What ABA therapy looks like in Louisville
Louisville in Boulder County is home to about 20,788 people (roughly 2,599 people per square mile). It is the kind of place where weekday schedules are already full — school runs, work, practices — which is why we bring ABA therapy to your home rather than asking you to fit another drive into the day.
Louisville families don't have to drive to a clinic. Our ABA team comes to you — at home or at daycare — with BCBA coaching by video in between visits.
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 therapy for young children in Louisville
Census estimates count about 5,400 children under 18 in Louisville, including about 900 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 173 children in Louisville 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.
ABA isn't only for toddlers. For school-age kids in Louisville, goals often center on communication, managing big feelings, daily routines and getting along with friends. Wondering how ABA fits with other therapies? See ABA vs. speech therapy.
In-home, daycare or telehealth ABA in Louisville
About 67% of children under 6 in Louisville 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.
Connectivity is strong — about 95% of homes have broadband. Most families here use telehealth for quick BCBA check-ins and coaching between in-person sessions.
ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Louisville
Louisville 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.

Paying for ABA therapy in Louisville
Families in Louisville pay for care in different ways. Census figures show that in Louisville, about 9.3% of children are covered only by Medicaid or another public plan, and about 0.5% have no coverage at all — the rest mostly have insurance through a parent's job or a plan they bought.
Coverage depends on your plan, not your ZIP code, so we don't guess. Snap a photo of your insurance card, and we'll verify your ABA benefits with the plan for free and call you back with a straight answer — usually within a business day.
