What ABA therapy looks like in Bonner Springs

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 Bonner Springs
Bonner Springs is home to about 2,300 kids under 18 — about 610 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 74 children in Bonner Springs who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

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.

About 92% of households in Bonner Springs 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.
