What ABA therapy looks like in Pomona

Pomona in Franklin County is a small community of about 1,210 people. In a town this size, everybody knows everybody — and families can feel like they are the only ones dealing with autism. You are not, and you don't need to move or drive hours for help.

Pomona families don't have to drive to a clinic. Our ABA team comes to you — at home or at daycare — with BCBA coaching by video in between visits.

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 Pomona

Census estimates count about 430 children under 18 in Pomona, including about 80 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 14 children in Pomona who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

For the 80 youngest children in Pomona, 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.

ABA isn't only for toddlers. For school-age kids in Pomona, goals often center on communication, managing big feelings, daily routines and getting along with friends. Wondering how ABA fits with other therapies? See ABA vs. speech therapy.

In-home, daycare or telehealth ABA in Pomona

About 66% of children under 6 across Franklin 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. (Pomona is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

About 89% of households in Pomona 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 Pomona

Most public-school students in Pomona attend USD 287 West Franklin (about 618 students across 4 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.
