What ABA therapy looks like in Pretty Prairie

Pretty Prairie in Reno County is a small community of about 553 people. 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.

Our Sunbird ABA team in the Pretty Prairie area is here serving you. Your child's ABA therapist comes to your home or daycare, and your BCBA stays in touch by video between visits — so help is here, not a long drive away.

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.

In-home, daycare or telehealth ABA in Pretty Prairie

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. (Pretty Prairie is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

About 86% of households in Pretty Prairie 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.
