Rainbows United offers the most progressive, advanced therapies for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. We understand that children with autism require a unique setting, one that is structured and designed to shut out the distractions that often stand in the way of learning and developing.
"Rainbows United is what I consider to be a 'jewel of the prairie' for those parents and children seeking help in confronting and containing the neurological challegnes that autism presents".
Richard Simpson, Ed.D., University of Kansas Department of Special Education
Lydia is yet another example of a Rainbows child breaking down barriers constructed by Autism. She attends Ritchie Family Center and is learning to is the structured classroom to her benefit, such as using a picture exchange system with a sentence strip to cue use of phrases during meals.
Lydia maintains an independent spirit, but has become comfortable enough to where she will often join classmates during social activities, such as performing songs during circle time, something many families of autistic children never dare to dream of. But at Rainbows United the dreams of both children and their families are realized every day with the help of a dedicated staff, and an array of children’s resources. Many more children can recieve needed services through the Autism Waiver.
