What ABA therapy looks like in Matfield Green

Matfield Green in Chase County is a very small community — about 60 people. No town is too small for in-home ABA. We plan visits and telehealth around where you actually live, and we tell you plainly what that looks like for your address.

Matfield Green sits about 54 miles from Wichita, where our nearest team is based. We still come to you — but at this distance, telehealth carries more of the week, and we'll be straight with you about scheduling before you commit to anything.

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 and young children in Matfield Green

Matfield Green is home to about 15 kids under 18 — about 0 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. In a community this size, that may mean just one or two families — which is exactly why parents here can feel alone. You are not.

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.

Home, daycare or telehealth: what fits Matfield Green families

About 79% of children under 6 across Chase 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. (Matfield Green is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

About 80% of households across Chase 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.

Schools and IEPs in Matfield Green

Matfield Green is served by Chase County school districts, including USD 284 Chase County (about 387 students across 2 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.
