What ABA therapy looks like in Kersey

Kersey in Weld County is a small community of about 1,318 people. 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.

Kersey 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.

ABA here works the same way it does everywhere we serve: a BCBA-led plan written for your child, one-on-one sessions with an ABA therapist, and regular coaching for you. New to all of this? Start with what ABA therapy actually is, then what to expect at the first session.

Autism therapy for young children in Kersey

Census estimates count about 350 children under 18 in Kersey, including about 70 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 11 children in Kersey who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

For the 70 youngest children in Kersey, 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 Kersey, 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 Kersey

About 65% of children under 6 across Weld 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. (Kersey is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

Only about 74% of households in Kersey have broadband internet, so we don't assume video works for you. Where it does, telehealth adds BCBA time between visits; where it doesn't, in-home visits carry the plan. We'll ask about your connection up front.

ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Kersey

Most public-school students in Kersey attend Weld County School District No. Re-7 (about 1,100 students across 3 schools).

Already working with your school team? Good — bring that IEP or evaluation to us. Your BCBA can shape home goals that support what's happening at school, so your child hears the same expectations in both places.
