What ABA therapy looks like in Silverton
Silverton in San Juan County is a small community of about 613 people. It is also the county seat. In a town this size, everybody knows everybody — and families can feel like they are the only ones dealing with autism. You are not, and you don't need to move or drive hours for help.
Silverton 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 Silverton
Census estimates count about 60 children under 18 in Silverton, including about 13 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 2 children in Silverton who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.
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.
ABA isn't only for toddlers. For school-age kids in Silverton, 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 Silverton

ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Silverton
Most public-school students in Silverton attend Silverton School District No. 1 (about 87 students across 3 schools).
