What ABA therapy looks like in Firestone
Firestone in Weld County is home to about 17,353 people (roughly 1,248 people per square mile). 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.
Firestone 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 Firestone
Census estimates count about 4,000 children under 18 in Firestone, including about 1,000 under age 5. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 31 children is autistic. Applied here, that is roughly 129 children in Firestone 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.
ABA isn't only for toddlers. For school-age kids in Firestone, 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 Firestone
About 64% of children under 6 in Firestone have every parent in the workforce, so families here are split: some want sessions during daycare, others at home with a parent close by. We do both — in-home ABA and daycare-based support — and many families mix them. Our guide to home vs. daycare sessions explains the trade-offs.
Connectivity is strong — about 94% 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 Firestone
Firestone 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). 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.

Paying for ABA therapy in Firestone
