Colorado Springs School District 11 at a glance

Colorado Springs School District 11 serves about 22,700 students across 50 schools (4 of them charters) and 11 ZIP codes, with offices in Colorado Springs — part of El Paso County. Federal data lists about 18 school psychologists and about 7 school counselors on staff.

At the CDC's 1-in-31 estimate, roughly 733 Colorado Springs School District 11 students may be autistic — so if you're navigating an IEP, an evaluation or a new diagnosis here, you are far from alone.

26 Colorado Springs School District 11 schools offer preschool, which matters for families of 3- and 4-year-olds: the district can evaluate children from age 3 for special-education services, before kindergarten.

How ABA works alongside a Colorado Springs School District 11 IEP

Think of the IEP as the school-day plan and ABA as the rest-of-the-day plan. Sunbird's sessions happen at home and at daycare, not in Colorado Springs School District 11 classrooms — but the goals can and should line up.

  1. Ask for an evaluation in writing. If you think your child needs special-education support, put the request to your school (or the district's special-education office) in writing and keep a copy.
  2. Share what you have. Outside evaluations and an autism diagnosis help, though the school still runs its own eligibility evaluation.
  3. Bring the IEP to your BCBA. With your consent, your Sunbird BCBA reads the IEP goals so home goals reinforce them — the same words, the same expectations.
  4. Review together. IEPs are reviewed at least yearly. Bring progress notes from home; they help the team see the whole child.

Colorado Springs School District 11: questions parents ask

Does Sunbird provide ABA inside Colorado Springs School District 11 schools?
No — our sessions happen at home and at daycare. With your consent, your BCBA can align home goals with your child's IEP so the two plans support each other.
How do I get my child evaluated by Colorado Springs School District 11?
Put a request for a special-education evaluation in writing to your child's school or the district's special-education office. Children can be evaluated from age 3.
Is a school evaluation the same as an autism diagnosis?
No. A school evaluation decides eligibility for special-education services; a medical diagnosis comes from a doctor or psychologist and is usually what insurance needs for ABA. Many families pursue both.

It depends on your plan, so we check it for free. Send a photo of your insurance card and we'll tell you what's covered, usually within a business day.
