Child raising hand during online ABA therapy session.

Yes — ABA therapy can be done online! Known as telehealth ABA, this approach uses secure video sessions to connect families with a qualified ABA therapist. It’s especially helpful when in-person services aren’t possible, whether due to location, scheduling, or health concerns.

How Online ABA Works

Through telehealth ABA, sessions happen over a video platform. The therapist guides parents, caregivers, or even the individual directly, using interactive tools, visual prompts, and real-time feedback. This allows skills to be practiced right at home, in a familiar environment.

Benefits of online ABA therapy:

  • Access to ABA services even if you live far from a clinic
  • Flexible scheduling for busy families
  • Consistency in therapy during travel or health interruptions
  • Involves parents and caregivers more actively in sessions

Is Telehealth ABA as Effective as In-Person?

For many learners, yes. Research shows telehealth ABA can be just as effective for certain goals, especially when parents are actively involved. 

However, some cases — particularly those needing hands-on prompting — may benefit more from in-person sessions. That’s why a blended approach (some online, some in-person) often works best.

Whether online or in-person, our goal is the same: helping every child reach their full potential.
