  1. What to Expect from Your Child’s Telehealth ABA Sessions Trying something new for your child can feel a bit overwhelming, especially when it involves their care and development. If you’re considering Telehealth ABA therapy Utah, you probably have questions. How does it work? Will my child stay focused? What will the therapist actually do on a screen? Good news—you’re not alone. And even better? Telehealth ABA is easier and more effective than you might think. With the right setup and support, it can be a smooth and rewarding experience for both you and your child. Before the Session Starts It all begins with a quick setup. Don’t worry—no fancy tech required. A tablet, laptop, or even a smartphone works just fine. The provider usually sends a secure video link, and joining is just a click away. Before your child’s first session, you’ll likely have a brief conversation with the therapist. This helps them understand your goals, your child’s behavior, and any concerns you have. They

  2. may also ask a few questions about your home environment—because it helps them shape a plan that actually works where your child lives and plays every day. Pro tip: Try to find a quiet, comfy space without too many distractions. Having a favorite toy or snack nearby can help ease your child into it. During the Session Now for the fun part—what actually happens during Telehealth ABA sessions? It depends on your child’s needs and goals. For younger kids or those new to therapy, the session may feel more like guided play. The therapist might use visual cues, games, or simple activities that your child already enjoys. Everything is done at your child’s pace. For some families, the therapist will guide the parent or caregiver in real time. You’ll get instructions, tips, and feedback as you help your child with tasks or behavior goals. This “coaching model” is great because it puts real tools in your hands—not just during sessions, but all day long. And if your child is a little older or used to routines, the therapist may work more directly with them through the screen. Either way, it’s interactive, engaging, and totally personalized. After the Session Ends Once the session wraps up, you’ll usually get a quick summary from the therapist. They’ll explain what went well, what needs work, and what to focus on before the next session. You might get some follow-up activities or simple goals to try at home. Don’t worry if your child seems tired or even a bit fussy afterward—it’s totally normal. These sessions can be mentally engaging, even through a screen. Be sure to offer water, a snack, or just some downtime. And of course, celebrate the little wins—they matter.
