4 Simple Steps to In-Home ABA Therapy in Catonsville

The role of parents and caregivers in the therapy process:

Assessment

First, meet with your BCBA to discuss your child's goals and needs. They will observe your child's behavior, assess their strengths, and identify areas for growth.

Development

Next, your BCBA will create a treatment plan tailored to your child’s needs and family goals. They will collaborate with the team and your insurance provider to advocate for the most effective prescribed therapy.

Therapy

Therapy starts! You and your child will work closely with the therapy team to implement the goals and plans developed with the BCBA. Regular check-ins will ensure progress, and you'll also learn strategies to support your child's growth.

Monitoring

We continuously track your child's progress to ensure they receive the best support. Regular data reviews allow us to adjust their treatment plan as their needs evolve, promoting ongoing growth and development.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) helps individuals build essential skills that enhance their daily lives. It focuses on teaching positive behaviors, reinforcing progress, and reducing challenging behaviors that may interfere with learning and independence. Using evidence-based strategies, ABA tailors interventions to meet each person’s unique needs. While widely used for autism, its principles also support education, mental health, and behavior management.
Yes! We offer evening social skills groups for children over five who receive ABA therapy. Our Early STEPS program blends individual therapy, group play, and activities customized to each child’s needs. Older clients also have opportunities to connect with peers in the community, practicing essential social skills in a fun and supportive environment.

The number of ABA therapy hours needed varies based on each child’s unique needs. School-aged children typically receive around 15 hours per week, while those in our Early STEPS program average 30 hours per week. To support meaningful progress, a minimum of 10 hours per week is required.

A BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) holds a master’s degree and is responsible for creating, overseeing, and adjusting treatment plans to ensure effective therapy. An RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) is a certified professional who works directly with clients, implementing ABA strategies under the supervision of a BCBA. A BT (Behavior Technician) performs similar duties to an RBT but may not yet be certified. They support therapy sessions and follow treatment plans under the guidance of a BCBA.

Parents and caregivers play a vital role in reinforcing ABA strategies beyond therapy sessions. Your BCBA will provide training to help you implement techniques that support your child’s development. By consistently using these strategies in daily routines, you can enhance learning and promote lasting behavioral growth.
ABA therapy supports children with autism who face challenges with behavior, daily routines, or learning new skills. If your child needs help in these areas, ABA could be a great option. Contact our team to learn more about how we can support your child’s development!
