In-Home ABA Therapy in South Valley, NM

South Valley is part of the Albuquerque metro, but it has its own identity — and your family deserves a therapist who knows that. Luminaria brings BCBA-supervised ABA therapy directly to your South Valley home. No driving across town to a clinic. Just real progress, right where your child feels safest.

South Valley Has Its Own Identity — Your Child's Therapy Should Too

South Valley is home to historic communities like Atrisco, Los Padillas, Pajarito, and Mountain View — neighborhoods with deep roots along the Rio Grande and the bosque. Despite being part of Bernalillo County, many South Valley families feel underserved when it comes to specialized care for children with autism.

In-home ABA therapy means your child learns in the spaces they already know — their bedroom, their backyard, the kitchen table. And because we're based right here in Albuquerque, our therapists are just minutes away. No long commutes, no clinical waiting rooms.

What Therapy Looks Like for Your Family

Your child will work one-on-one with a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who designs their individual treatment plan. Sessions happen in your home, on your schedule — mornings, after school, or evenings.

We focus on what matters most:

  • Communication — helping your child express needs and connect with family and peers
  • Daily living skills — routines like getting dressed, mealtimes, and brushing teeth
  • Social skills — taking turns, making friends, and navigating community outings
  • Behavior support — replacing challenging behaviors with skills that serve your child better

Everything is play-based, data-driven, and built around your child's unique strengths. Telehealth sessions keep your BCBA connected to your child's progress between in-home visits.
