What ABA therapy looks like in Radium
Radium in Stafford County is a very small community — about 13 people. No town is too small for in-home ABA. We plan visits and telehealth around where you actually live, and we tell you plainly what that looks like for your address.
Honest map talk: Radium is about 91 miles from our Wichita team. That is a real drive, so we plan in-home visits in blocks and lean on telehealth for parent coaching and BCBA check-ins. We'll tell you exactly what that looks like for your address on the first call.
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.
Home, daycare or telehealth: what fits Radium families
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. (Radium is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)
About 86% of households across Stafford County 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.
Schools and IEPs in Radium
Radium is served by Stafford County school districts, including USD 350 St John-Hudson (about 345 students across 2 schools), USD 349 Stafford (about 234 students across 2 schools), and USD 351 Macksville (about 197 students across 2 schools). District lines don't always follow town lines, so check your address with the district if you're not sure.
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.
