What ABA therapy looks like in Cimarron Hills

Cimarron Hills in El Paso County is home to about 18,808 people (roughly 3,188 people per square mile). It is an unincorporated community — there is no city hall, but neighbors know it by name, and so do we. 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.

Cimarron Hills is about 3 miles from the heart of Colorado Springs, so families here are served by our Colorado Springs team — close enough that in-home sessions are routine, not a special trip.

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 Cimarron Hills

Census estimates count about 4,900 children under 18 in Cimarron Hills, including about 930 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 157 children in Cimarron Hills 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 in Cimarron Hills, 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 Cimarron Hills families

About 68% of children under 6 in Cimarron Hills 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 96% of homes have broadband. Most families here use telehealth for quick BCBA check-ins and coaching between in-person sessions.

Schools and IEPs in Cimarron Hills

Cimarron Hills is served by El Paso County school districts, including Academy School District No. 20 in the county of El Paso an (about 26,000 students across 40 schools), El Paso County Colorado School District 49 (about 25,000 students across 30 schools), and Colorado Springs School District No. 11 in the county of E (about 23,000 students across 57 schools). District lines don't always follow town lines, so check your address with the district if you're not sure.

School and ABA work best as partners. If your child has an IEP or evaluation from the district, send it along with your intake — it helps your BCBA write goals that back up the school plan instead of competing with it.
