What ABA therapy looks like in Antonito

Antonito in Conejos County is a small community of about 681 people. In a town this size, everybody knows everybody — and families can feel like they are the only ones dealing with autism. You are not, and you don't need to move or drive hours for help.

Our Sunbird ABA team in the Antonito 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.

A typical plan starts with a BCBA assessment at home, then regular one-on-one sessions with an ABA therapist — a trained behavior technician — working from goals your BCBA wrote for your child. You are part of it, too: parent training is built in, because the skills have to work at dinner time, not just during a session. Curious who does what? See who is on your child's team.

Autism therapy for young children in Antonito

Census estimates count about 140 children under 18 in Antonito, including about 30 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 4 children in Antonito who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

For the 30 youngest children in Antonito, 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.

ABA isn't only for toddlers. For school-age kids in Antonito, 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 Antonito

About 48% of children under 6 across Conejos County have every parent in the workforce, so families here are split: some want sessions during daycare, others at home with a parent close by. We do both — in-home ABA and daycare-based support — and many families mix them. Our guide to home vs. daycare sessions explains the trade-offs. (Antonito is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

Only about 62% of households in Antonito have broadband internet, so we don't assume video works for you. Where it does, telehealth adds BCBA time between visits; where it doesn't, in-home visits carry the plan. We'll ask about your connection up front.

ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Antonito

Most public-school students in Antonito attend South Conejos School District No. Re10 (about 174 students across 3 schools).

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.
