What ABA therapy looks like in Romeo

Romeo in Conejos County is a very small community — about 368 people. No town is too small for in-home ABA. We plan visits and telehealth around where you actually live, and we tell you plainly what that looks like for your address.

Romeo 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.

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 therapy for young children in Romeo

Census estimates count about 70 children under 18 in Romeo, including about 19 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 2 children in Romeo who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

Most parents notice something before anyone else does. If you're wondering about your little one, start with the M-CHAT screening explained, or read the signs at age 2. And if you already have a gut feeling, here's what to do next.

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

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. (Romeo is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

About 87% of households in Romeo have broadband — most, but not all. If video works at your house, telehealth adds BCBA time between visits. If it doesn't, tell us; we'll plan around your connection instead of the other way around.

ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Romeo

Romeo is served by Conejos County school districts, including North Conejos School District No. Re1J (about 988 students across 5 schools), Sanford School District No. 6 (about 384 students across 2 schools), and South Conejos School District No. Re10 (about 174 students across 3 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.
