What ABA therapy looks like in Arriba
Arriba in Lincoln County is a very small community — about 279 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.
When you call from Arriba, 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.
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 Arriba
Arriba is home to about 70 kids under 18 — about 11 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 Arriba who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.
For the 11 youngest children in Arriba, 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 Arriba
About 79% of children under 6 across Lincoln 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. (Arriba is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)
Only about 77% of households across Lincoln County have broadband internet, so we don't assume video works for you. Where it does, telehealth adds BCBA time between visits; where it doesn't, in-home visits carry the plan. We'll ask about your connection up front.
ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Arriba
Arriba is served by Lincoln County school districts, including Limon School District No. Re 4J (about 457 students across 2 schools), Genoa-Hugo School District No. C-113 (about 224 students across 1 school), and Karval School District No. Re 23 (about 40 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.
