What ABA therapy looks like in Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park in Fremont County is a town of about 4,315 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.
Lincoln Park is about 39 miles from Colorado Springs, and our Colorado Springs team serves families here with in-home visits. Telehealth adds BCBA time between visits so nobody waits a week for an answer.
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 Lincoln Park
Census estimates count about 600 children under 18 in Lincoln Park, including about 150 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 19 children in Lincoln Park who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.
For the 150 youngest children in Lincoln 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.
ABA isn't only for toddlers. For school-age kids in Lincoln Park, 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 Lincoln Park families
Lincoln Park has more young children with a parent at home during the day than most places — only about 20% of kids under 6 have every parent working. That makes in-home ABA a natural fit, and it means parent training can happen right alongside your child's sessions.
About 79% of households in Lincoln Park 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.
Schools and IEPs in Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park is served by Fremont County school districts, including Fremont Re-1 (about 3,300 students across 8 schools), Fremont Re-2 (about 1,400 students across 3 schools), and Fremont Re-3 (about 190 students across 2 schools). District lines don't always follow town lines, so check your address with the district if you're not sure.
Already working with your school team? Good — bring that IEP or evaluation to us. Your BCBA can shape home goals that support what's happening at school, so your child hears the same expectations in both places.
