Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy in San Francisco & the Bay Area
Raising a child with autism comes with unique joys and challenges—and you shouldn’t have to navigate it alone.
At Celeration ABA, we provide compassionate, personalized ABA therapy across San Francisco and the Bay Area. Our mission is to help your child thrive by building meaningful skills in communication, independence, and social interaction—right in the comfort of your home.
What You Really Need to Know
What Is ABA Therapy?
If you’ve been researching ABA therapy, you’ve probably come across a lot of mixed opinions.
Some families say it changed their child’s life.
Others say it felt rigid or outdated.
And if you’re like most parents, you’re left wondering:
Is ABA right for my child?
Here’s the truth:
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a science-backed approach that helps children with autism build real, everyday skills—like asking for help, handling transitions, or playing with a sibling. At its best, ABA is personalized, compassionate, and deeply human.
At Celeration ABA, we take that promise seriously.
We provide in-home ABA therapy across San Francisco and the Bay Area, but more importantly—we do it differently.
We focus on:
-
Connection over compliance
-
Skills that actually matter to your child’s life
-
A therapy plan that grows with your family—not against it
Our programs are led by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who work directly with your family. No handoffs. No guesswork. Just expert care, tailored to your child’s strengths, needs, and goals.
If you’ve heard ABA can be too cold or too clinical—you’re not wrong. That kind of therapy still exists. But it’s not what we do here.
We’re here to support your child’s development with kindness, science, and respect—because therapy should never feel like a fight.

Here’s how it works:
1. A Thorough Assessment (Not a One-Size-Fits-All Plan)
​
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). This isn’t just checking boxes — we take the time to understand your child’s communication, behavior patterns, social skills, and what life looks like for your family right now
Learn more about our ABA assessments.
2. A Personalized Therapy Plan That Grows With Your Child
​
Using what we learn in the assessment, we develop a custom ABA therapy plan focused on meaningful goals — like reducing meltdowns, improving communication, or building independence with daily routines. Every program is individualized and responsive, with regular updates based on your child’s progress.
3. In-Home Sessions That Fit Your Real Life
Our BCBAs provide therapy in the environment that matters most: your home. This allows us to practice real-life skills in real-life situations — from morning routines to mealtimes to playground transitions. We also offer support in schools or community settings when needed.
4. Ongoing Parent Coaching and Collaboration
​
We believe in empowering you, not replacing you. That’s why parent coaching is a key part of our approach. We’ll guide you through what’s working, model strategies in action, and give you tools you can use every day — even outside of sessions.Read more about our parent coaching services.
5. Transparent Communication and Weekly Updates
You’ll never be left wondering how things are going. We provide regular progress updates, clear communication, and shared decision-making — so you’re always part of the process.
Whether you’re brand new to ABA therapy in the Bay Area or looking to make a change, we’re here to help you navigate each step with clarity and confidence.
