What ABA therapy looks like in Inverness
Inverness in Arapahoe County is a town of about 3,088 people. It is an unincorporated community — there is no city hall, but neighbors know it by name, and so do we. Families here often drive a long way for pediatric specialists. In-home ABA flips that: the therapist does the driving, and sessions happen where your child is most comfortable.
Our Aurora team is close by — Inverness sits about 12 miles from Aurora. That puts Inverness well inside our regular in-home driving range.
Here's what ABA usually looks like in practice: your BCBA observes your child at home and writes a plan, an ABA therapist runs the day-to-day sessions, and you get coaching so progress carries over between visits. How many hours a week? That depends on your child — our guide to how many hours of ABA explains how that gets decided.
Autism and young children in Inverness
Inverness is home to about 360 kids under 18 — about 100 of them younger than 5 — according to the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimates. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 11 children in Inverness who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.
Earlier is easier. If your toddler isn't pointing, answering to their name, or using words the way other kids their age do, it is worth a look now rather than later. Our guides walk through signs of autism at 18 months, at age 2 and at age 3, plus the M-CHAT screening many pediatricians use.
School-age kids benefit too — ABA can target the things that make the school day and evenings hard: transitions, communication, self-care, and handling frustration. Read how ABA and speech therapy work together, and our honest take on whether ABA is harmful.
Home, daycare or telehealth: what fits Inverness families
About 67% of children under 6 across Arapahoe County live in homes where every parent works. For a lot of families here, the hours that matter are daycare hours — so we offer daycare-based ABA support, where your child's ABA therapist works alongside the daycare routine, plus in-home sessions for evenings and the skills that belong at home. (Inverness is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)
About 96% of households in Inverness have broadband, so telehealth is easy here: BCBA check-ins and parent coaching by video, on top of in-person sessions — never as a substitute for them.
Schools and IEPs in Inverness
Inverness is served by Arapahoe County school districts, including Cherry Creek School District No. 5 in the county of Arapah (about 52,000 students across 70 schools), Aurora Joint District No. 28 of the counties of Adams and A (about 38,000 students across 61 schools), and Littleton School District No. 6 in the county of Arapahoe (about 13,000 students across 22 schools). District lines don't always follow town lines, so check your address with the district if you're not sure.
Already working with your school team? Good — bring that IEP or evaluation to us. Your BCBA can shape home goals that support what's happening at school, so your child hears the same expectations in both places.
