Frequently Asked Questions About ABA Therapy Types
ABA Therapy can be delivered in several ways depending on the child’s needs and the family’s
preferences. The main types include in-home ABA, center-based ABA, school-based ABA,
community-based
ABA, and telehealth ABA. There are also specialized approaches such as early
intervention, verbal
behavior therapy, social skills training, and discrete trial training (DTT).
In-home ABA Therapy takes place in the child’s home, making it easier to practice skills in
their
natural environment.
Center-based ABA Therapy happens in a clinic or treatment facility with access to structured
programs, group sessions, and specialized equipment.
Some families use both, depending on their child’s goals and schedule.
Community-based ABA sessions happen in real-world settings such as parks, stores, playgrounds, or
libraries. The goal is to help children practice communication, behavior, and social interaction
skills in everyday environments.
Telehealth ABA is delivered through video conferencing and digital platforms. It’s a great option
for families who live in rural areas, have limited access to providers, or prefer the convenience of
at-home online sessions.
Early intervention is designed for children under age 3 with developmental delays or autism.
Starting ABA Therapy early can help improve communication, reduce challenging behaviors, and support
long-term development.
Verbal Behavior (VB) Therapy is a branch of ABA that focuses specifically on language and
communication. It helps children learn to request, label, and engage in meaningful conversations
using reinforcement techniques.
DTT is a structured teaching method within ABA that breaks skills into small, manageable steps. Each
step is taught one at a time with repetition and positive reinforcement, making it especially
effective for teaching new skills.
The right therapy type depends on your child’s age, goals, and daily environment. For example,
younger children may benefit most from early intervention or in-home ABA, while school-age
children
may do better with school-based or social skills training. The best way to decide is to speak
with a
licensed ABA provider who can create a personalized care plan.
Yes, many families use a blended approach. For example, a child might attend center-based sessions
during the week, receive in-home ABA for daily routines, and participate in community-based or
social skills programs for peer interaction.
