What ABA therapy looks like in Wichita

Wichita in Sedgwick County is a big, busy place: about 396,488 people on 165 square miles, roughly 2,402 people per square mile. With that many families close together, in-home ABA is practical here — your child's ABA therapist comes to your door instead of adding a commute to your week.

We are based right here in the Wichita area, and our Wichita team brings in-home ABA to families across the city and the surrounding towns and counties, all listed below.

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.

Autism therapy for young children in Wichita

Wichita is home to about 97,000 kids under 18 — about 25,000 of them younger than 5 — according to the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimates. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 3,132 children in Wichita who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

Most parents notice something before anyone else does. If you're wondering about your little one, start with the M-CHAT screening explained, or read the signs at age 2. And if you already have a gut feeling, here's what to do next.

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 Wichita

About 71% of children under 6 in Wichita 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.

About 90% of households in Wichita 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.

ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Wichita

Most public-school students in Wichita attend USD 259 Wichita (about 47,000 students across 88 schools).

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.
