What ABA therapy looks like across Teller County

Teller County has about 24,774 people across 557 square miles — roughly 44 people per square mile, mostly in its towns with farmland and open country in between. Families here are used to driving for specialists; with in-home ABA, the drive is ours. The county seat is Cripple Creek.

Our Sunbird ABA team in the Teller County area is here serving you. Your child's ABA therapist comes to your home or daycare, and your BCBA stays in touch by video between visits — so help is here, not a long drive away.

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 kids and families in Teller County

Census estimates count about 4,000 children under 18 across Teller County, including about 800 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 128 children across Teller County who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

For the 800 youngest children across Teller 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.

ABA isn't only for toddlers. For school-age kids across Teller County, 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 Teller County

About 58% of children under 6 across Teller County have every parent in the workforce, so families here are split: some want sessions during daycare, others at home with a parent close by. We do both — in-home ABA and daycare-based support — and many families mix them. Our guide to home vs. daycare sessions explains the trade-offs.

Connectivity is strong — about 92% of homes have broadband. Most families here use telehealth for quick BCBA check-ins and coaching between in-person sessions.

ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Teller County

Teller County has 2 public school districts. The largest are Woodland Park School District No. Re-2 (about 2,000 students across 6 schools) and Cripple Creek-Victor School District No. Re-1 (about 313 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.

Teller County borders El Paso County, Jefferson County, Douglas County, Fremont County, and Park County. Families near a county line are often closer to a town on the other side — that's fine; we serve both.
