What ABA therapy looks like in Marble

Marble in Gunnison County is a very small community — about 236 people. No town is too small for in-home ABA. We plan visits and telehealth around where you actually live, and we tell you plainly what that looks like for your address.

Our team works with families in Marble the same way we do everywhere: sessions at your home or your child's daycare, a BCBA who knows your child, and telehealth check-ins 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 therapy for young children in Marble

Marble is home to about 50 kids under 18 — about 3 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. In a community this size, that may mean just one or two families — which is exactly why parents here can feel alone. You are not.

For the 3 youngest children in Marble, 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 Marble

About 82% of children under 6 across Gunnison 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. (Marble is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

About 93% of households across Gunnison County 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.

ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Marble

Marble is served by Gunnison County school districts, including Gunnison Watershed School District Re1J (about 2,100 students across 7 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.
