When you call from Fort Collins 80525, 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.
