What ABA therapy looks like in Redvale
Redvale in Montrose County is a very small community — about 405 people. It is an unincorporated community — there is no city hall, but neighbors know it by name, and so do we. 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.
We'll be upfront: Redvale is about 203 miles from Colorado Springs, our nearest team. Families this far out usually start with telehealth parent coaching and planned in-home visits. Call and we'll tell you honestly what we can do for your address.
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 and young children in Redvale
Redvale is home to about 90 kids under 18 — about 30 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 3 children in Redvale who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.
For the 30 youngest children in Redvale, 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.
Home, daycare or telehealth: what fits Redvale families
About 66% of children under 6 across Montrose 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. (Redvale is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)
About 85% of households across Montrose 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 Redvale
Redvale is served by Montrose County school districts, including Montrose County School District Re-1J (about 6,000 students across 15 schools) and West End School District No. Re-2 (about 260 students across 4 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.
