Is online ABA therapy right for every child?

Not always. Some children benefit more from in-person support, but online ABA is excellent for parent training and coaching.

What do I need for online ABA?

A device with a camera, internet connection, and a quiet space are usually enough.

Can online ABA replace in-home or school-based ABA?

It can complement them, but many families see the best results with a blend of both.

Telehealth ABA Therapy: Can ABA Be Done Online Effectively?

Can ABA therapy be done online? The short answer is yes. Thanks to telehealth, families can now connect with a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) through video sessions.

While not every skill can be taught virtually, online ABA therapy can provide parents with valuable coaching and give children consistent support right from the comfort of home.

In online ABA therapy, a BCBA guides parents through strategies they can use during daily routines. They may demonstrate techniques like positive reinforcement, prompting, or shaping, and then give feedback as parents practice with their child.

Progress is tracked closely, and goals are adjusted along the way. For some children, in-person therapy is still the best fit, especially when direct hands-on support is needed. But for many families, online ABA adds flexibility and makes services accessible when in-person sessions aren’t possible.

Research shows that telehealth ABA can be effective, particularly when parents are actively involved and continue practicing strategies between sessions. Many families use online ABA together with in-home or school-based therapy, creating a strong balance of support.

At Achieve Behavioral Therapy, we understand that no two children learn the same way. That’s why we offer in-home ABA therapy to help children thrive in their natural environment, and school-based ABA therapy to build skills for success in the classroom. We proudly serve families across New Jersey and North Carolina.

If you’re ready to explore how ABA therapy—whether online, in-home, or school-based—can support your child’s growth, contact Achieve Behavioral Therapy today. Together, we can create a plan that works for your family and helps your child reach their fullest potential.
