What ABA therapy looks like in Lewis

Lewis in Edwards County is a very small community — about 477 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.

Our team works with families in Lewis 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.

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 Lewis

Lewis is home to about 140 kids under 18 — about 30 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 5 children in Lewis who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

For the 30 youngest children in Lewis, 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.

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 Lewis

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

Only about 63% of households in Lewis 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 Lewis

Most public-school students in Lewis attend USD 502 Lewis (about 115 students across 1 school).

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.
