What is ABA therapy at home?
L.E.M.Y.S offers home-based ABA therapy for children with autism, delivered in the comfort of their everyday environment. In-home therapy allows skills to be taught and practiced where daily routines naturally occur, helping children apply learning more easily to real-life situations. Therapy sessions are individualized and guided by evidence-based ABA practices, with a focus on communication, independence, and social development. Families are actively involved throughout the process, supporting consistency and carryover beyond each session. Availability of home-based services may vary by location.

Frequently asked questions
How long will my child need home-based ABA therapy?

Yes! Parents and caregivers are key to their child’s success. At home, you will have many opportunities to stay involved, including:
- Participating in Family Guidance with your child’s BCBA

We believe L.E.M.Y.S therapy works best when families and therapists work together as a team.
How do I know if my child is making progress in home-based ABA therapy?

- Written progress reports
- Easy-to-read graphs showing skill development
- Ongoing updates during parent meetings
- Direct communication from your clinical team
Therapy goals are always updated based on what your child needs to keep growing.
How is play-based early intervention used in at-home ABA therapy?
Play is an integral part of Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI). Children learn most effectively when they are engaged and having fun, so we utilize everyday play activities to teach communication, independence, and social interaction. Examples include:
- Building with blocks or completing puzzles
- Imaginative pretend play, such as cooking or shopping
- Cognitive games involving matching, sorting, and counting
- Creative expression through singing, dancing, or interactive storytime
- Collaborative turn-taking games like rolling a ball or Simon Says
These activities allow children to practice and master new skills in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.
How do therapists use positive reinforcement in home-based ABA therapy?
In home-based L.E.M.Y.S therapy, therapists utilize positive reinforcement to ensure children remain motivated and enthusiastic about learning. Reinforcement is specifically personalized for each child. Here is how our therapists apply positive reinforcement:
- Offering immediate praise and encouraging words like "Great job!" or "Well done!" after a child demonstrates a new skill.
- Providing access to preferred activities, such as playing with a favorite toy, as a reward for engagement.
- Implementing a structured reward system where children earn stickers or tokens that can be exchanged for a desired activity or item.
These methods allow children to practice and master new skills in a way that feels both natural and rewarding.
