- Who is my child's BCBA, and is that person licensed in Virginia?
- How often will the BCBA see my child and coach me?
- What happens when a technician is sick or leaves?
- Can you start in my ZIP code, and when?
- Will I see my child's data every month?

In-home ABA removes the drive to a center, which frees up the busiest part of a family's day. Common patterns:
| Child | Typical in-home pattern |
|---|---|
| Toddler at home | Morning sessions, before nap |
| Preschooler | Afternoons after a half-day program |
| School-age child | After school, plus a short weekend session if the plan needs it |
Your child's hours are set by the BCBA's plan and your insurance. See what in-home ABA looks like.
