What ABA therapy looks like in Paragon Estates

Paragon Estates in Boulder County is a small community of about 767 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.

Paragon Estates is about 20 miles from Lakewood, and our Lakewood team serves families here with in-home visits. Telehealth adds BCBA time between visits so nobody waits a week for an answer.

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 Paragon Estates

Census estimates count about 90 children under 18 in Paragon Estates, including about 40 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 3 children in Paragon Estates who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

For the 40 youngest children in Paragon Estates, timing matters. Plain-English checklists: signs at 18 months, signs at age 3. No diagnosis yet? That's fine — we'll help you get one.

ABA isn't only for toddlers. For school-age kids in Paragon Estates, 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.

Home, daycare or telehealth: what fits Paragon Estates 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. (Paragon Estates is small enough that the county-wide figure is the reliable one.)

Connectivity is strong — about 100% of homes have broadband. Most families here use telehealth for quick BCBA check-ins and coaching between in-person sessions.

Schools and IEPs in Paragon Estates

Paragon Estates 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.

If your child has an IEP (or an IFSP for little ones), share it with your BCBA. When home goals and school goals line up, kids make progress faster and get less mixed messaging. Bring the latest evaluation reports to your first meeting, too — they save time and repeat testing.
