What ABA therapy looks like across Reno County
Reno County has about 61,693 people across 1,255 square miles — roughly 49 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 Hutchinson.
Reno 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.
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.
Autism therapy for kids and families in Reno County
Census estimates count about 14,000 children under 18 across Reno County, including about 3,300 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 443 children across Reno County who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.
For the 3,300 youngest children across Reno County, 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 across Reno 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 Reno County
About 68% of children under 6 across Reno 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.
About 83% of households across Reno 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 Reno County
Reno County has 6 public school districts. The largest are USD 308 Hutchinson Public Schools (about 4,300 students across 11 schools), USD 313 Buhler (about 2,600 students across 7 schools), USD 309 Nickerson (about 1,100 students across 5 schools), USD 312 Haven Public Schools (about 796 students across 5 schools), USD 311 Pretty Prairie (about 307 students across 3 schools), and USD 310 Fairfield (about 285 students across 1 school).
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.
Communities across Reno County

Reno County borders Sedgwick County, Harvey County, McPherson County, Rice County, Pratt County, Kingman County, and Stafford County. Families near a county line are often closer to a town on the other side — that's fine; we serve both.
Paying for ABA therapy across Reno County
Families across Reno County pay for care in different ways. Census figures show that across Reno County, about 32% of children are covered only by Medicaid or another public plan, and about 5.7% 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.
