What ABA therapy looks like in Hanover

Hanover in Washington County is a small community of about 831 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 Hanover 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.

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 therapy for young children in Hanover

Census estimates count about 240 children under 18 in Hanover, including about 90 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 8 children in Hanover 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 Hanover, 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 Hanover

About 77% of children under 6 across Washington 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. (Hanover is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

About 86% of households in Hanover 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.

ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Hanover

Hanover is served by Washington County school districts, including USD 223 Barnes (about 490 students across 4 schools) and USD 108 Washington Co. Schools (about 370 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.
