In-home ABA, now in Columbus, OH
Schedule your callYou've spent months on waitlists and unreturned calls. Here's a way to actually start: In-Home ABA therapy for children with autism, now enrolling across Greater Columbus.
Most families wait months to start ABA. Because our BCBAs assess remotely, we skip that bottleneck — so a dedicated RBT can begin in-home sessions (about 15 hours a week, with a parent present) in a matter of weeks. Here's what makes it work.
Because we assess remotely, we skip the scheduling bottlenecks that delay other providers. Start in weeks, not months, with flexible sessions built around your family's week.
Therapy happens exactly where your child lives. Skills generalize naturally because they're learned in context — at the table, during a transition, with siblings.
Parents aren't spectators. Watch your RBT in action, ask questions in real time, and learn techniques you'll use with your child between sessions.
In-home ABA requires an autism diagnosis and a minimum of 15 hours per week, with a parent or guardian present during sessions.
In Forta's published research, families who stayed involved saw stronger gains than conventional ABA delivery. That word, involved, matters: these are averages for parents who took an active part in sessions, not a guarantee for any one child.

ABA is the gold standard for helping children on the autism spectrum build real-world skills, and it works best when families are part of it. A BCBA designs the plan, a dedicated RBT delivers it, and you learn right alongside them. That is how progress lasts.
Your child learns at home, and you get the tools for every step. Sessions run about 15 hours a week with a parent present, and that involvement is what makes progress stick.

Unedited reviews from families in Forta's Virtual and In-Home ABA programs.
“Very professional and supportive services. They are great at working around my schedule. I love having the opportunity to work with professionals who care about my family's needs.”
“The therapy has helped build up skills to improve our son's behavior. He has shown great improvement with fewer tantrums and outbursts.”
“I have seen amazing progress at home due to the wonderful staff at Forta. Having it done virtually has been wonderful. My son does not like when people come into our home. I call our sessions ‘computer school’ and this has made him enjoy it.”
“We love the way it complements our homeschool day. Our daughter is making huge strides. Patient and knowledgeable, I highly recommend. The only wait time was due to the insurance company.”
“My daughter has autism and has been speaking so well. We came from nothing to 3-word sentences and I could cry. I fought so hard to get her in ABA and it's paying off. Forta is amazing.”
“My daughter has grown a bond with the team, and even when she is tired she looks forward to talking with them. They work with me on rescheduling efficiently. Overall we've had a great experience.”
Most providers bottleneck on the initial clinical assessment. Because our BCBAs assess remotely, we skip that delay and get a dedicated RBT into your home in weeks, not months. The therapy itself is fully in-home and in-person.
A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) comes to your home and works with your child where they live and play, about 15 hours a week. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) designs and supervises the plan. A parent or guardian is present during sessions, so skills carry into everyday routines.
In-home ABA works best when it transfers to daily life. Being present lets you see the techniques in action, ask questions in real time, and reinforce what your child is learning between sessions. You are a partner in the work, not the clinician.
