Helping Hands Family, provides high-quality autism therapy to families across Manassas, Virginia. We’re focused on early intervention, so our autism services are best for children ages 0–6. Our goal is simple: to help your child grow, connect, and thrive through compassionate care.
Our autism therapy supports your child’s development in key areas like:
- Communication
- Socialization
- Focus
- Learning
- Behavior
Our approach meets each child where they are, using structured support, engaging sessions, and positive encouragement to build meaningful, lasting progress. Our therapy is personalized to help them succeed at their own pace through interest-based sessions.
We specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy—a research-based method recognized as one of the most effective interventions for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ABA therapy breaks learning into manageable steps and uses positive reinforcement to teach essential life skills. Through fun, play-based sessions. Our therapists help children make real progress in areas that matter most to them and their families.

How We Support Your Child Through Autism Therapy
Helping Hands Family is more than an autism therapy provider—we’re a committed partner in your child’s growth. Our ABA approach focuses on compassionate, evidence-based care that empowers children and their families.
Here’s how we help your child make meaningful progress:
- Therapy That Fits Your Child - Every child learns differently, so our ABA therapy plans are built to reflect their strengths, needs, motivations, and interests. From the very first session, we personalize each goal and activity to your child’s current abilities and future potential.
- Play-Guided Learning - Children stay engaged when they’re having fun, so our sessions are play-based. Whether it’s building with blocks, pretend play, or favorite games, we use your child's interests to teach skills that matter.
- Family-Focused Care - Families are part of the team, and we include you every step of the way! We provide ongoing updates, parent training, and practical tools to reinforce learning at home.
- Progress That Evolves - As your child develops, their therapy plan grows with them. We continually track progress and make adjustments so sessions stay aligned with your child’s evolving needs and goals.
Understanding ABA Therapy
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a leading therapy for autism, backed by decades of research. It focuses on how behavior is learned and reinforced. ABA therapy helps children build functional skills while reducing behaviors that may hold them back.
At Helping Hands Family, we take an individualized and hands-on approach to ABA therapy that’s ideal for early learners. After an initial assessment, your Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will develop a personalized plan focused on goals such as:
- Improving communication (verbal and nonverbal)
- Building social interaction and play skills
- Increasing independence in daily routines
- Reducing behaviors like tantrums or aggression
Each goal is taught step by step, using motivation, positive reinforcement, and repetition until it becomes a natural part of your child’s everyday life. Three key components to our ABA therapy approach in Manassas, VA are:
- Child-Led Learning - Therapy follows your child’s interests and natural motivation to keep sessions fun, engaging, and effective.
- Play-Based Approach - Play is a teaching tool to make learning feel natural while building real-life skills in communication, behavior, and daily routines.
- Positive Reinforcement - We celebrate your child’s progress by rewarding positive behaviors to help them build confidence and repeat success over time.
