What ABA therapy looks like in Paoli
Paoli in Phillips County is a very small community — about 65 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.
We'll be upfront: Paoli is about 134 miles from Aurora, 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 Paoli
Paoli is home to about 13 kids under 18 — about 7 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. 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.
Earlier is easier. If your toddler isn't pointing, answering to their name, or using words the way other kids their age do, it is worth a look now rather than later. Our guides walk through signs of autism at 18 months, at age 2 and at age 3, plus the M-CHAT screening many pediatricians use.
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 Paoli families
About 74% of children under 6 across Phillips 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. (Paoli is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)
About 82% of households across Phillips 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 Paoli
Paoli is served by Phillips County school districts, including Holyoke School District No. Re-1J (about 552 students across 3 schools) and Haxtun School District No. Re-2J (about 334 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.
