What ABA therapy looks like in Mount Hope

Mount Hope in Sedgwick County is a small community of about 754 people. In a town this size, everybody knows everybody — and families can feel like they are the only ones dealing with autism. You are not, and you don't need to move or drive hours for help.

Our Sunbird ABA team in the Mount Hope area is here serving you. Your child's ABA therapist comes to your home or daycare, and your BCBA stays in touch by video between visits — so help is here, not a long drive away.

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 Mount Hope

Census estimates count about 150 children under 18 in Mount Hope, including about 40 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 5 children in Mount Hope who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

For the 40 youngest children in Mount Hope, 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.

ABA isn't only for toddlers. For school-age kids in Mount Hope, 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 Mount Hope

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. (Mount Hope is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

Connectivity is strong — about 91% of homes have broadband. Most families here use telehealth for quick BCBA check-ins and coaching between in-person sessions.

ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Mount Hope

Mount Hope 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.

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.
