In-Home ABA Treatment For Autism

in the Greater Los Angeles Area

For many children, 1:1 ABA therapy is very effective when offered at home. An in-home ABA treatment program gives our BCBAs an opportunity to observe children with autism in their natural, home environment. Based on these observations, our BCBAs design specific programs based on these children’s in-home behaviors.

Benefits of In-Home ABA Treatment

Transitions and other forms of change can be distressing to children with autism. By initiating a ABA treatment program in the home, you can reduce the amount of distress your child experiences. With in-home sessions, you eliminate the need to leave the home, travel to a new location, or enter a new space. Instead, your child can spend their focus and energy entirely on practicing skills and addressing behaviors in a safe and familiar environment. In-home ABA treatment also saves you, the parent/guardian, time and energy. Our BCBAs come directly to you and incorporate new methods of treatment that provide ongoing support within your child’s typical, daily routine.

Is My Child a Good Candidate for In-Home Therapy?

In-home ABA treatment can be a wonderful option for your child, but it is not always the best fit for every child with autism. If you are considering our in-home therapy services for your child, there are a number of factors to consider.

  • Therapy services in the home allow our BCBAs to address behaviors and skills in the environment in which they are likely to occur. Therapy in the home can help your child address behaviors in an organic environment.

  • When our BCBAs work with children with autism in their home environment, our staff are able to use natural items and situations as learning tools.

  • If your child tends to show extreme problems or behavior in the home, as opposed to in public or at school, this type of therapy can help our specialists address behaviors specific to the home, while in the the home environment.

In some cases, our clients request a hybrid treatment program that uses in-home and in-school sessions. If you have questions about our in-home therapy programs, or would like to discuss developing a hybrid treatment program for your child, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our staff by visiting our Contact page and filling out our form, or giving us a call at 323-693-1600.

FAQs about In-Home ABA Treatment for Autism

  • In-home ABA therapy is a great fit for many children, particularly those who feel more comfortable and regulated in familiar surroundings. It is especially helpful when the behaviors you want to address happen most often at home. During your initial assessment, your BCBA will help determine whether in-home therapy is the best setting for your child, or whether a school-based or hybrid approach would serve them better.

  • Your child's behavior technician will come to your home and work one-on-one with your child using their personalized treatment plan. Sessions take place in the natural environment of your home, which means everyday situations, routines, and items become part of the learning process. Your BCBA oversees the program and checks in regularly to review progress and adjust goals as needed.

  • Session frequency depends on your child's individual treatment plan, which is developed following the initial assessment. Your BCBA will recommend the right number of hours based on your child's needs and goals. Sessions can be scheduled on weekdays and weekends.

  • Most children adjust well, and many thrive in the familiarity of their own space. Because in-home therapy removes the need to travel to a new environment, it can actually reduce the stress and transitions that are often difficult for children with autism or ADHD. Your therapist will work at your child's pace to build comfort and trust from the start.

You will have the opportunity to observe sessions and learn the same strategies your child's therapist uses, so you can reinforce progress throughout the day.

  • Absolutely. Many families at Hidden Treasures use a hybrid program that combines in-home and school-based sessions. This approach allows your child to build and practice skills across the different settings where they spend their time, which supports more consistent progress.
