What ABA therapy looks like in Byers
Byers in Pratt County is a very small community — about 10 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.
Byers sits about 83 miles from Wichita, where our nearest team is based. We still come to you — but at this distance, telehealth carries more of the week, and we'll be straight with you about scheduling before you commit to anything.
ABA here works the same way it does everywhere we serve: a BCBA-led plan written for your child, one-on-one sessions with an ABA therapist, and regular coaching for you. New to all of this? Start with what ABA therapy actually is, then what to expect at the first session.
Home, daycare or telehealth: what fits Byers families
About 88% of children under 6 across Pratt 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. (Byers is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)
About 84% of households across Pratt 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 Byers
Byers is served by Pratt County school districts, including USD 382 Pratt (about 1,200 students across 4 schools) and USD 438 Skyline Schools (about 385 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 Byers
Families in Byers pay for care in different ways. Census figures show that across Pratt County, about 29% of children are covered only by Medicaid or another public plan, and about 6.8% have no coverage at all — the rest mostly have insurance through a parent's job or a plan they bought.
Whatever card is in your wallet, the first step is the same: send us a photo and we check your ABA benefits directly with your plan — free.
