What ABA therapy looks like in Meridian Village

Meridian Village in Douglas County is a town of about 2,768 people. It is an unincorporated community — there is no city hall, but neighbors know it by name, and so do we. Families here often drive a long way for pediatric specialists. In-home ABA flips that: the therapist does the driving, and sessions happen where your child is most comfortable.

Meridian Village is about 14 miles from the heart of Aurora, so families here are served by our Aurora team — close enough that in-home sessions are routine, not a special trip.

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 and young children in Meridian Village

Census estimates count about 790 children under 18 in Meridian Village, including about 130 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 25 children in Meridian Village 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 Meridian Village, 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.

Home, daycare or telehealth: what fits Meridian Village families

About 93% of children under 6 in Meridian Village 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.

Connectivity is strong — about 100% of homes have broadband. Most families here use telehealth for quick BCBA check-ins and coaching between in-person sessions.

Schools and IEPs in Meridian Village

Meridian Village 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.
