What ABA therapy looks like in Haswell
Haswell in Kiowa County is a very small community — about 50 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.
Honest map talk: Haswell is about 91 miles from our Colorado Springs team. That is a real drive, so we plan in-home visits in blocks and lean on telehealth for parent coaching and BCBA check-ins. We'll tell you exactly what that looks like for your address on the first call.
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 Haswell
Census estimates count about 12 children under 18 in Haswell, including about 0 under age 5. 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.
ABA isn't only for toddlers. For school-age kids in Haswell, 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 Haswell families
About 85% of households across Kiowa County 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 Haswell
Haswell is served by Kiowa County school districts, including Kiowa County School District No. Re-1 (about 211 students across 3 schools) and Kiowa County School District No. Re-2 (about 43 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.
