Sunbird ABA team serving USD 259 Wichita families
ABA therapy and IEP support for USD 259 Wichita families
How home and daycare ABA works alongside your child’s IEP — plus every USD 259 Wichita school and the neighborhoods they serve.
USD 259 Wichita at a glance
USD 259 Wichita serves about 46,800 students across 88 schools and 19 ZIP codes, with offices in Wichita — part of Sedgwick County. Federal data lists about 74 school psychologists and about 143 school counselors on staff.
At the CDC's 1-in-31 estimate, roughly 1,510 USD 259 Wichita students may be autistic — so if you're navigating an IEP, an evaluation or a new diagnosis here, you are far from alone.
55 USD 259 Wichita schools offer preschool, which matters for families of 3- and 4-year-olds: the district can evaluate children from age 3 for special-education services, before kindergarten.
How ABA works alongside a USD 259 Wichita IEP
Think of the IEP as the school-day plan and ABA as the rest-of-the-day plan. Sunbird's sessions happen at home and at daycare, not in USD 259 Wichita classrooms — but the goals can and should line up.
- Ask for an evaluation in writing. If you think your child needs special-education support, put the request to your school (or the district's special-education office) in writing and keep a copy.
- Share what you have. Outside evaluations and an autism diagnosis help, though the school still runs its own eligibility evaluation.
- Bring the IEP to your BCBA. With your consent, your Sunbird BCBA reads the IEP goals so home goals reinforce them — the same words, the same expectations.
- Review together. IEPs are reviewed at least yearly. Bring progress notes from home; they help the team see the whole child.
