establish more accurate and personalized goals.
- Convenience: In-home therapy is extremely convenient for most families. Everything from our initial consultation to daily treatment can take place in the privacy of your home. Our in-home ABA services will help your family maintain your child’s typical routines. Many families find that private ABA therapy offers convenience for minimizing the added challenges of planning meals, navigating traffic, adjusting schedules and more.
- Family Involvement: EAS highly encourages parents to be actively involved in their child’s therapy program. Family involvement could include sitting in for a song, being present for activities or simply having an open line of communication with your child’s therapist. It will also help your child’s therapist to observe interactions between you and your child or your child and a sibling. Being actively involved in your child’s behavioral therapy sessions can allow our team to provide helpful feedback and even create new goals for your child’s home-based ABA therapy program.
Goals of In-Home ABA Therapy
While the primary goal of at-home ABA therapy treatment will largely depend on your child’s specific needs, this form of therapy effectively teaches your child many new skills. During the ABA therapy process, some children have seen improvements in areas such as:
- Showing greater interest in the children and adults around them.
- Effectively communicating their needs.
- Clearly and specifically asking for something.
- Showing improved focus in school and other academic settings.
- Reducing negative or self-harming behaviors.
- Experiencing fewer tantrums or negative outbursts.
To maintain these positive behaviors, it’s essential for Behavior Technicians and caregivers to positively reinforce the desired behavior as much as possible. Using in-home ABA services allows for greater involvement, and your Behavior Technician will give you strategies for effective reinforcement. In-home therapy also allows your Behavior Technician access to behaviors your child may not perform in public, such as tantrums, and will teach you how to avoid reinforcing this and other negative behaviors.
