What ABA therapy looks like in Craig

Craig in Moffat County is a town of about 9,022 people. It is also the county seat. 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.

Craig families don't have to drive to a clinic. Our ABA team comes to you — at home or at daycare — with BCBA coaching by video in between visits.

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 Craig

Census estimates count about 2,200 children under 18 in Craig, including about 570 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 69 children in Craig who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

For the 570 youngest children in Craig, 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 Craig, 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.

In-home, daycare or telehealth ABA in Craig

About 63% of children under 6 in Craig have every parent in the workforce, so families here are split: some want sessions during daycare, others at home with a parent close by. We do both — in-home ABA and daycare-based support — and many families mix them. Our guide to home vs. daycare sessions explains the trade-offs.

About 88% of households in Craig 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.

ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Craig

Most public-school students in Craig attend Moffat County School District RE: No. 1 (about 2,100 students across 7 schools).

If your child has an IEP (or an IFSP for little ones), share it with your BCBA. When home goals and school goals line up, kids make progress faster and get less mixed messaging. Bring the latest evaluation reports to your first meeting, too — they save time and repeat testing.
