What’s available in Syracuse
In-home usually starts sooner than the drive is worth
The nearest city of any size is Lincoln, roughly 27.7 miles away. That's a real trip twice a day, and for most families in Syracuse it means in-home ABA starts sooner and sticks better — with a center added later only if peer goals become the priority.
