Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD®)

Home-Based Services are structured similarly to CARD®’s Center-Based programs, providing one-to-one Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children, adolescents, and adults. The key difference is where learning happens. Instead of being held inside a CARD® center, these sessions take place in natural environments such as your home, school, or community.
Our board-certified behavior technicians deliver individualized sessions under the supervision of highly trained Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), using the cutting-edge CARD® curriculum to support meaningful, measurable progress.
One of the most important components of effective ABA is teaching skills that truly matter, skills that help individuals become more independent, confident, and successful in their daily lives. To achieve this, ABA must go beyond structured lessons and be practiced in real-world situations. Home-Based Services allow learners to apply what they’ve learned directly in the environments where those skills are used, making each lesson more relevant and impactful.
Home-Based Services create powerful opportunities for individuals to practice and generalize skills across different people, places, and situations. This helps ensure that what is learned in ABA sessions becomes part of everyday life. By practicing skills in the places where they naturally occur, learners strengthen their ability to use those skills confidently and consistently.
Sessions may incorporate:
No two learners are alike, and neither are their treatment plans. CARD® develops individualized activities and programs designed to help each child apply newly learned skills to real interactions and natural settings. This ensures that the progress made during ABA therapy translates into meaningful improvements in daily life.
Whether it’s communicating needs, making friends, following routines, participating at school, or navigating the community, our home-based approach helps bridge the gap between structured learning and everyday success. Together with families and caregivers, CARD® empowers learners to grow, thrive, and carry their skills forward with confidence.
