In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Ingham County

Ingham County families have several ABA service delivery options. In-home ABA brings therapy into your home, helping children learn skills in their natural environment. Center-based programs offer structured settings with peer interaction opportunities, often found in Lansing, East Lansing, and Okemos.

Telehealth ABA has also become a flexible option, allowing BCBAs to provide parent coaching and direct supervision remotely. Many local providers offer a blend of these services, making it easier to fit therapy into your family's routine.

What to look for in an ABA provider

When choosing an ABA provider in Ingham County, look for a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who directly oversees your child's program. The BCBA should conduct an individualized assessment, create measurable goals, and provide ongoing supervision to behavior technicians.

Also consider parent training, data transparency, and whether the provider accepts your insurance or Medicaid plan. A good provider will collaborate with your family and any other therapists your child sees.
