What ABA therapy looks like in Eldora
Eldora in Boulder County is a very small community — about 440 people. It is an unincorporated community — there is no city hall, but neighbors know it by name, and so do we. No town is too small for in-home ABA. We plan visits and telehealth around where you actually live, and we tell you plainly what that looks like for your address.
The nearest Sunbird team is in Lakewood, about 31 miles away. Our Lakewood team travels to homes in Eldora, and video check-ins with your BCBA fill the days in between.
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.
Home, daycare or telehealth: what fits Eldora 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. (Eldora is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)
About 100% of households in Eldora 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 Eldora
Eldora 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.
