What is ABA therapy?
ABA therapy, or Applied Behavior Analysis, helps children build communication, daily living, social, and behavior skills through individualized teaching and positive reinforcement.
In-Home ABA Therapy · New York City
Therapy where real life happens.
In-home ABA therapy that meets your child where they are — building communication, independence, and connection in the moments and places where those skills matter most.
Welcome to Attuned ABA
Support that feels calm, personal, and effective.
Attuned ABA was founded on the belief that meaningful progress begins with connection. Children learn best when they feel safe, understood, and supported by people who are patient enough to meet them where they are — and skilled enough to help them grow.
Our team provides one-on-one ABA therapy in the home, with individualized goals created through clinical assessment, caregiver input, and ongoing observation. We work closely with families because lasting progress does not happen in isolation. It happens during meals, playtime, transitions, bedtime routines, community outings, and everyday moments.
At Attuned ABA, therapy is not a one-size-fits-all program. It is a thoughtful, structured partnership between the child, family, BCBA, and behavior technician.
"We take time to build trust before expecting progress."
What We Do
Individualized ABA therapy in your child's natural environment.
Attuned ABA provides in-home ABA therapy for children with autism. Our services are designed to help children build meaningful skills, reduce barriers to learning, and participate more fully in family and community life.
In your child's natural environment
In-home ABA allows children to practice skills where they are most likely to use them — during play, transitions, routines, and everyday family moments.
Evidence-based and structured
ABA uses careful assessment, structured teaching, positive reinforcement, and ongoing progress monitoring to help children learn meaningfully.
Naturalistic and respectful
We use ABA in a way that is naturalistic, respectful, child-centered, and tailored to each family — never one-size-fits-all.

Our Approach
Rooted in trust. Guided by evidence. Centered around the family.
Therapy Where Real Life Happens
Sessions may focus on communication during play, tolerating transitions, following routines, building independence, asking for help, or participating calmly at home. Because therapy happens in the home, caregivers can observe strategies, ask questions, and learn how to support their child throughout the week.
Respectful Behavioral Support
When challenging behaviors occur, we look for the reason behind them. Our goal is to teach safer, more effective ways for children to communicate and cope — not to force compliance without understanding. We focus on prevention, skill-building, reinforcement, and compassionate support.
Data-Driven Progress
Our team tracks progress toward goals and uses that data to adjust strategies over time. If a child is moving quickly, goals can be expanded. If something is not working, the plan can be revised. Families receive updates so they understand how their child is progressing.
Family-Centered Planning
Caregivers know their child best. Family input is part of every stage of care. Whether a family needs support with morning routines, mealtimes, bedtime, communication, safety, or community outings, we build the plan around real needs — not just goals that look good on paper.
Clinical Assessment & Treatment Planning
Every child begins with a clinical assessment. A BCBA evaluates strengths, needs, current skills, family priorities, and daily routines, then creates an individualized plan with measurable goals. As the child grows, learns, and develops new needs, the program grows with them.
Child-Centered Care
Every child brings their own personality, strengths, preferences, sensory needs, and pace of learning. We take time to build trust before expecting progress — understanding what motivates each child, what overwhelms them, and what helps them feel safe.

Family Stories
What NYC families are saying
Real progress looks different for every child. Here is what parents share about working with Attuned ABA in their homes.
“Having therapy happen in our own living room changed everything. Our son started using words at dinner, not just during sessions. The team truly listened to what mattered to our family.”
“The parent coaching gave us tools we use every single day. We finally feel confident handling transitions and meltdowns instead of dreading them.”
“They handled the insurance authorization from start to finish and kept us informed the whole way. Our daughter's BCBA is warm, thorough, and genuinely invested in her progress.”
Insurance & Authorization
Support with paperwork, authorization, and next steps.
Attuned ABA helps families understand the insurance and Medicaid authorization process for ABA services. Coverage depends on the child's plan, diagnosis, documentation, medical necessity, and authorization requirements.
Our team works with families to gather required documents, submit information when appropriate, and communicate with insurance during the intake process.
Once services begin, caregivers may receive updates, training, and support so that therapy goals can be reinforced outside of sessions. Caregiver participation may be required by some insurance plans and is often an important part of helping children make lasting progress.
