In-home ABA therapy in Kenai, AK
We serve the whole peninsula
Kenai Peninsula families are used to driving. We work with families across Kenai, Soldotna, Sterling, Nikiski, and Kasilof; wherever you are on the peninsula, we come to your home.
We handle the paperwork
Alaska Medicaid covers ABA for children under 21 through the federal EPSDT benefit. Alaska's fee-for-service system has no regional plan variation, so we submit the prior authorization to the state and sort everything out before your child's first session.
Skills that transfer everywhere
Every skill we build with your child points toward independence in the routines that shape your family's days. That's what this work is for.
What ABA therapy in Kenai can look like
Your child communicates what they need instead of shutting down. That’s communication.
They get through a family outing without it ending early. That’s regulation.
They walk into a classroom and find their seat. That’s independence.
They hold still next to another child long enough for something to happen. That’s connection.
You make it to the end of a week feeling like things are moving in the right direction. That’s progress.
ABA therapy services in Kenai, AK
In-home ABA therapy
The Kenai Peninsula is home territory: your home, your routines, your child's own environment. That's where skills last.
School-based ABA therapy
We coordinate with Kenai Peninsula Borough School District so therapy goals and school goals support each other. Planning an IEP meeting? Let us know early.
Parent training
Kenai Peninsula life is full-on. Parent training makes sure the skills your child builds in sessions carry through the rest of the week.
Autism assessment and diagnosis
Diagnostic access on the peninsula can be limited. We work with a partner offering virtual evaluations, and most families are scheduled within two to three weeks.
Community-based ABA
The hardware store in Soldotna, the park down the road, a family outing anywhere on the peninsula: community sessions build the skills that need to hold up everywhere.
