What ABA therapy looks like in Denver 80204

Denver 80204 is home to about 35,518 people (roughly 6,458 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.

Our team works with families in Denver 80204 the same way we do everywhere: sessions at your home or your child's daycare, a BCBA who knows your child, and telehealth check-ins so nobody waits a week for an answer.

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.
