Frequently Asked Questions
How can families begin ABA therapy in Denver, CO?
Getting started with ABA therapy in Denver, CO begins with a simple intake process. Families connect with our team to complete initial paperwork and schedule an in-home or virtual assessment with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). During this 1–2 hour visit, we take time to understand your child’s strengths, challenges, and your goals for therapy.
Following the assessment, we develop a customized ABA therapy plan tailored to your child’s needs. This plan is reviewed with you and submitted to your insurance provider for approval. At the same time, we carefully match your child with a qualified therapy team. Once authorization is received, ABA therapy services can begin. In most cases, the full process takes a few months from start to finish.
What age groups can benefit from ABA therapy?
Is ABA therapy available in school settings?
- In some cases, yes. For children ages 5 and older, ABA services may be provided in school settings when permitted. Private schools often offer more flexibility, while public schools may have guidelines that limit outside providers. Our BCBAs can also participate in IEP meetings and school conferences to support behavioral planning.
- We also offer advocacy services for families who would like additional support navigating the school system. These services are available for an out-of-pocket fee.
Will my insurance help cover ABA therapy?
What skills can ABA therapy help improve?
Are group ABA therapy options available?
Yes, ABA therapy can include group-based sessions alongside one-on-one support. Children ages 5 and up may participate in social skills groups designed to build communication and peer interaction. Programs like Early STEPS combine individualized therapy with structured group activities tailored to each child’s development.
For older children and teens, group ABA therapy often focuses on practicing social and daily living skills in real-world settings to promote confidence and independence.
What is applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a research-based approach that helps children learn and strengthen important skills while reducing behaviors that may interfere with daily life. ABA therapy focuses on areas like communication, social interaction, and independence by using positive reinforcement and structured teaching methods.
Each ABA therapy program is personalized to meet your child’s needs, with strategies designed to support meaningful progress at home, in school, and in the community.
Is ABA therapy safe and effective for children?
When delivered by qualified professionals, this approach is widely recognized as both safe and effective. Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) follow strict ethical guidelines that prioritize respect, individualized care, and collaboration with families.
Today’s methods focus on positive, evidence-based strategies that help children build communication, social, and daily living skills while supporting independence and long-term development.
What is a typical ABA therapy schedule?
The number of ABA therapy hours each week depends on your child’s individual goals and level of support needed. School-aged children often receive around 15 hours per week, while younger children may participate in more intensive programs, such as Early STEPS, with up to 30 hours weekly.
Consistency plays an important role in progress, and many children benefit from a minimum of 10 hours of ABA therapy per week to build and maintain skills.
What’s the difference between a BCBA, RBT, and BT in ABA therapy?
A team of trained professionals works together to support your child’s progress. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) develops and oversees the treatment plan, tracks progress, and adjusts strategies as needed.
Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and Behavior Technicians (BTs) provide one-on-one support during sessions, helping your child build skills through structured, goal-focused activities. BTs are often working toward becoming certified as RBTs.
This collaborative approach ensures consistent care and helps your child make steady progress over time.
Can parents support ABA therapy at home?
Parent involvement plays an important role in your child’s progress. Your BCBA will provide practical strategies you can use at home to reinforce the skills your child is learning during ABA therapy sessions.
Who can benefit most from ABA therapy?
Children and young adults who need support with communication, social interaction, behavior, or daily living skills often benefit from this approach. It is commonly recommended for individuals with autism spectrum disorder, as well as those facing other developmental or behavioral challenges.
Because every program is individualized, services can be adapted to meet a wide range of needs, helping children build skills that support greater independence and success in everyday life.
