What ABA therapy looks like in Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs in El Paso County is a big, busy place: about 483,099 people on 202 square miles, roughly 2,390 people per square mile. With that many families close together, in-home ABA is practical here — your child's ABA therapist comes to your door instead of adding a commute to your week.

Colorado Springs is one of our team cities. Our Colorado Springs team covers the city and the towns around it — the nearest are listed further down this page.

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 therapy for young children in Colorado Springs

Census estimates count about 110,000 children under 18 in Colorado Springs, including about 29,000 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 3,425 children in Colorado Springs who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

For the 29,000 youngest children in Colorado Springs, 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 Colorado Springs, 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 Colorado Springs

About 62% of children under 6 in Colorado Springs have every parent in the workforce, so families here are split: some want sessions during daycare, others at home with a parent close by. We do both — in-home ABA and daycare-based support — and many families mix them. Our guide to home vs. daycare sessions explains the trade-offs.

Connectivity is strong — about 94% 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 Colorado Springs

Public-school students in Colorado Springs are served by Academy District 20 (about 26,000 students across 40 schools), Colorado Springs School District 11 (about 23,000 students across 57 schools), and Harrison School District No. 2 (about 12,000 students across 28 schools).

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.
