What ABA therapy looks like across Park County

Park County is rural: about 17,739 people across 2,194 square miles, or roughly 8 people per square mile. Specialty care for kids has traditionally meant long drives out of the county. Our model is built the other way around — therapy comes to your home, and your BCBA stays in touch by video between visits. The county seat is Fairplay.

Our Sunbird ABA team in the Park County area is here serving you. Your child's ABA therapist comes to your home or daycare, and your BCBA stays in touch by video between visits — so help is here, not a long drive away.

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 kids and families in Park County

Census estimates count about 2,600 children under 18 across Park County, including about 560 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 84 children across Park County who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

For the 560 youngest children across Park County, 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 across Park County, 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 Park County

About 46% of children under 6 across Park County 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.

Connectivity is strong — about 91% of homes have broadband. Most families here use telehealth for quick BCBA check-ins and coaching between in-person sessions.

ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Park County

Park County has 2 public school districts. The largest are Platte Canyon School District No. 1 (about 797 students across 3 schools) and Park County School District No. Re-2 (about 595 students across 5 schools).

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.

The biggest communities in Park County are Fairplay (851 people) and Alma (242 people). Together they hold about 6% of the county's children — the rest live in smaller towns and out in the county, where in-home visits matter most.

Park County borders Jefferson County, Fremont County, Summit County, Teller County, Chaffee County, Clear Creek County, and Lake County. Families near a county line are often closer to a town on the other side — that's fine; we serve both.
