Initial Assessment

Every child’s journey begins with understanding their unique strengths and needs.

During the initial assessment, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will meet with your family to:

• Learn about your child’s strengths and challenges
• Discuss your family’s goals and concerns
• Observe your child’s skills and behaviors
• Determine whether ABA therapy is appropriate
• Develop personalized treatment recommendations

This assessment allows us to create a treatment plan that is tailored specifically to your child.

 In-Home ABA Therapy

Our in-home ABA therapy brings learning into your child’s natural environment, where meaningful skills can be practiced during everyday routines.

Therapy may focus on:

• Communication skills
• Social interaction
• Daily living skills
• Emotional regulation
• Play and leisure skills
• Reducing behaviors that interfere with learning
• Building independence

Our therapists work closely with each child while making learning engaging, positive, and individualized.

 Parent Training

Parents and caregivers play one of the most important roles in a child’s success.

Our parent training sessions provide practical strategies you can confidently use during daily routines to support your child’s continued growth outside of therapy.

Together, we’ll work on:

• Understanding your child’s treatment goals
• Learning effective behavior support strategies
• Encouraging communication and independence
• Building confidence in everyday situations
• Celebrating progress as a team

Our goal is to empower families with the knowledge and tools they need to help their child thrive.

 Our Promise

At Helping Hands, we believe therapy is most successful when children, families, and clinicians work together. We are committed to providing compassionate, individualized care while celebrating every milestone—big or small.

Growing Together, One Step at a Time. 

What is ABA therapy?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapy that helps children develop meaningful skills while reducing behaviors that may interfere with learning and daily life. Every treatment plan is individualized to meet each child’s unique needs and goals.

Where are services provided?

We provide ABA therapy in the comfort of your home, allowing your child to learn in a familiar environment where everyday routines become meaningful learning opportunities.

What ages do you work with?

We work with children of various ages who can benefit from ABA therapy. During the initial assessment, we’ll determine whether our services are the right fit for your child’s needs.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes! We are currently in-network with:

• Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS)

• Aetna

If you’re unsure about your benefits, we’d be happy to help verify your insurance coverage.

How do I get started?

Getting started is simple!

1. Contact us by phone, email, or through our website.

How long are therapy sessions?

Session length varies based on your child’s individual treatment plan and recommendations from the BCBA. We’ll discuss the recommended schedule with you after the initial assessment.

Will I be involved in my child’s therapy?

Absolutely! We believe parents and caregivers are essential members of the treatment team. We provide ongoing parent training and collaboration so you feel confident supporting your child’s progress outside of therapy sessions.

How often will my child receive therapy?

The number of therapy hours depends on your child’s individual needs and the recommendations made during the assessment process. Every treatment plan is personalized.
