What ABA therapy looks like in Boone

Boone in Pueblo County is a very small community — about 247 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 Boone, 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.

Here's what ABA usually looks like in practice: your BCBA observes your child at home and writes a plan, an ABA therapist runs the day-to-day sessions, and you get coaching so progress carries over between visits. How many hours a week? That depends on your child — our guide to how many hours of ABA explains how that gets decided.

Autism therapy for young children in Boone

Boone is home to about 15 kids under 18 — about 9 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.

Most parents notice something before anyone else does. If you're wondering about your little one, start with the M-CHAT screening explained, or read the signs at age 2. And if you already have a gut feeling, here's what to do next.

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 Boone

About 65% of children under 6 across Pueblo 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. (Boone is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

About 87% of households across Pueblo 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.

ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Boone

Boone is served by Pueblo County school districts, including Pueblo School District No. 60 (about 15,000 students across 35 schools) and Pueblo County School District 70 (about 11,000 students across 27 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.
