What ABA therapy looks like in Westmoreland

Westmoreland in Pottawatomie County is a small community of about 636 people. It is also the county seat. In a town this size, everybody knows everybody — and families can feel like they are the only ones dealing with autism. You are not, and you don't need to move or drive hours for help.

Westmoreland 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 Westmoreland

Census estimates count about 150 children under 18 in Westmoreland, including about 50 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 5 children in Westmoreland 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 in Westmoreland, 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 Westmoreland

About 66% of children under 6 across Pottawatomie 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. (Westmoreland is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

Connectivity is strong — about 90% of homes have broadband. Most families here use telehealth for quick BCBA check-ins and coaching between in-person sessions.

ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Westmoreland

Westmoreland is served by Pottawatomie County school districts, including USD 320 Wamego (about 1,600 students across 5 schools), USD 323 Rock Creek (about 1,400 students across 4 schools), and USD 321 Kaw Valley (about 1,100 students across 4 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.
