What ABA therapy looks like in Richfield

Richfield in Morton County is a very small community — about 19 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.

Richfield is about 245 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.

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.

Home, daycare or telehealth: what fits Richfield families

About 88% of children under 6 across Morton 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. (Richfield is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

About 84% of households across Morton 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.

Schools and IEPs in Richfield

Richfield is served by Morton County school districts, including USD 218 Elkhart (about 1,700 students across 5 schools) and USD 217 Rolla (about 97 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.

Paying for ABA therapy in Richfield
