What ABA therapy looks like across Clear Creek County
Clear Creek County has about 9,358 people across 395 square miles — roughly 24 people per square mile, mostly in its towns with farmland and open country in between. Families here are used to driving for specialists; with in-home ABA, the drive is ours. The county seat is Georgetown.
Clear Creek County families don't have to drive to a clinic. Our ABA team comes to you — at home or at daycare — with BCBA coaching by video in between visits.
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 kids and families in Clear Creek County
Census estimates count about 1,300 children under 18 across Clear Creek County, including about 260 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 43 children across Clear Creek County 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.
