"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood." — Fred Rogers

In-Home ABA Services

Guided by Play provides individualized, in-home ABA services designed to support young children and their families in the environments where they learn and grow every day. Services begin with a comprehensive assessment to identify your child's strengths, areas of need, and meaningful goals for intervention.

Treatment recommendations are tailored to each child and may include direct support, parent coaching, and individualized behavior plans. Sessions are led by a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and are designed to be engaging, play-based, and developmentally appropriate. We incorporate evidence-based practices, including naturalistic developmental and behavioral interventions such as the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), when appropriate.

Services are typically provided on a weekly basis and focus on building communication, social engagement, play skills, independence, and positive family routines.

Parent Coaching & Family Support

Parents and caregivers play a vital role in a child's development. Our parent coaching services are designed to provide practical strategies that can be integrated into everyday routines and activities.

Whenever possible, coaching begins with observation in the home environment to better understand your family's unique strengths, challenges, and goals. Together, we develop individualized strategies that support skill development, increase independence, and address behaviors that may be interfering with daily life.

Our goal is not only to support your child during sessions, but to help caregivers feel confident implementing effective strategies throughout the week. By empowering families with knowledge and tools they can use in real-life situations, lasting progress becomes more achievable.

Parent coaching services are available for families of children with autism as well as families seeking support with behavior, communication, routines, social skills, and other developmental concerns.

School Collaboration & Consultation

Meaningful progress often occurs when the individuals supporting a child work together. Guided by Play offers consultation and collaboration services for schools, teachers, and educational teams to help promote consistency across settings.

Services may include classroom observations, school-based assessments, staff training, behavior support planning, and consultation with educational teams. Recommendations are individualized and designed to support success within the classroom environment while maintaining a collaborative approach with educators and caregivers.

Following assessment and consultation, recommendations are provided based on your child's individual needs, with services available across home, school, and community settings when appropriate.
