In-Home ABA Therapy in Chesterfield County, VA
We bring BCBA-led ABA therapy to homes across Chesterfield County, with clinicians who live and work in the Richmond area.

In-Home Care
A diagnosis is a lot. The next step doesn't have to be.
Most families find us right after a diagnosis, staring down a pile of acronyms: IEP, BCBA, RBT, prior authorization. Our team explains every piece in plain language, and through our interpreter service we can talk with parents in 334 languages, so whatever language your family speaks at home, we speak it with you. We verify your insurance benefits as soon as you reach out, so you know what is covered before you commit to anything, and we handle the back-and-forth with insurance to advocate for the services your child qualifies for. You focus on your kid. If you are still waiting on a diagnosis, start with our diagnosis page; our telehealth partner As You Are evaluates children across Virginia.

Why we come to you
Skills stick where they're learned Your therapist works in the rooms where your child actually lives: the kitchen, the playroom, the backyard. A skill practiced at your own dinner table transfers to real life far better than one practiced in a clinic across town.
Your BCBA sees real life The morning rush before school drop-off, the meltdown when a sibling gets home, how your child handles the dog or the doorbell. Seeing the real routine is what makes a treatment plan work outside the session.
A county this big needs house calls Chesterfield stretches from Bon Air to Enon, and most ABA clinics sit in one corner of it. Driving a tired kid across the county several times a week is a lot to ask, so we drive instead, and sessions flex around school and activities.
Day to day
What a session looks like
One on one, built around your child A typical session runs a few hours of structured, play-based teaching using what your child already loves: blocks, books, snacks, the family dog. The goals are practical. Asking for what they want, riding out a transition, getting through a meal at the table.
A BCBA writes the plan, an RBT runs the sessions A Board Certified Behavior Analyst designs your child's program, watches the data, and adjusts goals. A Registered Behavior Technician runs the day-to-day sessions and is the person your child sees most. Both will know your kid's name, favorite toy, and the thing that always sets them off.
Parents stay in the loop You see the data, you hear what worked, and through parent and caregiver training you learn the same strategies, so progress doesn't stop when the session ends.
