Behavioral Support, Delivered at Home

When a child is struggling with difficult behaviors, the hardest part is often that those behaviors happen at home. In-home behavioral therapy meets your family exactly there.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, in-home behavioral therapy focuses on understanding and changing specific behaviors in the environment where they actually occur. A trained therapist and a paraprofessional works directly with your child and your family to identify what is driving challenging behaviors and build practical strategies to address them. These are strategies your family can use every day, not just during a session.

This service is available in Massachusetts through the Children's Behavioral Health Initiative (CBHI), a MassHealth-funded program for children and families.

In-home behavioral therapy is a good fit for children and teens who display challenging behaviors at home that are difficult to manage, families who need practical tools and strategies (rather than just a place to talk), children whose behaviors are affecting family life, school performance, or relationships, and households where a parent or caregiver wants direct support and coaching alongside their child.

This service is available in Massachusetts only, through the Children's Behavioral Health Initiative (CBHI) program.

Your family starts with an assessment to understand your child's behaviors, what is driving them, and what your family's goals are. From there, a provider designs an individualized plan and works with your child and family directly in the home.

Sessions are structured around your child's specific behavioral goals. Your provider coaches parents and caregivers on how to respond to challenging behaviors consistently and effectively. Progress is tracked regularly, and the approach is adjusted as your child develops.
