What ABA therapy looks like in Strasburg
Strasburg in Arapahoe County is a town of about 3,249 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.
The nearest Sunbird team is in Aurora, about 21 miles away. Our Aurora team travels to homes in Strasburg, and video check-ins with your BCBA fill the days in between.
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 Strasburg
Strasburg is home to about 930 kids under 18 — about 130 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 30 children in Strasburg who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.
For the 130 youngest children in Strasburg, timing matters. Plain-English checklists: signs at 18 months, signs at age 3. No diagnosis yet? That's fine — we'll help you get one.
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 Strasburg families
About 88% of children under 6 in Strasburg 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.
About 93% of households in Strasburg 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 Strasburg
Strasburg 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.
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.
