What ABA therapy looks like in Colorado Springs 80916

Colorado Springs 80916 is home to about 40,579 people (roughly 2,205 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.

When you call from Colorado Springs 80916, you're matched with our team that serves your area. They come to your home or daycare, and your BCBA checks in by video between sessions.

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.

About 95% of households in Colorado Springs 80916 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.
