What ABA therapy looks like across Neosho County
Neosho County has about 15,715 people across 571 square miles — roughly 28 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 Erie.
Neosho County 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 kids and families in Neosho County
Census estimates count about 3,800 children under 18 across Neosho County, including about 950 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 122 children across Neosho 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.
ABA isn't only for toddlers. For school-age kids across Neosho County, 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 Neosho County
About 62% of children under 6 across Neosho 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.
About 82% of households across Neosho 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.

Neosho County has 2 public school districts. The largest are USD 413 Chanute Public Schools (about 1,800 students across 3 schools) and USD 101 Erie-Galesburg (about 443 students across 3 schools).
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.
