What’s available in Sibley
In-home and telehealth aren't a compromise here
The nearest city of 50,000 or more is Sioux Falls, about 50.5 miles from Sibley. Nobody should relocate or spend three hours a day in a car to get their child autism care. A plan built around your home — with telehealth carrying the parent coaching between visits — is the right answer here, not the fallback.
