Autism therapy for kids and families in Wyandotte County
Wyandotte County is home to about 46,000 kids under 18 — about 12,000 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 1,490 children across Wyandotte County 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.
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 Wyandotte County
About 66% of children under 6 across Wyandotte 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.
About 87% of households across Wyandotte 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.

Wyandotte County has 4 public school districts.
