What ABA therapy looks like in Winter Park

Winter Park in Grand County is a small community of about 750 people. 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.

When you call from Winter Park, you're matched with our team that serves your area. They come to your home or daycare, and your BCBA checks in by video between sessions.

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 Winter Park

Winter Park is home to about 60 kids under 18 — about 7 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 2 children in Winter Park who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

For the 7 youngest children in Winter 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.

In-home, daycare or telehealth ABA in Winter Park

About 71% of children under 6 across Grand 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. (Winter Park is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

About 100% of households in Winter 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.

Winter Park is served by Grand County school districts, including East Grand School District No. 2 (about 1,300 students across 4 schools) and West Grand School District No. 1 (about 391 students across 2 schools).

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.
