What ABA therapy looks like in Sheridan

Sheridan in Arapahoe County is a town of about 6,031 people. 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 Sunbird ABA team in the Sheridan area is here serving you. Your child's ABA therapist comes to your home or daycare, and your BCBA stays in touch by video between visits — so help is here, not a long drive away.

ABA here works the same way it does everywhere we serve: a BCBA-led plan written for your child, one-on-one sessions with an ABA therapist, and regular coaching for you. New to all of this? Start with what ABA therapy actually is, then what to expect at the first session.

Autism therapy for young children in Sheridan

Census estimates count about 1,500 children under 18 in Sheridan, including about 290 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 47 children in Sheridan 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.

ABA isn't only for toddlers. For school-age kids in Sheridan, goals often center on communication, managing big feelings, daily routines and getting along with friends. Wondering how ABA fits with other therapies? See ABA vs. speech therapy.

In-home, daycare or telehealth ABA in Sheridan

About 83% of children under 6 in Sheridan 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.

Connectivity is strong — about 91% of homes have broadband. Most families here use telehealth for quick BCBA check-ins and coaching between in-person sessions.

ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Sheridan

Sheridan is served by Arapahoe County school districts, including Cherry Creek School District (about 52,000 students across 70 schools), Aurora Public Schools (about 38,000 students across 61 schools), and Littleton School District No. 6 (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.

School and ABA work best as partners. If your child has an IEP or evaluation from the district, send it along with your intake — it helps your BCBA write goals that back up the school plan instead of competing with it.
