What ABA therapy looks like across Sedgwick County
Sedgwick County is home to about 524,810 people spread over 997 square miles (roughly 526 people per square mile) — a mix of suburbs, smaller towns and open country. In-home ABA fits that pattern well: sessions come to your neighborhood rather than asking you to drive across the county. The county seat is Wichita.
When you call from Sedgwick County, you're matched with our team that serves your area. They come to your home or daycare, and your BCBA checks in by video between sessions.
A typical plan starts with a BCBA assessment at home, then regular one-on-one sessions with an ABA therapist — a trained behavior technician — working from goals your BCBA wrote for your child. You are part of it, too: parent training is built in, because the skills have to work at dinner time, not just during a session. Curious who does what? See who is on your child's team.
Autism therapy for kids and families in Sedgwick County
Sedgwick County is home to about 130,000 kids under 18 — about 34,000 of them younger than 5 — according to the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimates. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 4,264 children across Sedgwick County who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.
For the 34,000 youngest children across Sedgwick 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.
School-age kids benefit too — ABA can target the things that make the school day and evenings hard: transitions, communication, self-care, and handling frustration. Read how ABA and speech therapy work together, and our honest take on whether ABA is harmful.
In-home, daycare or telehealth ABA in Sedgwick County
About 69% of children under 6 across Sedgwick 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 91% of households across Sedgwick 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.
ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Sedgwick County
Sedgwick County has 10 public school districts. The largest are USD 259 Wichita (about 47,000 students across 88 schools), USD 266 Maize (about 8,000 students across 12 schools), USD 260 Derby (about 7,300 students across 13 schools), USD 265 Goddard (about 6,300 students across 12 schools), USD 261 Haysville (about 5,800 students across 9 schools), USD 262 Valley Center Public Schools (about 3,200 students across 7 schools), USD 267 Renwick (about 1,900 students across 6 schools), and USD 263 Mulvane (about 1,800 students across 4 schools).
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.
