What ABA therapy looks like across Eagle County
Eagle County has about 55,374 people across 1,684 square miles — roughly 33 people per square mile, mostly in its towns with farmland and open country in between. Families here are used to driving for specialists; with in-home ABA, the drive is ours. The county seat is Eagle.
Eagle County 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 kids and families in Eagle County
Census estimates count about 12,000 children under 18 across Eagle County, including about 2,700 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 372 children across Eagle County who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.
Earlier is easier. If your toddler isn't pointing, answering to their name, or using words the way other kids their age do, it is worth a look now rather than later. Our guides walk through signs of autism at 18 months, at age 2 and at age 3, plus the M-CHAT screening many pediatricians use.
ABA isn't only for toddlers. For school-age kids across Eagle County, 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 Eagle County
About 74% of children under 6 across Eagle 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.
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 Eagle County
Public schools across Eagle County are run by one district: Eagle County School District No. Re 50 (about 6,600 students across 21 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.
Communities across Eagle County

Eagle County borders Garfield County, Summit County, Routt County, Pitkin County, Grand County, and Lake County. Families near a county line are often closer to a town on the other side — that's fine; we serve both.
Paying for ABA therapy across Eagle County
Families across Eagle County pay for care in different ways. Census figures show that across Eagle County, about 22% of children are covered only by Medicaid or another public plan, and about 5.2% 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.
