In-Home Autism Safety & Sensory Optimization

Because therapy doesn’t stop at the clinic door.

At Howard Intervention Center, we understand that a child’s environment can make a big difference in their development and comfort. That’s why we offer personalized in-home consultations to help families create safer, more functional, and autism-friendly living spaces.
Whether your child is newly diagnosed or you’ve been on this journey for years, our specialists come to you—equipped with evidence-based strategies and a compassionate approach.

What We Do During the Visit:

  • 🔐 Safety Recommendations: Identifying risks like open outlets, unsecured furniture, accessible cleaning products, and exit-seeking hazards
  • 🎨 Sensory-Friendly Setup: Guidance on calming color palettes, lighting, noise control, and sensory tool placement
  • 📦 Organization for Function: Visual labels, behavior cue cards, schedules, and task systems customized to your child’s needs
  • 🚪 Elopement Prevention & Door Alarms: Support installing visual barriers, door/window alerts, and creating safe “pause zones”
  • 🧼 Hygiene & Independence Zones: Bathroom and kitchen tips for promoting self-care skills through visuals and task sequencing
  • 🤝 Parent Coaching: We offer real-time modeling and coaching so you can maintain structure and safety every day

Howard Intervention Center provides a school-based consultation approach to support teachers and staff in scientifically based behavior modification. When working with school districts the identified client/student does not have to have an autism diagnosis, only a need for behavior modification. Howard Intervention Center will observe, assess, and write a behavior modification program for the identified student and train the teacher/team to carry it out to bring a positive change in the environment and student.

Howard Intervention Center is THE go-to resource for local schools when they need supplemental ABA therapy services to meet new challenges and reach behavior goals. We provide a range of support, for in-school and/or home-bound/schooled students.
