What ABA therapy looks like in Eldorado Springs

Eldorado Springs in Boulder County is a very small community — about 355 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 18 miles away. Our Lakewood team travels to homes in Eldorado Springs, and video check-ins with your BCBA fill the days in between.

Here's what ABA usually looks like in practice: your BCBA observes your child at home and writes a plan, an ABA therapist runs the day-to-day sessions, and you get coaching so progress carries over between visits. How many hours a week? That depends on your child — our guide to how many hours of ABA explains how that gets decided.

Autism and young children in Eldorado Springs

Eldorado Springs is home to about 40 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. In a community this size, that may mean just one or two families — which is exactly why parents here can feel alone. You are not.

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 Eldorado Springs 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. (Eldorado Springs is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

About 90% of households in Eldorado Springs 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 Eldorado Springs

Eldorado Springs 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.

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.
