What ABA therapy looks like in Kechi

Kechi in Sedgwick County is a town of about 2,935 people. Families here often drive a long way for pediatric specialists. In-home ABA flips that: the therapist does the driving, and sessions happen where your child is most comfortable.

Kechi families don't have to drive to a clinic. Our ABA team comes to you — at home or at daycare — with BCBA coaching by video in between visits.

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 young children in Kechi

Census estimates count about 790 children under 18 in Kechi, including about 410 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 26 children in Kechi who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

Most parents notice something before anyone else does. If you're wondering about your little one, start with the M-CHAT screening explained, or read the signs at age 2. And if you already have a gut feeling, here's what to do next.

ABA isn't only for toddlers. For school-age kids in Kechi, goals often center on communication, managing big feelings, daily routines and getting along with friends. Wondering how ABA fits with other therapies? See ABA vs. speech therapy.

In-home, daycare or telehealth ABA in Kechi

About 78% of children under 6 in Kechi 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 89% of households in Kechi 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.

ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Kechi

Kechi is served by Sedgwick County school districts, including USD 259 Wichita (about 47,000 students across 88 schools), USD 266 Maize (about 8,000 students across 12 schools), and USD 260 Derby (about 7,300 students across 13 schools). District lines don't always follow town lines, so check your address with the district if you're not sure.

If your child has an IEP (or an IFSP for little ones), share it with your BCBA. When home goals and school goals line up, kids make progress faster and get less mixed messaging. Bring the latest evaluation reports to your first meeting, too — they save time and repeat testing.
