Therapy that fits how you live
Parker sits at the edge of the Denver metro, close enough for easy access to the city, far enough to keep its own small-town character. Downtown Parker still has that walkable, community feel, and the town has grown fast without losing it.
For families raising a child with autism here, that mix is both an asset and a challenge. The resources are there if you know where to find them. And Achieve helps you find them.
We move at your speed
Your child's program is built around their specific needs and your family's goals. Nothing is copied from another plan.
Fast onboarding, without the wait.
From your first call to a BCBA at your door, we move quickly to get your family started. Limited immediate openings. No intake delay.
We work around your calendar.
Morning, after school, evenings, or weekends. We schedule therapy when it actually works for your family.
Life as you know it will transform
ABA therapy builds skills that stay with your child long after therapy ends. Here is what Parker families tell us they see.
Your child develops reliable ways to express what they need, what they want, and how they feel.
Difficult moments become shorter and less frequent. Your child builds real tools for handling transitions, frustration, and unexpected change.
Morning routines. School transitions. Managing their own belongings and schedule. The skills that change daily life for the whole family.
Joining a conversation. Navigating friendships. Reading the room. The social world becomes more navigable.
Understanding traffic and danger, responding appropriately to strangers, knowing when and how to ask for help.
These are not temporary improvements. They become part of how your child moves through the world.
Whenever you need us
Summer ABA therapy is flexible, personalized, and built around your family’s actual summer.

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.

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's actually required.
Smooth transitions
Support for the shift from summer to school, routine changes, and IEP goals heading into the new year.
No diagnosis needed for eligible Colorado Medicaid families
A referral is all it takes to start. Other insurance plans typically require a diagnosis first.
Spots fill up fast
secure a strong start to the school year for your child.
Medicaid will not pay for it. We will.
When therapy ends for the day, your child goes back to living their life. How you respond to their behavior, how you reinforce their skills, and how your household communicates makes an enormous difference in how well those therapy gains hold.
That is what parent training is for.
Every Achieve family in Parker gets parent training built directly into their program. No extra charge. No scheduling it separately. Your therapist coaches you during sessions and between them.
What you get from parent training:
Understanding of the why behind your child's behavior
Practical strategies for the moments that feel hardest
A consistent household language that supports your child's growth
Confidence in your own ability to help your child progress
A real partnership with your child's therapy team
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 Parker 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 Colorado Medicaid, you do not have to wait. A referral from your pediatrician is enough to get started with Achieve under Colorado Medicaid’s eligibility pathway. We can begin your child’s program while the formal diagnostic process runs in parallel.
If you’re on a different insurance plan, a diagnosis is typically required before starting, we’ll walk you through exactly what applies to your coverage.
- Early intervention produces significantly 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.
- Colorado Medicaid families can start without a confirmed diagnosis. If you're enrolled in Colorado Medicaid and waiting on evaluation results, call us now. We can start.
Those numbers matter because your child’s progress matters. And your sanity during summer? That matters too.
We handle the paperwork
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 so you do not have to fight that battle.
- Colorado Medicaid (Health First Colorado)
- Most major commercial insurance plans
- Tricare and military insurance
- Private pay
- 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.
Four steps to get started
You call us
Tell us what you're seeing. We listen. We ask questions.

Not a template. Not something off-the-shelf. For them.

Parent training begins. You move forward.
This is why families choose us
No waiting.
Parker families do not sit on a waitlist. We staff to meet demand and get families into sessions quickly.
Bilingual services.
ABA therapy and parent training are available in Spanish and English.
Douglas County School District RE-1 coordination.
We work directly with local educators and special education staff to align your child’s therapy goals with what is happening in school. We communicate with teachers, attend IEP meetings when invited, and make sure home and school are pulling in the same direction.
Complex case experience.
We do not refer out difficult cases. Our BCBAs are experienced working with children across the full spectrum, including those with significant behavioral challenges, co-occurring diagnoses, and limited communication.
Ages 2 to 21.
We serve children and young adults through age 21, including teenagers and young people moving toward independence.
Neurodiversity-affirming practice.
We work with your child’s brain, not against it. ABA at Achieve is not about making your child appear neurotypical. It is about giving them real skills that improve their quality of life.
