ABA: How to Get 1:1 Services to Your House

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is one of the most effective ways to support children with autism and related developmental challenges. For families in San Diego, including military families and those navigating insurance, finding in-home ABA services can provide much-needed convenience and comfort. Here’s how you can secure 1:1 services for your child in the comfort of your home.

Benefits of In-Home ABA Services

1. Familiar Environment:

   • Providing therapy in a child's home offers a comfortable and secure setting, potentially enhancing engagement and learning (Sandbank, Bottema-Beutel, & Feldman, 2020).

2. Family Involvement:

   • In-home services facilitate active participation from family members, including parents and siblings, allowing them to observe sessions and reinforce strategies in daily routines (Stahmer, Schreibman, & Palardy-Powell, 2005).

3. Personalized Approach:

   • Therapists can tailor interventions to address specific behaviors and challenges that occur within the child's natural environment, promoting generalization of skills (Ingersoll & Schreibman, 2006).
