Millions of children nationwide have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental challenges. However, whether due to location, cost, or the child’s care needs, it is not always possible to physically go to a treatment center for the treatment the child requires. If this is the case, finding telehealth virtual ABA treatment services may be an excellent treatment option.
Through telehealth services at Breakthrough ABA, parents and children can find treatment, education, and the additional support they need. Breakthrough ABA is proud to provide online ABA treatment services in Houston and the state of Texas at large, as well as internationally.

A telehealth session is a method of providing ABA treatment via computer or cellphone technologies. Through this mode of treatment, the parent and child will be in their home, while a treatment provider will be in the physical treatment center or another location. These virtual sessions use HIPAA-compliant software, protecting the privacy of the family.
At times, seeking treatment at a traditional brick-and-mortar ABA treatment center is not the right step for finding treatment for the child. For instance, the parent may not find a location near the home at a cost that they can afford. Furthermore, while Breakthrough ABA does provide treatment in the home, the parent may not be comfortable inviting outsiders into the home for various reasons. If this is the case, a telehealth virtual ABA treatment program may be the proper treatment for the child.
Through this service, the Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) at Breakthrough ABA can provide behavior management strategies and parent education to the family in the moment.

This supervision will occur at regular intervals, often between 4 to 8 hours each month. They will also offer program reviews and updates, observe the child in various settings, train both the parents and the child’s teacher, if applicable, and attend parent and school meetings.
