In-home, daycare or telehealth ABA in Garden Plain
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. (Garden Plain is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)
About 88% of households in Garden Plain 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.
