What ABA therapy looks like in Lehigh
Lehigh in Marion County is a very small community — about 189 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.
Lehigh 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.
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 Lehigh
Census estimates count about 50 children under 18 in Lehigh, including about 7 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 2 children in Lehigh who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.
For the 7 youngest children in Lehigh, 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 Lehigh, 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 Lehigh
About 56% of children under 6 across Marion County have every parent in the workforce, so families here are split: some want sessions during daycare, others at home with a parent close by. We do both — in-home ABA and daycare-based support — and many families mix them. Our guide to home vs. daycare sessions explains the trade-offs. (Lehigh is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)
About 83% of households across Marion 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 Lehigh
Lehigh is served by Marion County school districts, including USD 410 Durham-Hillsboro-Lehigh (about 640 students across 2 schools), USD 397 Centre (about 536 students across 2 schools), and USD 408 Marion-Florence (about 513 students across 3 schools). District lines don't always follow town lines, so check your address with the district if you're not sure.
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.

Paying for ABA therapy in Lehigh
Families in Lehigh pay for care in different ways. Census figures show that across Marion County, about 28% of children are covered only by Medicaid or another public plan, and about 5.9% have no coverage at all — the rest mostly have insurance through a parent's job or a plan they bought.
Coverage depends on your plan, not your ZIP code, so we don't guess. Snap a photo of your insurance card, and we'll verify your ABA benefits with the plan for free and call you back with a straight answer — usually within a business day.
