What can we expect when you come to our home?

We support your child within your family’s real routines: meals, getting dressed, playtime, transitions, and the natural flow of your day. We use your natural environment, and join your child where they are and add support to build communication, play, and daily living skills in ways that feel familiar and comfortable.

Do we have to stop living our lives while our child gets support?

Not at all. Therapy fits into daily life, not the other way around. Your home doesn’t need to be quiet, spotless, or rearranged. Siblings, pets, normal noise, and regular routines are welcome. We make therapy part of your everyday rhythm.

Can I leave for work while you're working with my child at home?

You can be in another room, but the RBT cannot take the place of a babysitter. A parent or adult caregiver must stay in the home and within earshot at all times. Many caregivers use this time to work, rest, or take care of other tasks while staying readily available.

How long is each session?

Most sessions last 2–4 hours, depending on your child’s needs and your family’s schedule.

How many days per week will my child receive support?

This varies based on the care plan. Many families choose 8–15 hours per week, spread over several days. We’ll discuss what fits your child’s needs and what works best for your household.

Do you work with children who are not diagnosed with autism?

Yes. We support young children who may have delays in communication, play, connection, or behavior—with or without a formal diagnosis. Not all services are covered by insurance in every situation, but we offer parent coaching, social skills groups, and short-term support that may be a good fit when traditional ABA therapy is not covered.

What ages do you serve?

We specialize in early childhood—generally 18 months to 6 years old. If your child is slightly older but still in early elementary school, we’re happy to discuss your needs.

What does a “typical” therapy session look like?

Sessions follow your child’s natural routines. This might include play, snacks, daily living skills, movement, or reading—whatever your child normally does. Structured play activities are part of our work, but we always start with your child’s interests and the rhythms of your household.

Will therapy feel like drills or sitting at a desk?

No. Some activities may happen at a table, but most learning happens through play, routines, and everyday moments. We don’t rely on aversives or coercive strategies—our approach is gentle, child-led, and relationship-based.

How do you involve parents and caregivers?

Caregivers are part of the team. Therapy often includes parents, siblings, or other family members as we practice routines and communication. We also offer dedicated coaching sessions where we teach simple strategies you can use in daily life.

Do siblings have to stay out of the room?

Not always. Younger siblings are often part of the natural environment. If we need more focus, we may ask for a quieter space or a short break from sibling play, but we keep things flexible.

What if my child doesn’t want to participate?

We don’t force participation. If your child is having a hard day, we adjust by offering sensory breaks, quieter activities, or lower-demand tasks. Honest, real-life moments are part of the learning process.

Will you work in community locations (parks, grocery stores, etc.)?

Yes. We can join you in the community to practice real-life skills. We cannot drive your child, but we can follow you to community settings and support your child while you’re together.

Do you offer telehealth sessions?

Yes. We use telehealth for parent coaching, caregiver check-ins, and BCBA supervision when appropriate. Direct therapy for young children is usually in person.

What qualifications do your staff have?

All frontline therapists are Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and receive ongoing training and supervision. They work under a Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA/BCBA) who leads assessment, treatment planning, and caregiver support.

How do you make sure therapy is safe and trauma-informed?

We use a child-led, consent-based, dignity-centered approach. We never use physical punishment or rely on coercive strategies. Staff are trained in trauma-informed care, positive behavior supports, cultural humility, and safety practices.

Do you offer services in Spanish or other languages?

We do our best to match families with bilingual staff or arrange interpretation for parent meetings and coaching. Just tell us your preferred language.

What if my child has another diagnosis or medical condition?

We serve many children with multiple needs such as ADHD, sensory differences, speech delays, or medical complexities. We continually assess to ensure our services meet your child’s and your family’s needs, and we collaborate with other providers when appropriate.

What happens during the initial assessment?

Your BCBA spends time observing your child, asking questions, and learning about your routines and goals. They may play with your child, talk through challenges, and review any reports you’d like to share. This helps us build an individualized plan.

Will my child get a consistent therapist?

Yes. We aim for consistency. If a therapist is out sick, on vacation, or if a staffing change is needed, we’ll communicate with you and adjust the schedule or team as needed.

What if we try ABA and decide it’s not a good fit?

You are always in control. If services aren’t meeting your child’s needs, we’ll help you explore other options, connect with trusted community resources, and support a smooth transition.
