How involved should I be during in‑home ABA therapy?

Q:
How involved should I be during in‑home ABA therapy?
‍
A:
Very involved. I’ve seen the biggest breakthroughs when parents are in the room, learning and reinforcing right alongside us.

One family I supported had a child who struggled with transitions and communication. The mother sat in on sessions, asked questions, and practiced techniques between visits. That child made faster progress than peers with similar needs because the consistency was there every single day.

At Achieving Stars Therapy, in-home ABA is never meant to replace the parent. It is designed to empower you. We want you observing, learning how we prompt, how we reinforce, how we respond to behavior.

We’ll guide you in practicing those same strategies in real-life routines like brushing teeth, snack time, clean-up, and transitions.You don’t need a background in therapy. You just need to be willing to show up and try. I’ll personally teach you how to fade prompts, how to generalize skills outside of sessions, and how to give your child consistent support.

When parents step in and become part of the team, progress accelerates. I’ve watched non-verbal kids start initiating words at home because parents followed through with the same reinforcement system we used in session.

So if you're wondering how involved you should be, the answer is all in. Because you’re the most important therapist your child will ever have.

We’re just here to train and support you.
