What ABA therapy looks like in Alexander

Alexander in Rush County is a very small community — about 32 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.

We'll be upfront: Alexander is about 132 miles from Wichita, our nearest team. Families this far out usually start with telehealth parent coaching and planned in-home visits. Call and we'll tell you honestly what we can do for your address.

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 Alexander families

About 81% of children under 6 across Rush 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. (Alexander is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

About 90% of households across Rush County have broadband, so telehealth is easy here: BCBA check-ins and parent coaching by video, on top of in-person sessions — never as a substitute for them.

Schools and IEPs in Alexander

Alexander is served by Rush County school districts, including USD 395 LaCrosse (about 293 students across 3 schools) and USD 403 Otis-Bison (about 240 students across 3 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.
