What ABA therapy looks like in Larkspur

Larkspur in Douglas County is a very small community — about 171 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.

Our Sunbird ABA team in the Larkspur 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.

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 young children in Larkspur

Census estimates count about 30 children under 18 in Larkspur, including about 3 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. In a community this size, that may mean just one or two families — which is exactly why parents here can feel alone. You are not.

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 Larkspur, 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 Larkspur

About 70% of children under 6 across Douglas County 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. (Larkspur is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

Connectivity is strong — about 98% of homes have broadband. Most families here use telehealth for quick BCBA check-ins and coaching between in-person sessions.

ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Larkspur

Larkspur is served by Douglas County school districts, including Douglas County School District No. Re 1 (about 62,000 students across 88 schools). District lines don't always follow town lines, so check your address with the district if you're not sure.

If your child has an IEP (or an IFSP for little ones), share it with your BCBA. When home goals and school goals line up, kids make progress faster and get less mixed messaging. Bring the latest evaluation reports to your first meeting, too — they save time and repeat testing.
