4 Easy Steps for Effective In-Home Therapy in Reisterstown

The role of parents and caregivers in the therapy process:

Assessment

In this step, you'll sit down with your BCBA to discuss your child’s goals. The BCBA will observe your child's behavior and assess their strengths and areas for improvement.

Development

Your BCBA will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your child’s and family’s goals. They will collaborate with the team and your insurance provider to ensure the recommended treatment is both effective and well-supported.

Therapy

Therapy starts! You and your child will work closely with the therapy team on the goals outlined with the BCBA. Regular collaboration will ensure progress is made. You’ll also learn the strategies your child is working on to support their development.

Monitoring

We keep track of your child's progress regularly. By reviewing the data, we make changes to their plan to make sure it continues to meet their growing needs.

  1. We do! For children over the age of 5, we offer behavioral support in schools that permit it. Many private schools allow ABA therapy, while most public schools do not. Our BCBAs can also attend IEP meetings and conferences to help address any behavioral challenges your child may encounter.
  2. If additional support is needed, STEPS Behavioral Health offers advocacy services for an out-of-pocket cost. Please contact our intake coordinator for more details.

Coverage varies depending on your plan. Medicaid typically covers ABA therapy, while commercial insurance plans may require copays. For detailed information, please contact your insurance provider or our intake coordinator. 

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) helps individuals learn valuable skills that enhance their daily life. It focuses on teaching new behaviors, encouraging positive actions, and reducing behaviors that disrupt normal activities. ABA uses proven techniques to create personalized strategies that meet each person’s unique needs. Although it’s often used for autism, ABA principles are also effective in education, mental health, and behavior management.
Absolutely! We offer evening social skills groups for children over five who are undergoing ABA therapy. Our Early STEPS program blends one-on-one therapy, group activities, and play, all tailored to the child’s unique abilities. For older clients, there are opportunities to engage with peers in community settings, where they can practice age-appropriate skills in a relaxed and natural environment.

The recommended amount of ABA therapy varies depending on each child’s needs. For school-aged children, around 15 hours per week is typical, while children in our Early STEPS program usually receive about 30 hours per week. A minimum of 10 hours per week is required to ensure effective progress.

A BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) is a master’s-level professional who designs, supervises, and adjusts treatment plans to ensure therapy is effective. An RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) is a certified practitioner who implements ABA strategies directly with clients, under the supervision of a BCBA. A BT (Behavior Technician) performs similar tasks but may not yet hold certification. They assist in therapy sessions and follow treatment plans with BCBA guidance.

Parents play an important role in helping their child succeed in ABA therapy at home. Your BCBA will guide you on how to apply effective techniques to support your child’s progress. By incorporating these strategies into daily activities, you can boost your child’s learning and foster lasting behavioral changes.
ABA therapy is beneficial for children with autism who face challenges with problem behaviors, daily routines, or learning new skills. If your child needs help in these areas, ABA therapy could be an excellent solution. Reach out to our team to discover how we can assist your child in reaching their full potential.
