What ABA therapy looks like in Ordway

Ordway in Crowley County is a small community of about 1,718 people. It is also the county seat. 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.

Ordway 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 Ordway

Census estimates count about 400 children under 18 in Ordway, including about 50 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 13 children in Ordway who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

For the 50 youngest children in Ordway, 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 Ordway, 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 Ordway

About 87% of households in Ordway 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 Ordway

Most public-school students in Ordway attend Crowley County School District No. Re-1-J (about 379 students across 2 schools).

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.
