Why Choose ABA Therapy in Ypsilanti?

Ypsilanti and Ypsilanti Township sit a few miles east of Ann Arbor in Washtenaw County, and the school map here changed in 2013, when the Ypsilanti and Willow Run districts merged into Ypsilanti Community Schools. Parts of Ypsilanti Township are served by Lincoln Consolidated Schools instead. Many families compare local ABA with the larger Ann Arbor market. The Washtenaw Intermediate School District handles Early On for young children in the county.

Ypsilanti Community Schools serves the city and much of the surrounding area. Lincoln Consolidated Schools serves parts of Ypsilanti, Augusta, and York townships, so a township address can belong to either district. For a child under three, Washtenaw ISD directs families to the Early On online referral or the statewide line. For ages three through five, Build Up Michigan supports Child Find, and the district runs the evaluation. Medicaid ABA for children under 21 runs through the county community mental health system, which in Washtenaw County is Washtenaw County Community Mental Health. Ask any provider about current openings, BCBA supervision, and caregiver coaching. The early intervention guide and IEP guide explain the public side.

Frequently Asked Questions About ABA Therapy in Ypsilanti

Is a Ypsilanti Township home in Ypsilanti Community Schools or Lincoln Consolidated?
It can be either. Ypsilanti Community Schools was formed in 2013 from the Ypsilanti and Willow Run districts, while Lincoln Consolidated Schools serves parts of Ypsilanti Township along with Augusta and York townships. Confirm your district by address before you request an evaluation.
How does a Ypsilanti family make an Early On referral?
Washtenaw ISD asks families to place an Early On referral for children birth to three through the Early On Michigan online form or the statewide 1-800-EarlyOn line. A service coordinator follows up to arrange the evaluation. No diagnosis is needed to refer.
Should Ypsilanti families also look at Ann Arbor ABA providers?
Ann Arbor is close and has a larger pool, so it is worth comparing. Count the full weekly drive at session time, and if you want in-home therapy, confirm that an Ann Arbor provider actually staffs Ypsilanti addresses rather than listing Washtenaw County as a general service area.
Our child is four. Who evaluates for preschool special education?
The district serving your address. Michigan's Build Up Michigan program supports Child Find for children ages three through five and can help you reach the right district contact. Send a dated, written request and keep a copy. The evaluation request guide shows what to write.
How do we keep ABA and preschool from overloading a Ypsilanti child?
Ask the provider to build the schedule around the preschool day, not the other way around. Request a written weekly plan that shows session times, travel, and rest. If your child is tired by afternoon, ask whether some hours can shift to a weekend block.
