What ABA therapy looks like in Loveland

Loveland in Larimer County is a big, busy place: about 77,350 people on 36 square miles, roughly 2,161 people per square mile. With that many families close together, in-home ABA is practical here — your child's ABA therapist comes to your door instead of adding a commute to your week.

Loveland 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 young children in Loveland

Census estimates count about 15,000 children under 18 in Loveland, including about 4,000 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 477 children in Loveland who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.

For the 4,000 youngest children in Loveland, timing matters. Plain-English checklists: signs at 18 months, signs at age 3. No diagnosis yet? That's fine — we'll help you get one.

ABA isn't only for toddlers. For school-age kids in Loveland, 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 Loveland

About 67% of children under 6 in Loveland 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 92% 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 Loveland

Most public-school students in Loveland attend Thompson School District R-2J (about 15,000 students across 34 schools).

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.
