What ABA therapy looks like across Sedgwick County
Sedgwick County is frontier country — about 2,346 people across 548 square miles, fewer than 5 people per square mile. Families here know better than anyone how far the nearest specialist can be. We don't pretend the map is smaller than it is; we plan around it with in-home visits and telehealth. The county seat is Julesburg.
When you call from Sedgwick County, 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.
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 kids and families in Sedgwick County
Sedgwick County is home to about 510 kids under 18 — about 190 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. Applied here, that is roughly 17 children across Sedgwick County who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.
For the 190 youngest children across Sedgwick County, 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.
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 Sedgwick County
About 82% of children under 6 across Sedgwick 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.
About 87% of households across Sedgwick 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 Sedgwick County
Sedgwick County has 2 public school districts. The largest are Julesburg School District No. Re1 (about 607 students across 3 schools) and Revere School District (about 113 students across 2 schools).
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.
Communities across Sedgwick County
The biggest communities in Sedgwick County are Julesburg (1,193 people), Ovid (378 people), and Sedgwick (154 people). Together they hold about 78% of the county's children — the rest live in smaller towns and out in the county, where in-home visits matter most.
Sedgwick County borders Logan County, Phillips County, Weld County, Morgan County, and Yuma County. Families near a county line are often closer to a town on the other side — that's fine; we serve both.
