ABA therapy can be provided in several different care settings including a client’s home, a client’s school, or a dedicated Autism center. Therapy services conducted at a client’s home may be referred to as “home-based services” or “in-home services”.
Through this care delivery model, the family works with a Master’s level Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to develop an individualized treatment plan (ITP). A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) is then dispatched to the family’s home at pre-determined appointment times to provide 1:1 services based on the ITP.
Home-based therapy services are currently available through our Iowa offices for children ages 5+ with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Home-based care is considered a “focused-therapy” model and best suited to children who need fewer than 20 therapy hours per week. Please note that at least one parent or caregiver must be present during all in-home therapy sessions.
As a parent or caregiver, it’s important to decide which care setting is best suited to your child’s needs. To help you understand if home-based Autism therapy is the right fit, check out a few of the main benefits below:
