What ABA therapy looks like in Horace
Horace in Greeley County is a very small community — about 77 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.
Horace is about 248 miles from our Wichita team — the far edge of where we work. We won't promise a schedule we can't keep: call us, tell us your town, and we'll give you a straight answer about in-home visits, telehealth, and what a realistic start looks like.
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 Horace
Census estimates count about 17 children under 18 in Horace, including about 0 under age 5. 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.
ABA isn't only for toddlers. For school-age kids in Horace, 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.
Home, daycare or telehealth: what fits Horace families
Connectivity is strong — about 92% of homes have broadband. Most families here use telehealth for quick BCBA check-ins and coaching between in-person sessions.
Schools and IEPs in Horace
Horace is served by Greeley County school districts, including USD 200 Greeley County Schools (about 243 students across 2 schools). District lines don't always follow town lines, so check your address with the district if you're not sure.
School and ABA work best as partners. If your child has an IEP or evaluation from the district, send it along with your intake — it helps your BCBA write goals that back up the school plan instead of competing with it.
