Westminster Public Schools at a glance

Westminster Public Schools serves about 8,000 students across 17 schools and 3 ZIP codes, with offices in Westminster — part of Adams County. Federal data lists about 15 school psychologists and about 11 school counselors on staff.

At the CDC's 1-in-31 estimate, roughly 258 Westminster Public Schools students may be autistic — so if you're navigating an IEP, an evaluation or a new diagnosis here, you are far from alone.

15 Westminster Public Schools schools offer preschool, which matters for families of 3- and 4-year-olds: the district can evaluate children from age 3 for special-education services, before kindergarten.

How ABA works alongside a Westminster Public Schools IEP

Think of the IEP as the school-day plan and ABA as the rest-of-the-day plan. Sunbird's sessions happen at home and at daycare, not in Westminster Public Schools classrooms — but the goals can and should line up.

Ask for an evaluation in writing. If you think your child needs special-education support, put the request to your school (or the district's special-education office) in writing and keep a copy.
Share what you have. Outside evaluations and an autism diagnosis help, though the school still runs its own eligibility evaluation.
Bring the IEP to your BCBA. With your consent, your Sunbird BCBA reads the IEP goals so home goals reinforce them — the same words, the same expectations.
Review together. IEPs are reviewed at least yearly. Bring progress notes from home; they help the team see the whole child.

Westminster Public Schools: questions parents ask

Does Sunbird provide ABA inside Westminster Public Schools schools?

No — our sessions happen at home and at daycare. With your consent, your BCBA can align home goals with your child's IEP so the two plans support each other.

How do I get my child evaluated by Westminster Public Schools?

Put a request for a special-education evaluation in writing to your child's school or the district's special-education office. Children can be evaluated from age 3.

Is a school evaluation the same as an autism diagnosis?

No. A school evaluation decides eligibility for special-education services; a medical diagnosis comes from a doctor or psychologist and is usually what insurance needs for ABA. Many families pursue both.

Does insurance cover ABA for Westminster Public Schools families?

It depends on your plan, so we check it for free. Send a photo of your insurance card and we'll tell you what's covered, usually within a business day.
