What ABA therapy looks like in Rye
Rye in Pueblo County is a very small community — about 145 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.
Rye 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.
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 young children in Rye
Census estimates count about 40 children under 18 in Rye, including about 30 under age 5. 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.
For the 30 youngest children in Rye, 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 Rye, 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 Rye
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. (Rye 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 Rye
Rye 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.
School and ABA work best as partners. If your child has an IEP or evaluation from the district, send it along with your intake — it helps your BCBA write goals that back up the school plan instead of competing with it.

Paying for ABA therapy in Rye
Families in Rye pay for care in different ways. Census figures show that across Pueblo County, about 47% of children are covered only by Medicaid or another public plan, and about 2.4% have no coverage at all — the rest mostly have insurance through a parent's job or a plan they bought.
Coverage depends on your plan, not your ZIP code, so we don't guess. Snap a photo of your insurance card, and we'll verify your ABA benefits with the plan for free and call you back with a straight answer — usually within a business day.
