In-Home ABA Therapy in Salt Lake City, Utah
Bringing expert autism therapy directly to your doorstep. Our in-home program delivers personalized, one-on-one ABA treatment in the environment where your child feels most comfortable and where skills matter most.
Get Started TodayTherapy Where Life Happens
For many children with autism, the greatest challenges occur right at home. Morning routines become battlegrounds. Mealtimes end in tears. Sibling interactions escalate into conflicts. These are the moments that matter most, and they are the moments we can help transform.
Our in-home ABA therapy program addresses these real-world situations directly. Instead of practicing skills in a clinical setting and hoping they transfer home, we teach skills exactly where they need to be used. Your child learns to get dressed in their own bedroom, to eat at your family's dinner table, and to play with their own toys in their own space.
This approach, known as Natural Environment Teaching (NET), is one of the most effective ways to ensure that skills stick. When learning happens in context, generalization happens naturally.
The Benefits of Home-Based Therapy
Natural Environment Learning
Skills are taught where they will actually be used. Your child learns to brush their teeth in their own bathroom, eat meals at your family's table, and interact with siblings in real-life situations.
Reduced Anxiety
Many children with autism struggle with transitions and new environments. In-home therapy eliminates the stress of traveling to a clinic, allowing your child to focus entirely on learning.
Family Involvement
Parents and caregivers can observe sessions firsthand, learn techniques in real-time, and practice skills together. This involvement accelerates progress and ensures consistency.
Flexible Scheduling
Sessions are scheduled around your family's routine. Early morning, after school, or evenings. We work with your schedule to minimize disruption to your daily life.
What to Expect
Here's how our in-home ABA therapy program works from start to finish.
Initial Home Visit
Your BCBA will visit your home to meet your family, assess the environment, and discuss your child's needs. This helps us tailor the therapy to your specific home setup and routines.
Customized Treatment Plan
Based on the comprehensive assessment, we create an individualized program targeting skills relevant to your home life, such as self-care, communication, play skills, and behavior management.
Regular Therapy Sessions
A trained Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) will come to your home for scheduled sessions, typically ranging from 10 to 40 hours per week depending on your child's needs and insurance authorization.
BCBA Supervision
Your supervising BCBA will regularly join sessions to observe, provide guidance to the RBT, update treatment goals, and ensure your child is making meaningful progress.
Parent Training Sessions
You will receive regular training to implement ABA strategies throughout the day, maximizing the impact of therapy and building your confidence as your child's primary support.
Skills We Target at Home
Our in-home program addresses the full spectrum of skills your child needs to thrive in daily life. Each treatment plan is individualized, but common focus areas include:
- Communication and language development
- Daily living skills (dressing, grooming, toileting)
- Social interaction with family members
- Play and leisure skills
- Following household routines and schedules
- Managing challenging behaviors
- Academic readiness skills
- Safety awareness in the home
Session Structure

Frequently Asked Questions
How many hours of therapy will my child receive?
The number of hours is determined by your child's clinical needs and insurance authorization, typically ranging from 10 to 40 hours per week. Your BCBA will recommend an appropriate intensity based on the comprehensive assessment.
What space do I need to have available?
You don't need a dedicated therapy room. Sessions can take place in any area of your home where your child typically spends time. Our therapists are skilled at working in real-life environments.
Do I need to be home during sessions?
While not always required, we strongly encourage parents to be present, especially in the beginning. Your involvement helps ensure consistency and allows you to learn techniques to use between sessions.
Will the same therapist come each time?
We strive to maintain consistency by assigning a primary therapist to your child. However, you may occasionally have a different therapist due to scheduling needs, which also helps your child learn to generalize skills to different people.
Is in-home therapy covered by insurance?
Yes, ABA therapy is covered by most major insurance plans in Utah, including Medicaid and private insurance. Our benefits team will help verify your coverage and handle authorization paperwork.
