What ABA therapy looks like in Stonegate

Stonegate in Douglas County is a town of about 9,164 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.

Stonegate is about 13 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.

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 and young children in Stonegate

Census estimates count about 2,600 children under 18 in Stonegate, including about 530 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 85 children in Stonegate 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 Stonegate, 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 Stonegate families

About 67% of children under 6 in Stonegate 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 99% of homes have broadband. Most families here use telehealth for quick BCBA check-ins and coaching between in-person sessions.

Schools and IEPs in Stonegate

Stonegate 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.
