What in-home ABA therapy looks like in Kansas City

In-home ABA means your child's ABA therapist — a trained behavior technician working from a plan your BCBA wrote — comes to your Kansas City home. Skills get taught where they're used: getting dressed in the bedroom, waiting at the kitchen table, handling the doorbell, playing with a sibling.

Your BCBA visits regularly to update the plan and coach you, and parent training is built in — because the hours between sessions matter as much as the sessions. Read more on our in-home ABA page or our guide to how many hours of ABA a child needs.

Is in-home ABA the right fit for your Kansas City family?

Kansas City is home to about 42,905 children, about 11,000 of them under 5. At the CDC's 1-in-31 estimate, roughly 1,384 Kansas City kids may be on the autism spectrum.

About 68% of Kansas City children under 6 live in homes where every parent works. If daytime at home is hard for your family, sessions can also happen at daycare in Kansas City — many families mix both.

In-home ABA tends to suit younger children, kids who find new places overwhelming, and families who want to learn the strategies right alongside the therapist. Our guide to home vs. daycare sessions walks through the trade-offs.

Kansas City schools and ABA

Most Kansas City public-school students attend USD 500 Kansas City (about 22,000 students), USD 202 Turner-Kansas City (about 3,900 students), USD 203 Piper-Kansas City (about 2,800 students). If your child has an IEP or a school evaluation, share it with your BCBA: when home goals and school goals line up, kids hear the same expectations in both places and progress tends to stick.
