What ABA therapy looks like across Harvey County
Harvey County has about 33,823 people across 540 square miles — roughly 63 people per square mile, mostly in its towns with farmland and open country in between. Families here are used to driving for specialists; with in-home ABA, the drive is ours. The county seat is Newton.
Our team works with families across Harvey County 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.
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 Harvey County
Harvey County is home to about 8,100 kids under 18 — about 1,900 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 260 children across Harvey 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 Harvey County
About 80% of children under 6 across Harvey 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.
About 84% of households across Harvey 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 Harvey County
Harvey County has 5 public school districts. The largest are USD 373 Newton (about 3,200 students across 9 schools), USD 460 Hesston (about 870 students across 3 schools), USD 440 Halstead (about 833 students across 3 schools), USD 439 Sedgwick Public Schools (about 507 students across 2 schools), and USD 369 Burrton (about 163 students across 2 schools).
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.
