Autism therapy for young children in Sylvan Grove
Sylvan Grove is home to about 90 kids under 18 — about 10 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 3 children in Sylvan Grove who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

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 Sylvan Grove
About 80% of children under 6 across Lincoln 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. (Sylvan Grove is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)
About 78% of households across Lincoln 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.
