What ABA therapy looks like in Peru

Peru in Chautauqua County is a very small community — about 165 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.

When you call from Peru, 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 young children in Peru

Peru is home to about 16 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.

In-home, daycare or telehealth ABA in Peru

About 84% of children under 6 across Chautauqua 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. (Peru is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

About 83% of households across Chautauqua 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 Peru

Peru is served by Chautauqua County school districts, including USD 286 Chautauqua Co Community (about 398 students across 2 schools) and USD 285 Cedar Vale (about 149 students across 2 schools). District lines don't always follow town lines, so check your address with the district if you're not sure.

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.

Paying for ABA therapy in Peru

Families in Peru pay for care in different ways. Census figures show that across Chautauqua County, about 41% of children are covered only by Medicaid or another public plan, and about 9.6% have no coverage at all — the rest mostly have insurance through a parent's job or a plan they bought.

Whatever card is in your wallet, the first step is the same: send us a photo and we check your ABA benefits directly with your plan — free. You get a plain-English answer about what's covered and what you'd owe, usually within a business day. Most Kansas families pay little or nothing once benefits are confirmed.
