The right in-school support changes everything
Your child looks forward to Monday mornings. Drop-off happens without anxiety, without tears, without dread. They come home talking about what they learned, who they played with, and what went right.
Career Based Solutions makes this possible.
What is school-based ABA therapy?
School-based ABA therapy delivers expert support right in your child's classroom. Instead of pulling them aside for separate sessions, our therapists integrate into the school day, helping your child navigate the moments that matter most.
How it works
Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and therapists partner with your child's teachers and school staff to deliver consistent, personalized support during the actual school day.
What we address
Classroom routines, maintaining focus during instructions, requesting help when needed, handling frustration, social interactions with peers, and developing independence in the school setting.
Why it works
When your child practices skills with their actual teacher, in their actual classroom, during school activities, those skills become second nature. No gap between therapy and reality.
What school-based therapy looks like
We show up when it's hardest
Morning circle. Group work. Transitions. Recess. We're present for the moments your child struggles with most, showing them how to succeed.
We partner with educators
We understand how your child's teacher structures the day, what's expected, and how routines flow. Then we equip your child to meet those expectations.
Real skills in real time
When your child learns to raise their hand in their classroom, ask their teacher for help, and work alongside their classmates—those skills become automatic.
Watch school become manageable
You stop dreading the school's number on caller ID
Homework becomes doable
Your child mentions friends' names
Mornings stop feeling like war

FAQs about in-school ABA therapy
Will other kids notice and treat my child differently?
No. We integrate into the classroom naturally, so your child gets support without being singled out. Most classmates don't even realize therapy is happening.
How does this fit with their IEP?
We collaborate with the IEP team and coordinate with other service providers. We enhance what's already in place, not replace it.
What if my child's teacher isn't open to it?
Most teachers welcome the help. We make their job easier by providing strategies and support that benefit the whole classroom.
How long will this take?
We aim to build your child's independence so they eventually don't need us. Many kids make significant progress within one school year.
Does this work in mainstream classrooms?
Absolutely. Many of our students are in general education classes and just need targeted support to keep pace with peers.
Can you be there during unstructured time?
Yes. Lunch, recess, and transitions are often when struggles surface most. We provide support wherever your child needs it.
Where do you provide school-based services?
We serve schools throughout Fredericksburg, Stafford, Spotsylvania, King George, Falmouth, Garrisonville, Locust Grove, Thornburg, and across Virginia. Contact us to confirm availability in your district.
Can we combine this with in-home therapy?
Definitely. Many families benefit from both school-based and home-based ABA therapy, working together for consistency across settings.
Your child deserves to succeed at school
And you deserve it too
School can be a place where your child feels capable. Where they connect with classmates. Where they experience success, not just stress.
With the right support in the right place, that's not a wish, it's a plan.
Each milestone begins with one small step. Let's take it together.
