What ABA therapy looks like in Perry Park
Perry Park in Douglas County is a small community of about 1,801 people. It is an unincorporated community — there is no city hall, but neighbors know it by name, and so do we. 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.
The nearest Sunbird team is in Colorado Springs, about 29 miles away. Our Colorado Springs team travels to homes in Perry Park, and video check-ins with your BCBA fill the days in between.
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 and young children in Perry Park
Perry Park is home to about 330 kids under 18 — about 120 of them younger than 5 — according to the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimates. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 10 children in Perry Park who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.
For the 120 youngest children in Perry Park, 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.
School-age kids benefit too — ABA can target the things that make the school day and evenings hard: transitions, communication, self-care, and handling frustration. Read how ABA and speech therapy work together, and our honest take on whether ABA is harmful.
Home, daycare or telehealth: what fits Perry Park families
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. (Perry Park is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)
About 100% of households in Perry Park have broadband, so telehealth is easy here: BCBA check-ins and parent coaching by video, on top of in-person sessions — never as a substitute for them.
Schools and IEPs in Perry Park
Perry Park 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.
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.
