One-to-One ABA Therapy
One-to-one ABA therapy may combine play, structured teaching, and everyday routines to help your child build skills based on assessed needs and individualized goals.
What One-to-One ABA Therapy May Look Like
One-to-one ABA therapy provides individualized support based on each child’s assessed strengths and needs, treatment goals, family priorities, and daily routines.
Sessions may combine play-based learning, teaching in natural settings, everyday activities, and structured instruction. The approach used depends on what will best help the child learn and use skills across people, routines, and environments.
Treatment may focus on functional communication, choice, self-advocacy, safety, coping, and participation in daily life. Children may learn to request help, ask for a break, communicate preferences, express “no,” and participate more independently in routines. When relevant, goals may also support school participation through skills such as following routines, transitioning, joining group activities, and communicating needs.
When behavior-support goals are included in the treatment plan, sessions may focus on understanding patterns, reducing preventable barriers, and teaching safer communication, coping, and participation skills. Progress is monitored through ongoing data collection and clinical review.
