ABA Therapy in Arvada, CO — Here's Why It Works

Tailored to Every Child

Every goal is shaped by your child's abilities and your family's input, pursued in environments that reflect their interests, and reinforced through rewards that resonate with their individual preferences.

Life-Changing Results

ABA therapy can target a wide range of everyday challenges — from tantrums and repetitive behaviors to communication, social etiquette, self-control, independence, flexibility, memory, eating habits, and disorganization.

The Gold Standard for a Reason

ABA therapy has been a scientifically validated intervention for individuals with ASD since the 1970s — endorsed by the Surgeon General and universally recognized as the gold standard in autism care because the results speak for themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Getting started is simple. A call to our intake specialist kicks off the process, walking you through the necessary paperwork and scheduling an initial appointment with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). This first visit typically lasts one to two hours, includes both the child and their guardian, and is usually arranged within 45 days of completed paperwork.

Following the appointment, the BCBA puts together a personalized treatment plan, reviews it with the family to ensure it’s the right fit, and submits it to the insurance provider. Your child’s treatment team is assembled during this time, and once insurance approval comes through, staffing is confirmed and services can begin. From first call to first session, the process typically takes around four months.

We provide ABA therapy services for children and young adults from 2 to 21 years of age.
  1. In many cases, yes! For children over the age of 5, we can offer behavioral support directly in the school environment where permitted. Private schools are generally more open to outside providers, while public schools may have limitations. Our BCBAs are also available to attend IEP meetings and conferences, providing guidance around any behavioral challenges your child may be facing.
  2. For families seeking an additional layer of support, advocacy services are available at an out-of-pocket cost. Contact our intake coordinator to find out more.
Coverage varies depending on your individual plan. Medicaid generally covers ABA therapy, while commercial insurance plans may involve copays or additional out-of-pocket expenses. Our team is always happy to help you review your benefits and understand your options.
At its core, ABA therapy is designed to help individuals develop behaviors that meaningfully improve their everyday lives. This is accomplished by teaching new skills, building on positive behaviors, and reducing those that interfere with daily functioning — all through evidence-based techniques and interventions tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals. While ABA is best known for supporting individuals with autism and other developmental disorders, its principles extend well beyond — proving effective across education, mental health, and organizational behavior management.

Absolutely! Children over the age of 5 receiving ABA therapy can participate in our social skills groups, offered every night of the week. Those enrolled in our Early STEPS early intervention program experience a rich blend of individual therapy, group play, and group activities tailored to their current abilities.

Our older clients also get the chance to connect with peers out in the community — working on age-appropriate skills in real-world settings that are both meaningful and enjoyable.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) draws on the science of learning and human behavior to help individuals with autism develop new skills and reduce challenging behaviors. By pinpointing and consistently reinforcing positive behaviors while minimizing harmful or disruptive ones, ABA creates a structured path toward meaningful, lasting progress.

When delivered in accordance with established professional standards, ABA therapy is absolutely ethical. All ABA professionals are bound by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) Ethics Code, which places client dignity, individualized treatment, and family involvement at the forefront of care.

Research strongly supports ABA’s effectiveness in helping individuals develop valuable skills and enhance their overall quality of life. A truly ethical ABA practice centers on each person’s unique needs and goals, drawing on positive reinforcement and evidence-based strategies to foster growth and independence. Rigorous oversight, comprehensive training, and ongoing evaluation ensure these principles are upheld throughout every level of care.

Every child’s needs are different, so hours are tailored accordingly. School-aged children commonly receive around 15 hours of ABA therapy per week, while those in early intervention programs may engage in up to 30 hours per week. Across all programs, 10 hours per week is the typical minimum. Your BCBA will work with your family to determine the right level of support for your child.
A BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) creates and oversees each child’s treatment plan. RBTs (Registered Behavior Technicians) and BTs (Behavior Technicians) work directly with your child to carry out that plan under the BCBA’s supervision. The key difference is that RBTs are certified, while BTs are typically in the process of becoming certified.
Your involvement plays an important role in your child’s progress. Through parent training, your BCBA will teach you practical ABA strategies so you can confidently support your child at home and in everyday situations.
ABA therapy can be a great option for children with autism who need support with behavior, daily routines, or skill development. Because every child is unique, our team works with you to determine if ABA is the right fit and what approach will best support your child’s growth. Reach out to get started and learn more.
