In-Home ABA Support

Extending Skills From the Center to Your Home

In-home support is offered as part of Saffron Therapy’s comprehensive center-based ABA program. While your child’s primary therapy takes place at our center, in-home sessions are added when needed to help skills transfer into everyday routines. This approach ensures that progress made in therapy carries over into real moments at home, where children and families spend most of their time.

Our goal is to support meaningful, lasting change by helping children apply what they are learning in ways that feel practical, natural, and supportive for the whole family.

What Is In-Home ABA Support?

In-home ABA support is a focused service designed to help your child apply skills learned during center-based ABA sessions to real-life routines at home. A trained behavior therapist, supervised by a BCBA, works with you and your child in your home to support goals that are best practiced in that environment, such as communication, routines, and daily living skills.

These sessions are not a replacement for center-based therapy. Instead, they complement it by allowing our team to observe everyday routines, identify real-life challenges, and coach you on strategies that help progress carry over more easily.

We follow a neurodiversity-affirming approach, respecting each child’s unique ways of communicating, learning, and regulating. We focus on skills that support confidence, safety, and independence, without targeting behaviors that are harmless or self-regulating.

How In-Home Support Helps Your Child

In-home ABA support may be recommended to help with areas such as:

• Functional communication during daily routines
• Emotional regulation and coping strategies at home
• Transitions like bedtime, mealtimes, or getting ready
• Play skills and interactions with siblings
• Flexibility and problem-solving in familiar settings
• Safety skills within the home environment
• Daily living skills that are difficult to practice in a clinic

Because these sessions take place in your child’s natural environment, strategies can be adjusted in real time to better fit your family’s routines and priorities.

What Our In-Home Services Include

In-home ABA support is individualized and added based on clinical need. Sessions may focus on:

• 1:1 ABA therapy: Individualized sessions that reinforce goals already being addressed in center-based therapy.
• Parent coaching: Clear, practical guidance so you feel confident using strategies during mealtimes, play, homework, bedtime, and other routines.
• Behavior troubleshooting: Support with challenging behaviors such as tantrums, rigidity, transitions, or difficulties following directions, always using compassionate, trauma-informed strategies.
• Toilet training: Step-by-step plans and coaching to support successful toileting routines that match your child’s readiness and sensory needs.
• Daily living skills: Practice with dressing, brushing teeth, cleaning up toys, basic chores, and other age-appropriate independence skills.

Every plan is built after a thorough assessment and ongoing collaboration with your family.

What to Expect From In-Home ABA Sessions

Our in-home ABA session follows a thoughtful and coordinated process.

1. Clinical decision and planning
   Your BCBA determines whether in-home ABA support would benefit your child based on progress, family goals, and assessment data.
2. Aligned treatment goals
   Home-based goals are directly connected to your child’s center-based treatment plan to maintain consistency.
3. Scheduled home visits
   A behavior therapist comes to your home for scheduled sessions, most often two to three hours at a time, depending on the goal and clinical recommendation.
4. Ongoing supervision and adjustments
   Your BCBA observes sessions as needed, reviews data, and adjusts strategies to make sure progress remains steady and meaningful.
