Therapy that fits how you live
Broomfield families deal with something most Colorado cities do not. Your address determines which of six school districts runs your child’s IEP, and getting that wrong sends you to the wrong special education team. It is the single thing we spend the most time untangling for new families here, and it is worth confirming early.
We work with whichever district your child attends, coordinate with their special education team, and attend IEP meetings when invited.
Life as you know it will transform
ABA therapy builds skills that stay with your child long after therapy ends. Here is what Grand Junction families tell us they see.
Your child develops reliable ways to express what they need, what they want, and how they feel. Fewer moments of guessing on both sides.
Difficult moments get shorter and less frequent. Your child builds real tools for handling transitions, frustration, and unexpected change.
School drop-off. Managing their own belongings and schedule. The skills that change daily life for the whole household.
Joining a conversation. Taking turns at the Commons playground. Reading what other kids expect. The social world becomes more navigable.
Understanding traffic and danger near busy corridors like 120th and Sheridan, responding appropriately to strangers, and knowing when and how to ask for help.
These are not temporary improvements. They become part of how your child moves through the world, because you learn 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.

School-based support
We coordinate with Boulder Valley School District, Adams 12 Five Star Schools, and the other districts serving Broomfield, 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 does not 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.

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.

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.

Group home therapy
For individuals with autism living in group home settings, we bring expert ABA therapy directly into their environment. Our BCBAs work with group home staff to build consistency, reinforce daily living skills, and support greater independence where your family member actually lives.

Don't start the year behind.
Back-to-School ABA gets your child ready before the first bell rings. We build in-home sessions around the transition, so the skills your child needs for the classroom are already in place when the year starts, not scrambled together in week two.
Classroom readiness
Follow directions, handle transitions, and settle into a full day of structure before it is actually required.
Smooth transitions
Support for the shift from summer to school, routine changes, and IEP goals heading into the new year. Broomfield's districts do not all run the same calendar, so we build around your child's actual start date.
No diagnosis needed for eligible Colorado Medicaid families
If your family is enrolled in Health First Colorado and meets the state's eligibility criteria, a referral may be all it takes to begin. Families on commercial or employer plans typically need a diagnosis first. We will tell you which applies to you before you commit to anything.
Limited immediate openings available
Reach out early to secure a strong start to the school year.
Medicaid will not pay for it. We will.
That is what parent training is for.
Every Achieve family in Broomfield gets parent training built directly into their program. Your therapist coaches you during sessions and between them.
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. You learn strategies that actually work, so you are not only managing a crisis after it starts.
Your whole family speaks the same language.
Your therapist uses specific phrases and strategies. You learn them. Grandparents learn them. Siblings learn them. Your child hears consistency everywhere.
Your child learns at home, not just in sessions.
Therapy happens on a schedule. Home happens every day. When you know the strategies, your child practices constantly, and skills stick because they are reinforced all the time.
You feel less stressed.
You are not wondering whether you are doing it right. 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 do not have to wait for a diagnosis if you're on Colorado Medicaid
A lot of Broomfield families tell us the same thing: they have been trying to get an evaluation scheduled for months and they do not know what to do while they wait.
If your family is enrolled in Health First Colorado, you may not have to wait. Colorado Medicaid has an eligibility pathway that allows some children to begin ABA services with a referral from their pediatrician while the formal diagnostic process runs in parallel. We will confirm whether your child qualifies.
If you are on a commercial, employer, or military plan, a diagnosis is typically required before services can begin. We will walk you through exactly what applies to your coverage so there are no surprises.
- Early intervention produces better outcomes. The brain responds to ABA support most powerfully in the early years. Waiting for a diagnosis to land before starting means losing time you do not get back.
- Eligible Colorado Medicaid families may be able to start without a confirmed diagnosis. If you are enrolled in Health First Colorado and waiting on evaluation results, call us. We will check your eligibility and tell you honestly where you stand.
Those numbers matter because your child’s progress matters. And your sanity during summer? That matters too.
We handle the paperwork
Colorado’s autism insurance mandate requires state-regulated health plans to cover ABA therapy for children with autism. Self-funded employer plans fall under federal law and can differ, which matters in Broomfield more than in most places given how many families here work for large employers along the US-36 corridor. We verify every family’s benefits before anything begins.
Insurance and Medicaid paperwork should not be the reason a child does not get support. Our team handles the verifications, prior authorizations, and ongoing documentation.
- Health First Colorado (Colorado Medicaid)
- Child Health Plan Plus (CHP+)
- Most major commercial insurance plans
- TRICARE and CHAMPVA
- Private pay
- Verify your benefits upfront so you know what to expect before you start
- Handle prior authorizations and paperwork
- Submit claims and manage reauthorizations
- Explain any out-of-pocket costs clearly, in advance
Broomfield County families on Health First Colorado have their behavioral health benefit coordinated through a Regional Accountable Entity. If you are not sure which one manages your benefit or whether ABA is covered under your plan, call us and we will verify your coverage before you make any commitment.

We know the district map here.
Broomfield addresses fall across Boulder Valley School District, Adams 12 Five Star Schools, Jefferson County Public Schools, St. Vrain Valley Schools, Brighton 27J, and Weld County districts depending on where the boundary runs. We identify your district correctly, coordinate with the right special education team, and attend IEP meetings when invited.
We do not refer out difficult cases.
Your child may have anxiety alongside autism, sensory differences, or significant behavioral challenges. Our BCBAs are experienced across the full spectrum, including children with co-occurring diagnoses and limited communication.
Therapy and parent training in Spanish or English.
Your family gets clear communication in the language that works best at home, not just during sessions.
We work through age 21.
Toddlers through teenagers and young adults moving toward independence.
We work with your child's brain, not against it.
ABA at Achieve is not about making your child appear neurotypical. It is about real skills that improve quality of life.
Community resources for Broomfield families
Serves much of Broomfield, including Broomfield High School and Broomfield Heights Middle School. Contact your child's school or BVSD Special Education to initiate a Child Find evaluation or discuss IEP services.
Serves eastern and northern Broomfield, including Legacy High School. One of the larger districts on the north metro side, with its own Child Find intake process.
Broomfield's boundaries reach into all of these. Check the city's school boundary map before assuming which district your address falls in, because it determines who runs your child's evaluation and IEP.
The Community Centered Board serving Boulder and Broomfield counties. Provides case management, waiver enrollment support, early intervention services, and connection to community-based supports for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The city and county department handling Health First Colorado enrollment, benefit questions, and local family support programs. Being a combined city and county means most of what you need is in one building rather than spread across a county seat elsewhere.
Statewide organization offering parent peer support, sibling programs, community events, and advocacy, with an active presence across the north metro and Boulder County.
Early literacy programming, family events, and a practical entry point for families new to Broomfield who want to connect with other parents.

Getting connected
Broomfield put its money into open space and recreation, and it shows. For families navigating autism, that matters more than it sounds, because having somewhere predictable and low-pressure to take your child on a hard afternoon is not a small thing.
Paul Derda Recreation Center:
Eighty-five thousand square feet with an indoor aquatic park, a lazy river, water slides, a climbing wall, and an elevated indoor track. The zero-depth entry and warm-water therapy pool make it genuinely workable for kids who are cautious about water or sensitive to cold.
Broomfield County Commons Open Space:
Ball fields, trails, and wide open room to move, right next to the rec center. Easy to combine into one outing.
The Bay Aquatic Park:
Outdoor water park for the summer months. Worth checking hours for quieter windows if crowds are difficult for your child.
Broomfield Library and Auditorium:
Early literacy programming and family events, and a reliable indoor option through the winter.
Josh's Pond and McKay Lake:
Short, flat loops that work well for a walk that does not turn into a negotiation. Josh's Pond in particular is a manageable distance for smaller kids.
Big Dry Creek Trail:
Paved and long, connecting a good stretch of the city. Good for scooters and bikes without traffic to manage.
Broomfield Community Center
Indoor space, programming, and a second option when Paul Derda is busy.
We hear these a lot
Do we need an autism diagnosis before starting ABA therapy in Broomfield?
It depends on your coverage. Families enrolled in Health First Colorado may be able to begin with a pediatrician referral under Colorado Medicaid’s eligibility pathway while the formal evaluation is still pending. Families on commercial, employer, or military plans typically need a confirmed diagnosis first. Call us and we will verify which applies to your family before you commit to anything.
How quickly can my child start ABA therapy in Broomfield?
We have limited immediate openings available and our onboarding is fast. The actual start date depends on intake, assessment, insurance authorization, and matching your child with the right therapist. We will give you a realistic timeline once we have verified your benefits, and we will keep you updated at each stage.
Which school district serves my Broomfield address?
Broomfield residents are served by six districts: Boulder Valley School District, Adams 12 Five Star Schools, Jefferson County Public Schools, St. Vrain Valley Schools, Brighton 27J, and Weld County schools. Which one applies depends on your specific address, and the city publishes a school boundary map. We help families identify the right district and connect with the correct special education contact, since that determines who runs the evaluation and the IEP.
Does Achieve provide in-home ABA therapy in Broomfield?
Yes. In-home therapy is our primary service model in Broomfield. Your therapist works with your child during real routines at home, which is where most skills need to hold. We also provide school-based, daycare-based, and telehealth services depending on what fits your family.
What insurance do you accept in Broomfield?
We accept Health First Colorado, CHP+, most major commercial plans, TRICARE and CHAMPVA, and private pay. We verify your benefits before you make any commitment and explain any out-of-pocket costs in advance.
What ages do you work with?
Ages 2 through 21, including teenagers and young adults working toward independence.
Is parent training included, or is it an add-on?
It is included in every plan. Your therapist coaches you during sessions and between them, because the strategies only hold if the household is using them consistently.
Do you offer services in Spanish?
Yes. Both therapy and parent training are available in Spanish.
Achieve ABA also provides in-home ABA therapy in nearby communities across the north Denver metro and Boulder County.
