Can ABA Therapy Be Done Online?

July 21, 2025

Yes, ABA therapy can be done online through telehealth ABA services. This approach allows therapists to work with children and parents virtually, using video calls and interactive tools. While it’s different from in-person sessions, online ABA can still be effective, especially for parent training, behavior consultations, and teaching certain skills like communication and social interaction.

Online ABA therapy works best for children who can engage with a therapist through a screen or for parents who want direct coaching on how to support their child at home. It can also be a great solution for families in remote areas or those who need more flexible scheduling.


However, not every skill can be taught virtually. For example, intensive behavior reduction programs or certain hands-on tasks may require in-person sessions. Many families use a hybrid model, combining in-person and online therapy for the best results.


Wondering if online ABA therapy is right for your child? At Divine Steps ABA, we offer comprehensive ABA services in Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina tailored to your family’s needs.
