What ABA therapy looks like in Holly Hills
Holly Hills in Arapahoe County is a town of about 2,652 people. It is an unincorporated community — there is no city hall, but neighbors know it by name, and so do we. Families here often drive a long way for pediatric specialists. In-home ABA flips that: the therapist does the driving, and sessions happen where your child is most comfortable.
Our Denver team is close by — Holly Hills sits about 7 miles from Denver. That puts Holly Hills well inside our regular in-home driving range.
A typical plan starts with a BCBA assessment at home, then regular one-on-one sessions with an ABA therapist — a trained behavior technician — working from goals your BCBA wrote for your child. You are part of it, too: parent training is built in, because the skills have to work at dinner time, not just during a session. Curious who does what? See who is on your child's team.
Autism and young children in Holly Hills
Holly Hills is home to about 560 kids under 18 — about 260 of them younger than 5 — according to the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimates. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 18 children in Holly Hills who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.
Most parents notice something before anyone else does. If you're wondering about your little one, start with the M-CHAT screening explained, or read the signs at age 2. And if you already have a gut feeling, here's what to do next.
School-age kids benefit too — ABA can target the things that make the school day and evenings hard: transitions, communication, self-care, and handling frustration. Read how ABA and speech therapy work together, and our honest take on whether ABA is harmful.
Home, daycare or telehealth: what fits Holly Hills families
About 47% of children under 6 in Holly Hills have every parent in the workforce, so families here are split: some want sessions during daycare, others at home with a parent close by. We do both — in-home ABA and daycare-based support — and many families mix them. Our guide to home vs. daycare sessions explains the trade-offs.
About 92% of households in Holly Hills have broadband, so telehealth is easy here: BCBA check-ins and parent coaching by video, on top of in-person sessions — never as a substitute for them.
Schools and IEPs in Holly Hills
Holly Hills is served by Arapahoe County school districts, including Cherry Creek School District No. 5 in the county of Arapah (about 52,000 students across 70 schools), Aurora Joint District No. 28 of the counties of Adams and A (about 38,000 students across 61 schools), and Littleton School District No. 6 in the county of Arapahoe (about 13,000 students across 22 schools). District lines don't always follow town lines, so check your address with the district if you're not sure.
School and ABA work best as partners. If your child has an IEP or evaluation from the district, send it along with your intake — it helps your BCBA write goals that back up the school plan instead of competing with it.
