What ABA therapy looks like in Fairway
Fairway in Johnson County is a town of about 4,177 people. Families here often drive a long way for pediatric specialists. In-home ABA flips that: the therapist does the driving, and sessions happen where your child is most comfortable.
When you call from Fairway, 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.
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 therapy for young children in Fairway
Fairway is home to about 1,000 kids under 18 — about 290 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 33 children in Fairway who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.
Most parents notice something before anyone else does. If you're wondering about your little one, start with the M-CHAT screening explained, or read the signs at age 2. And if you already have a gut feeling, here's what to do next.
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 Fairway
About 74% of children under 6 in Fairway 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 99% of households in Fairway have broadband, so telehealth is easy here: BCBA check-ins and parent coaching by video, on top of in-person sessions — never as a substitute for them.
ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Fairway
Fairway is served by Johnson County school districts, including USD 233 Olathe (about 29,000 students across 51 schools), USD 512 Shawnee Mission Public Schools (about 27,000 students across 45 schools), and USD 229 Blue Valley (about 22,000 students across 36 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.
