🧠 What Is In-Home ABA Therapy?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a science-backed therapy that focuses on behavior change to improve communication, learning, and social interactions. In in-home ABA therapy, our team works with your child in the natural environment—your living room, kitchen, or backyard—where learning is most meaningful and transferable.

At Breakthrough ABA:

• Each child’s program is individualized by a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst).
• Therapy is delivered by a trained RBT (Registered Behavior Technician).
• You receive regular updates, progress tracking, and parent coaching.

🔍 What Happens in an In-Home ABA Session?

In-home sessions typically range from 2 to 8 hours per day, depending on the child’s needs and authorization. Here’s what’s included:

1. Therapy Kickoff (First 5–10 minutes)

• RBT greets the child, establishes rapport, and sets up for the session.
• A visual schedule may be reviewed with the child to increase structure and predictability.

2. Structured Skill Building

• Teaching is broken into short, engaging trials (Discrete Trial Training or DTT).
• For example, your child may learn how to request a toy, match colors, or identify emotions.

3. Natural Environment Training (NET)

• Skills are embedded in play or routines, such as:
  • Asking for help during snack time
  • Washing hands after using the restroom
  • Saying “hello” when a sibling comes home

4. Behavior Intervention

• If your child engages in self-injury, aggression, or tantrums, the RBT implements a BCBA-designed Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) with strategies like redirection, visual cues, and reinforcement systems.

5. Parent Collaboration (Last 5 minutes)

• We debrief daily progress and coach you on how to continue interventions outside of sessions.

🏡 What Are the Benefits of In-Home ABA Therapy in Houston?

✅ Personalized Learning

Every routine—bath time, bedtime, grocery shopping—becomes a chance to teach functional skills.

✅ Increased Parent Involvement

We train you to use prompts, visuals, reinforcement, and other tools so you can feel confident and consistent when the RBT is not present.

✅ Real-Life Skill Transfer

Skills learned at the kitchen table—like requesting juice or asking for help—translate directly into everyday independence.

✅ No Commute, No Disruptions

Therapy happens where your child is most comfortable. This reduces transitions, anxiety, and time loss due to travel.
