What ABA therapy looks like in Sharon Springs

Sharon Springs in Wallace County is a small community of about 837 people. It is also the county seat. 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.

Sharon Springs 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.

Here's what ABA usually looks like in practice: your BCBA observes your child at home and writes a plan, an ABA therapist runs the day-to-day sessions, and you get coaching so progress carries over between visits. How many hours a week? That depends on your child — our guide to how many hours of ABA explains how that gets decided.

Autism therapy for young children in Sharon Springs

Census estimates count about 190 children under 18 in Sharon Springs, including about 70 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 6 children in Sharon Springs who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

Earlier is easier. If your toddler isn't pointing, answering to their name, or using words the way other kids their age do, it is worth a look now rather than later. Our guides walk through signs of autism at 18 months, at age 2 and at age 3, plus the M-CHAT screening many pediatricians use.

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

About 88% of households in Sharon Springs 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.
