How Does ABA at Home Work?

Children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder may have a very difficult time in developing meaningful relationships with their peers, or communicating in effective ways with their peers. It is not because the neurodivergent child does not want to develop meaningful relationships, it’s just that children on the autism spectrum perceive the world differently, and they may have behaviors that are disruptive to the child’s ability to cope in the social, the academic, personal situations.

ABA, or Applied Behavior Analysis, therapy is generally considered the best treatment for Autistic children. ABA can help kids with social skills by working with them to minimize harmful behaviors and increase their ability to work in nearly all environments.

Not all ABA therapy is the same. In-home ABA therapy is a type of one-on-one therapy that occurs in your house using the things and incentives available in your house.

• Self Care Skills such as bathing, grooming, toileting, etc.
• Social Skills such as eye contact, body language, empathy training, etc.
• Language Development such as learning how to effectively communicate needs, etc.
• Behavioral Skills such as reducing maladaptive behaviors, appropriate coping skills, etc.
• Play & Leisure Skills such as sharing toys, taking turns, sportsmanship, etc.

There's other types of ABA therapy, such as center-based ABA therapy, which teaches kids certain things. But the in-home ABA therapy gives your kids a chance to practice and develop those skills in the actual setting that they are going to be in. So some of the specific skills that behavioral analysts try to do with your child through in-home ABA therapy includes:

It's also important to remember that each ABA therapy plan for in-home will be different, depending on your child's specific goals and objectives.
