In-Home ABA Therapy for Children with Autism

Depending on your therapist’s needs you may be required to set-up an in-home therapy room or space. But don’t feel the need to lock yourself and the rest of your household in a room and stay quiet until the therapist has left. Maintain a normal family routine, but also don’t interrupt or interject yourself in the session without the therapist’s input first as it may be counterproductive to the programs being run. It’s also important that you as the caregiver be available or home during therapy for ‘parent training’. It is important for families to learn the techniques to extend learning beyond hours of therapy.
