We Care About Your Child’s Progress
As a parent, choosing the right therapy for your child is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. You want an approach that not only supports their development but also ensures they are in a place of happiness and joy before learning.
At Centria, we understand the challenges you face and are here to offer compassionate, personalized care through our in-home ABA therapy services. In-home therapy brings the benefits of ABA directly into the comfort and familiarity of your home. Whether you’re exploring ABA therapy for the first time or looking for a new approach, our goal is to create a positive and supportive environment where your child can thrive.
What Is In-Home ABA Therapy?
In-home ABA therapy is a scientifically proven method for helping children with autism develop essential skills and improve their quality of life —all within the comfort of their own home. ABA therapy focuses on understanding how behavior works, how it is affected by the environment, and how learning takes place. By using positive reinforcement and individualized strategies, we help your child reach their full potential in communication, social interactions and daily living skills.
Our Approach to In-Home ABA Therapy
Assessment
We begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your child's unique strengths and needs. This evaluation helps us set meaningful and achievable goals for their therapy.
Treatment Planning
Based on the assessment, we create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your child's specific goals. Our approach is flexible, evolving with your child's progress to ensure continuous growth.
Implementation
Our experienced therapists bring the therapy sessions to your home, working one-on-one with your child. We focus on creating a joyful and engaging atmosphere that encourages positive behaviors and skill development.
Progress Monitoring and Evaluation
We continuously monitor your child's progress through data collection and analysis, making adjustments to the therapy plan as needed to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Parent and Caregiver Education
Family involvement is key to successful therapy. We provide ongoing education and support, empowering you to reinforce your child's learning and development at home.
Generalization and Maintenance
Skills learned during therapy are applied to daily routines, helping your child generalize these behaviors to other settings, such as school or the community.

How long will it take for my child to start ABA therapy?
Depending on your location, and time of day you will have ABA sessions, we can start in as little as two weeks. After the Initial Assessment and Treatment Plan are developed, your Client Service Manager will contact your Health Insurance provider and submit for ABA coverage. We will be working on finding you a Behavior Technician that meets the needs of your child. Also, your Supervising Clinician will supervise the treatment plan and Behavior Technician moving forward. Once all staff is in place, and the ABA coverage through the insurance provider is authorized, we are ready to start!
Do I need to do all the recommended hours of therapy?
ABA therapy is a “dose-dependent” therapy, which means the higher the dose the greater the treatment effect.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, The National Research Council, and the National Standards Project of the National Autism Center all confirm that starting ABA therapy as soon as possible with intensive behavioral analytic intervention of 25-40 hours a week for 12 months a year is associated with “substantial, sustained gains in IQ, language, academic performance, and adaptive behavior, as well as some measures of social behavior, and their outcomes have been significantly better than those of children in control groups.
How long are ABA therapy sessions?
Therapy sessions are based upon the number of hours your Board Certified Behavior Analyst recommends as part of the treatment plan. Sessions will range from 2 to 5 hours based on the need of the individual child and the associated treatment goals your BCBA and yourself have created together.
How many hours of therapy does my child need?
ABA therapy is usually prescribed in “hours per week” – and this is oftentimes referred to as the “treatment dosage”. ABA therapy is a “dose-dependent” therapy, which means the higher the dose, the greater the treatment effect. To determine the appropriate amount of therapy hours, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will complete a behavior assessment prior to starting therapy and make a recommendation of therapy hours based on your child’s needs and your family’s goals for treatment.
Are parents involved in ABA therapy treatment planning?
Yes, you will! Parent and family involvement in the treatment planning for a child with autism is very important. You know your child best and your family’s goals for your child will be incorporated into the therapy treatment plan. In addition, it’s important for families to participate in ABA training sessions so that they can extend the child’s treatment to the hours outside of therapy.
What is Telesupervision and can Centria Autism provide it?
Telesupervision is a technology-enabled form of therapy delivery. In a Telesupervision session, a child will work one-on-one with their in-person Behavior Technician while being supervised by a remote BCBA through a secure, HIPAA-compliant web-based platform – much like a video chat. Centria Autism does offer Telesupervision when there is no or limited access to an in-person BCBA in that area.
Where does ABA therapy take place?
ABA Therapy can take place in the home or at a professionally managed center. ABA Therapy techniques work well in both environments. In choosing between the two, most families look for the most effective approach based upon the needs of their child and the demands of their lifestyle. The decision usually comes down to your personal preference and your child’s unique autism symptoms. Learn more about where Centria Autism provides in-home or center-based therapy on our Locations

What is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy is an evidence-based therapy in which behavior modifications are consistently applied and rewarded to make a meaningful change in overall behavior.
During ABA Therapy, skills are broken down into small, easy-to-learn steps. Positive reinforcement is used to motivate the child, and data is continuously collected to measure the child’s progress and modify their personalized treatment plan. ABA Therapy is the single most effective treatment for children with ASD and the only treatment shown to lead to substantial, lasting improvements in the lives of children with autism. Over 1,000 peer-reviewed, scientific autism articles describe ABA Therapy successes, leading to the National Institute of Health and the Association for Science in Autism Treatment to endorse the method, along with the U.S. Surgeon General.
