Breakthrough ABA | In-Home Services Across Greater Houston
Learn how in-home ABA therapy in Houston supports children with autism using evidence-based strategies in the comfort of your home.
When it comes to helping children with autism develop critical life skills, in-home ABA therapy in Houston offers a unique and highly effective approach. At Breakthrough ABA, we bring the structure of clinical-quality therapy into the comfort of your home—tailored around your child’s environment, schedule, and family culture.
🧠 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.
👥 Who’s on the In-Home ABA Team?
- BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst): Conducts assessments, writes treatment plans, and supervises weekly.

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

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.

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