Macksville is home to about 180 kids under 18 — about 30 of them younger than 5 — according to the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimates.

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 Macksville
About 60% of children under 6 across Stafford County have every parent in the workforce, so families here are split: some want sessions during daycare, others at home with a parent close by. We do both — in-home ABA and daycare-based support — and many families mix them. Our guide to home vs. daycare sessions explains the trade-offs. (Macksville is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)
About 95% of households in Macksville 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.
