What ABA therapy looks like in Allenspark

Allenspark in Boulder County is a small community of about 826 people. It is an unincorporated community — there is no city hall, but neighbors know it by name, and so do we. In a town this size, everybody knows everybody — and families can feel like they are the only ones dealing with autism. You are not, and you don't need to move or drive hours for help.

The nearest Sunbird team is in Fort Collins, about 32 miles away. Our Fort Collins team travels to homes in Allenspark, and video check-ins with your BCBA fill the days in between.

ABA here works the same way it does everywhere we serve: a BCBA-led plan written for your child, one-on-one sessions with an ABA therapist, and regular coaching for you. New to all of this? Start with what ABA therapy actually is, then what to expect at the first session.

Autism and young children in Allenspark

Allenspark is home to about 120 kids under 18 — about 0 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 4 children in Allenspark who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

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 Allenspark families

About 65% of children under 6 across Boulder County live in homes where every parent works. For a lot of families here, the hours that matter are daycare hours — so we offer daycare-based ABA support, where your child's ABA therapist works alongside the daycare routine, plus in-home sessions for evenings and the skills that belong at home. (Allenspark is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

About 95% of households in Allenspark 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 Allenspark

Allenspark is served by Boulder County school districts, including St. Vrain Valley School District No. Re1J (about 32,000 students across 54 schools) and Boulder Valley School District No. Re2 (about 28,000 students across 56 schools). District lines don't always follow town lines, so check your address with the district if you're not sure.

Already working with your school team? Good — bring that IEP or evaluation to us. Your BCBA can shape home goals that support what's happening at school, so your child hears the same expectations in both places.
