What ABA therapy looks like in Dacono
Dacono in Weld County is a town of about 6,419 people. Families here often drive a long way for pediatric specialists. In-home ABA flips that: the therapist does the driving, and sessions happen where your child is most comfortable.
Our team works with families in Dacono the same way we do everywhere: sessions at your home or your child's daycare, a BCBA who knows your child, and telehealth check-ins so nobody waits a week for an answer.
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 Dacono
Dacono is home to about 2,000 kids under 18 — about 600 of them younger than 5 — according to the Census Bureau's latest five-year estimates. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 65 children in Dacono who may be on the spectrum — many of them not yet diagnosed.
Most parents notice something before anyone else does. If you're wondering about your little one, start with the M-CHAT screening explained, or read the signs at age 2. And if you already have a gut feeling, here's what to do next.
School-age kids benefit too — ABA can target the things that make the school day and evenings hard: transitions, communication, self-care, and handling frustration. Read how ABA and speech therapy work together, and our honest take on whether ABA is harmful.
In-home, daycare or telehealth ABA in Dacono
About 73% of children under 6 in Dacono 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.
About 95% of households in Dacono have broadband, so telehealth is easy here: BCBA check-ins and parent coaching by video, on top of in-person sessions — never as a substitute for them.
ABA therapy, schools and IEPs in Dacono
Dacono is served by Weld County school districts, including Greeley-Evans School District 6 (about 22,000 students across 35 schools), Weld County Reorganized School District No. Re-4 (about 8,200 students across 12 schools), and Weld County School District No. Re-5J (about 3,900 students across 7 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.
