Therapy that fits how you live
We’ve seen how powerful ABA therapy is for a child with autism, and we believe parents deserve clarity, honesty, and a team that treats them like the superheros they are.
We move at your speed
Denver runs fast. You're balancing work, school, the commute, and a kid who needs help now, not in three months. When you decide it's time, you need a provider who moves at your speed instead of adding one more thing to your list.
We get you in within 24 hours
No waitlist. No "we'll call you back." You call, and within 24 hours your child is in therapy. In a city that doesn't slow down, neither do we.
We work around your calendar
You don't have hours to spare or a schedule to rearrange. We build sessions around the life you already have, at home, at daycare, or over secure video when that's what the week allows.
Life as you know it will transform
Your child learns to ask for things, express needs, engage in conversation. No more wondering what they need.
Meltdowns decrease. Your child learns to handle frustration, transitions, big feelings. Daily life becomes manageable.
Getting dressed. Using the bathroom. Eating meals. Bedtime routines. Your child does more without constant help.
Playing with other kids. Taking turns. Understanding what people expect. Your child fits into social situations instead of avoiding them.
Your child learns to understand danger and respond appropriately. You spend less time terrified.
These skills don’t disappear when therapy ends. They stick because you learned how to reinforce them every day.
Whenever you need us
Summer ABA therapy is flexible, personalized, and built around your family’s actual summer.
Diagnostic evaluations
Not sure where your child stands? Our clinicians complete thorough assessments and explain what every result means for your family. Clear answers. A path forward you understand.
Early intervention
The youngest learners make the fastest gains. We work with toddlers and preschoolers during the years their brains are wired to absorb the most. Small steps now. Strong foundations later.
In-home therapy
Your therapist comes to your home and works with your child in the environment they know best. Breakfast. Playtime. Getting ready for bed. Real moments. Real learning.
School-based support
We coordinate with Denver school district and work during the school day. Your child gets consistent support in the classroom and from teachers.
Daycare-based ABA
We bring therapy to the place your child already spends the day. Our team partners with daycare staff so new skills show up at snack time, circle time, and play. One consistent approach everywhere.
Telehealth
When in-person doesn't work for your schedule, our BCBAs provide full therapy support through secure video. Same expert care. Your schedule. Your home.
Parent training
Weekly coaching sessions where we teach you the strategies we use. You practice in real situations. Your child learns consistency across every environment.
Weekend therapy
Weekdays fill up fast. Saturday and Sunday sessions keep your child progressing without pulling anyone away from work or school. Care that fits your week.
Summer ABA
School breaks don't have to mean lost progress. We keep sessions going through the summer so the skills your child built all year stay sharp and keep growing. Momentum that carries into fall.
Medicaid won’t pay for it? We will
Most families watch their kid get better during sessions, then everything falls apart when therapy ends because nobody taught them how to keep it going. That’s heartbreaking and it shouldn’t happen.
We teach you the exact same strategies we teach your child. Every week you get coaching where you practice with real situations in your home. Here’s what changes for you:
You understand what your child needs.
Instead of guessing, you learn why your child does what they do. You see the patterns. Behavior starts making sense.
You handle tough moments better.
Transitions. Meltdowns. Bedtime battles. You learn strategies that actually work. You're not just managing crisis anymore.
Your whole family speaks the same language.
Your therapist uses certain phrases and strategies. You learn them too. Grandparents learn them. Siblings learn them. Your child hears consistency everywhere.
Your child learns at home, not just in sessions.
Therapy happens once or twice a week. Home happens every single day. When you know the strategies, your child practices them constantly. Skills stick because they're being reinforced all the time.
You become less stressed.
You're not wondering if you're doing it right. You're not feeling helpless. You have tools. You have a plan. You know what to do.
Medicaid won’t pay for parent training. We do because your involvement isn’t something nice to have. It’s everything.
You don't have to wait for a diagnosis
You’re noticing your child isn’t hitting milestones the way you expected. Maybe they’re not talking yet. Maybe the meltdowns leave you shaken. Maybe something just feels off and you can’t quite name it. You shouldn’t have to wait months for a diagnostic appointment before anyone steps in to help.
- First, you don't need a diagnosis to start therapy. Call your pediatrician and ask for a referral to us. That referral is all it takes. A BCBA sits down with you and your child, gets to know what they're working through, and builds a plan. Therapy can start within 24 hours.
- Second, if you do want a formal diagnosis, we offer that too. Our clinicians complete the full evaluation, explain every result, and your child keeps progressing the whole time. Diagnosis or not, you don't wait.
Those numbers matter because your child’s progress matters. And your sanity during summer? That matters too.
We handle the paperwork
Colorado law requires insurance companies to cover ABA therapy for children with autism. That’s the good news. Here’s how we make it work:
- Medicaid (full coverage in Colorado)
- Most commercial insurance plans (Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and others)
- Military coverage (TRICARE, CHAMPVA)
- Verify your benefits upfront so you know exactly what you'll pay
- Handle all prior authorizations and paperwork
- Submit claims and manage reauthorizations
- Explain any out-of-pocket costs clearly before you start
You focus on your child. We focus on making sure insurance doesn’t slow you down.
