Virtual ABA for High-Commitment Families: Maximizing Your Child's Progress from Home

Why High-Commitment Families Love Virtual ABA

Parents who focus intensely on their child's development often find traditional clinic-based ABA creates more problems than it solves:

Travel time eats up your day. Even a 20-minute drive becomes an hour-long disruption when you factor in getting ready, parking, and waiting.

You're left out of the process. Many clinics ask parents to wait in another room, missing out on learning what actually works for your child.

Rigid schedules don't fit real life. Your child might be most alert at 10 AM, but the clinic only has 3 PM slots available.

Virtual ABA eliminates these frustrations. Therapy happens where your child is most comfortable, and you're right there to learn, ask questions, and become a true partner in their progress.

How Forta's Virtual ABA Works for Hands-On Parents

We built our virtual ABA program knowing that involved parents are their child's greatest asset. Here's what makes our approach different:

Your child's plan is built around your family. We don't just look at clinical goals. We consider your daily routines, your child's preferences, and what works best in your home environment.

You get direct access to expert clinicians. Your BCBA becomes your partner, not just your child's therapist. You'll have regular check-ins, ask questions, and get personalized guidance.

Real-time parent coaching happens during sessions. While your child is learning new skills, you're learning how to support those skills throughout the day.

Flexible scheduling that actually works. Sessions fit around nap times, meal schedules, and those magical moments when your child is most ready to learn.

The Power of Parent Involvement in ABA

Research shows that children make faster, stronger progress when parents are actively involved in ABA therapy. Virtual sessions put you in the perfect position to:

Turn everyday moments into learning opportunities. Instead of limiting skill-building to therapy hours, you can practice communication during snack time or work on independence while getting dressed.

Spot progress as it happens. You'll notice small improvements that might get missed in a traditional clinic setting, helping your clinical team adjust strategies in real time.

Build a stronger connection with your child. When you're actively participating in therapy, you become more than a caregiver. You become a skilled partner in your child's development.

For families who are already deeply committed to their child's growth, virtual ABA isn't just convenient. It's transformational.

Common Goals We Help Families Achieve

With virtual ABA through Forta, high-commitment families often work toward:

• Building stronger communication and language skills
• Developing social and play abilities
• Increasing independence in daily routines like toileting, dressing, and eating
• Reducing challenging behaviors like aggression or self-injury
• Getting ready for school or group activities

Because you're so involved in the process, progress often happens faster than traditional clinic-based therapy. Parents frequently tell us they feel more confident and capable of supporting their child's development.

A Typical Day with Virtual ABA

Here's what it might look like:

5:00 PM - Your behavior technician (BT) joins you for your daily 90-minute session via secure video. Today's focus is helping your child communicate their needs more effectively during dinner preparation and mealtime.

During the session - You practice new strategies together in real-time. Your BT coaches you through techniques while your child learns and practices skills. You ask questions, get immediate feedback, and see what works best for your child.

After the session - You feel confident using the strategies you just learned throughout the evening routine - bath time, getting ready for bed, and story time all become opportunities to reinforce the skills your child practiced.

The next day - You continue implementing what you learned, turning breakfast and morning routines into natural learning moments. You jot down observations in your parent portal to share with your clinical team.

With daily sessions, your child gets consistent, intensive support while you develop the skills to reinforce their learning throughout each day. Instead of limiting progress to a few hours per week, your entire home environment becomes a place where growth happens naturally and consistently.

Real Families, Real Results

Emily is a stay-at-home mom in Kentucky whose 5-year-old son was diagnosed with autism last year. After waiting months for an opening at a local clinic, she decided to try Forta's virtual ABA program.

"Being part of every session changed everything for us," Emily explains. "I see exactly what helps my son, I get coached in real time, and I can support his learning all day long, not just during therapy hours. It's honestly been life-changing for our family."
