Personalized In-Home ABA Therapy for Your Child

In-home ABA therapy brings compassionate, evidence-based autism care directly to your family’s home. Designed for children who thrive in familiar, low-stress environments, it allows therapy to take place where your child feels most comfortable.

Each program at Alpaca Health is developed and overseen by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and delivered by trained Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). This ensures your child receives individualized, high-quality care supported by data-driven progress tracking and consistent communication with your care team.

Benefits of In-Home ABA Therapy

Familiar and comfortable environment

Therapy takes place where your child feels most secure: at home. This comfort helps reduce anxiety and encourages natural learning during everyday routines.

Tailored to your child’s daily life

Goals are created around real-life moments like mealtime, playtime, and bedtime, helping your child develop practical skills that easily carry over into daily living.

Active family involvement

Parents and caregivers receive hands-on training and coaching in real time, ensuring consistency between therapy sessions and family life.

Faster skill development and generalization

Because therapy happens in the same environment where skills are applied, children make faster, more meaningful progress that lasts.

What to Expect from In-Home ABA Therapy

Alpaca Health completely handles the process of dealing with insurance, so you don’t have to.

FAQs About In-Home ABA Therapy

Is in-home ABA therapy as effective as clinic-based sessions?

Yes. In-home ABA therapy follows the same evidence-based methods as clinic therapy, with structured goals and data collection. 

For goals related to communication, self-care, and daily routines, in-home therapy can be just as effective,  sometimes even more so. Practicing skills in a familiar environment helps children learn faster and apply them naturally.

What makes in-home therapy different from center-based ABA?

In-home therapy happens where your child feels most comfortable. It allows for personalized goals based on your family’s routines and encourages active parent participation, while clinic-based programs offer more structured settings and specialized equipment.

Is in-home ABA therapy only for young children?

Children and teens of all ages can benefit from in-home ABA, with goals adjusted to developmental levels.

Do parents need to be present during sessions?

Parent involvement is highly encouraged. Your BCBA and RBT will coach you through strategies that support consistency and long-term success outside of therapy hours.

Parent involvement is one of the biggest advantages of in-home therapy, ensuring skills last beyond therapy sessions.

What does a typical in-home session look like?

Each in-home therapy session is structured, engaging, and focused on progress. Families can expect a warm-up to build rapport, targeted skill practice (ex: communication, daily living, or play-based learning), positive reinforcement to motivate growth, and data tracking by the RBT.

How soon can we begin in-home ABA therapy?

Once insurance coverage is verified, most families are matched with a provider within days and begin therapy within two weeks.
