What ABA therapy looks like in Collyer

Collyer in Trego County is a very small community — about 87 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.

Collyer is about 177 miles from our Wichita team — the far edge of where we work. We won't promise a schedule we can't keep: call us, tell us your town, and we'll give you a straight answer about in-home visits, telehealth, and what a realistic start looks like.

ABA here works the same way it does everywhere we serve: a BCBA-led plan written for your child, one-on-one sessions with an ABA therapist, and regular coaching for you. New to all of this? Start with what ABA therapy actually is, then what to expect at the first session.

Autism and young children in Collyer

Census estimates count about 5 children under 18 in Collyer, including about 0 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. In a community this size, that may mean just one or two families — which is exactly why parents here can feel alone. You are not.

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

Home, daycare or telehealth: what fits Collyer families

About 97% of children under 6 across Trego 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. (Collyer is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

About 89% of households across Trego 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 Collyer

Collyer is served by Trego County school districts, including USD 208 Wakeeney (about 404 students across 2 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.
