Marion's Home for ABA Therapy That Actually Fits Your Life
Real support for your child, right here in Smyth County
Raising a child with autism comes with enough hard days already. Finding the right therapy shouldn't add to that weight. Total Care ABA brings trained, caring therapists straight to your door in Marion, so your family can start making real progress without long drives, long waitlists, or confusing paperwork standing in the way.
Whether your child needs help at home, at school, or somewhere in between, our team meets you where you are and builds a plan around what your family actually needs, not a one-size-fitsall program pulled off a shelf.
Marion, Virginia: Small Town, Big Heart
Marion sits along the Middle Fork of the Holston River in Smyth County, tucked between the Blue Ridge and the Iron Mountains. Folks here know their neighbors by name, and that kind of closeness makes a real difference for families raising a child with extra needs. The town centers around North Main Street, home to the historic Lincoln Theatre and the Smyth County Courthouse. Many families in Marion work in healthcare, education, or the local furniture and manufacturing plants that keep the town running day to day.
Kids here grow up close to nature, with Hungry Mother State Park just a few miles north offering hiking trails and a lake for weekend outings. Schools in the area include Marion Elementary, Marion Middle, and Marion Senior High, all part of Smyth County Public Schools. When a child in this community needs extra support to learn, communicate, or manage big emotions, ABA therapy can shape how they experience school, home, and everyday life in Marion for years to come.

Benefit Checks
Checking your coverage so you don't have to guess
Insurance paperwork can feel like reading a foreign language, especially when you're already
stretched thin caring for your child. Before therapy ever starts, our team reviews your plan line by line and tells you plainly what's covered and what isn't. No surprise bills, no confusing terms, no runaround. Marion families get a clear answer up front, so you can plan your budget and
your schedule with confidence instead of guesswork.

Initial Assessments
Getting to know your child before we build a plan
Every child learns differently, so we never start with a cookie-cutter form. A board-certified
behavior analyst spends real time observing your child, talking with you about daily struggles
and wins, and pulling all of that together into a plan built around your child's actual strengths.
This first step shapes everything that follows, which is why we take it seriously from day one.
Schedule an Assessment
Parent Training
Giving parents tools to keep progress going
Therapy works best when it doesn't stop the moment the therapist walks out the door. Our
parent training sessions teach you simple, practical strategies you can use during mealtime,
bedtime, homework, or a trip to the grocery store. You'll learn how to respond to tough moments
in ways that support your child's goals rather than working against them, turning everyday
routines into chances for growth.

Home Based ABA
Bringing therapy into your living room
Kids often learn best in the place where they feel safest. Our home-based ABA sessions happen right in your Marion home, so your child practices new skills in the exact space where they'll actually use them, whether that's asking for help at the dinner table or calming down in their own bedroom. This setup also spares families the stress of long drives to a clinic across the county.

Consultations
Bringing everyone to the table
Big progress happens when parents, teachers, and therapists all work from the same playbook
instead of pulling in different directions. Our consultations gather input from everyone involved in your child's daily life, then turn that information into a plan that actually holds up across home, school, and community settings. It keeps everyone on the same page, which makes a real difference over time.

School Support
Helping your child shine in the classroom
School can be tough for kids who process the world differently from their classmates. Our
school support team works directly with teachers and staff at Marion schools to make sure your
child gets consistent help during the school day, not just during therapy hours. That means fewer meltdowns in the hallway, better focus during lessons, and a smoother school year overall.

If your plan isn't on this list, call our office anyway. We check coverage case by case, and plans

assessments and ongoing sessions.
