What ABA therapy looks like in Severance
Severance in Weld County is a town of about 9,302 people. Families here often drive a long way for pediatric specialists. In-home ABA flips that: the therapist does the driving, and sessions happen where your child is most comfortable.
Our team works with families in Severance the same way we do everywhere: sessions at your home or your child's daycare, a BCBA who knows your child, and telehealth check-ins so nobody waits a week for an answer.
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 young children in Severance
Severance is home to about 2,800 kids under 18 — about 990 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 90 children in Severance 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.
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 Severance
About 64% of children under 6 in Severance 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.
About 98% of households in Severance have broadband, so telehealth is easy here: BCBA check-ins and parent coaching by video, on top of in-person sessions — never as a substitute for them.
ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Severance
Severance is served by Weld County school districts, including Greeley-Evans School District 6 (about 22,000 students across 35 schools), Weld County Reorganized School District No. Re-4 (about 8,200 students across 12 schools), and Weld County School District No. Re-5J (about 3,900 students across 7 schools). District lines don't always follow town lines, so check your address with the district if you're not sure.
If your child has an IEP (or an IFSP for little ones), share it with your BCBA. When home goals and school goals line up, kids make progress faster and get less mixed messaging. Bring the latest evaluation reports to your first meeting, too — they save time and repeat testing.
