What ABA therapy looks like across Clark County
Clark County is frontier country — about 1,987 people across 975 square miles, fewer than 3 people per square mile. Families here know better than anyone how far the nearest specialist can be. We don't pretend the map is smaller than it is; we plan around it with in-home visits and telehealth. The county seat is Ashland.
When you call from Clark County, 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.
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 Clark County
Clark County is home to about 490 kids under 18 — about 130 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 16 children across Clark County who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.
Earlier is easier. If your toddler isn't pointing, answering to their name, or using words the way other kids their age do, it is worth a look now rather than later. Our guides walk through signs of autism at 18 months, at age 2 and at age 3, plus the M-CHAT screening many pediatricians use.
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 Clark County
About 86% of households across Clark 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 Clark County
Clark County has 2 public school districts. The largest are USD 219 Minneola (about 258 students across 2 schools) and USD 220 Ashland (about 191 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.
