Introducing our New In-Home ABA Program!

We at Behavior TLC would like to take a minute to introduce our new In-Home ABA program to the public! 

Our team has been working tirelessly over the last many months to create a program that provides you and your children with ABA therapy outside of the clinic and in your own homes. Our Director Alexandra Kehlenbeck, is a certified teacher as well as a board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA) who is licensed in the state of Texas. She is so excited to be providing this much-needed ABA therapy service to families.

Scheduling Your In-Home Therapy Sessions

The in-home therapy schedule consists of 3 possible sessions per day (Monday through Thursday) and two sessions on Friday. Each session is 2.5 hours in length with a 30-minute break in between.

Session 1- 7:30am-10:00am

Session 2- 10:30am-1:00pm

Session 3- 1:30pm-4:00pm

Depending on the needs of the client, our team can provide full-time therapy or part-time therapy which can then be individualized by choosing 2 or 3 sessions per day or selecting therapy on only certain days of the week.

The Team Behind Your In-Home ABA Therapy Sessions

With the in-home program, our families will have their own dedicated BCBA, a lead technician, and various RBTs (registered behavior technicians) that will most regularly implement the treatment plans. 

The BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst)

• Provides direct supervision of the client and staff
• Monitors and modifies treatment goals

The Lead Technician

• Trains new RBTs 
• Trains the rest of the team on new interventions
• Monitors the implementation of treatment
• Monitors data collection
• Writes monthly reports of progress for parents

The RBT

• Implements the treatment goals written by the BCBA
• Implements the behavior intervention plan written by the BCBA
• Communicates regularly with the lead technician and BCBA on the progress of the client

Learned Skills To Expect During In-Home ABA Therapy

During in-home ABA therapy, sessions are geared toward targeting a variety of challenges your child may be facing based from self-help/independent living to communication to social skills as well as the reduction of undesirable challenging behaviors. Treatment in the clinic does provide access to these learning domains, but there are many skills and behaviors that are even better to address in the home. 

In-home therapy provides a unique experience where learning occurs in the exact setting where the learned skills are to be applied! 

This is especially useful when teaching hygiene skills (ex: bathing, brushing teeth, dressing, toileting, etc.) as well as following directions that are often given at home (ex: chores such as cleaning their room, feeding pets, emptying the dishwasher, etc.) 

Another added bonus to the in-home program is that it becomes easier for the caregiver to also receive training! 

Due to the policy requirement for an adult over the age of 18 to be home during treatment times, we have found that caregivers have exclusive insight into the learning targets and the techniques being taught. Having a BCBA come to your home, and providing 1 on 1 training gives you more insight and support on the prompts being used to teach different skills.
