What Does ABA Therapy Do for Children with Autism in Colorado?
Applied behavior analysis is an evidence-based therapy for autism. Its job is to help a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) learn the skills needed for real life: communication skills, emotional regulation, social connection and daily living skills. Sessions happen in your home, during snack time, playtime and the moments that matter. Skills learned where your child lives carry over faster than skills drilled in a clinic.
A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), the lead clinician, writes a personalized treatment plan and supervises it throughout. A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) collects data at every session so the BCBA can track progress and adjust. Nothing guessed. Everything measured.
Why Play-Based ABA Therapy Works in Colorado
Most people picture ABA as rigid table-top drills. That is an outdated model. Play-based ABA follows your child's interests and natural routines. The BCBA designs sessions around what your child already loves, not what is easiest to measure.
Achieving Stars Therapy calls this "Connection over Control." Therapy feels like play, and that is on purpose. Children learn faster when they are engaged. Because sessions happen at home, new skills show up at dinner that night, not weeks later.
In-Home ABA Therapy Services in Colorado
In-Home ABA Therapy
Achieving Stars Therapy comes to you. All ABA services happen in your child's own space, with no transition stress, no unfamiliar rooms and no drive to a center-based ABA therapy program. Sessions fit your family's schedule, between 8am and 8pm.
School-Based ABA Support
Your child's progress shouldn't stop at the school door. Achieving Stars Therapy BCBAs collaborate with teachers in Colorado area schools, attend IEP meetings, and provide behavior support during school hours. Achieving Stars Therapy bridges what happens in home-based therapy with what happens in the classroom.
Parent Training
You are with your child the other 23 hours. That is why caregiver training is built into every program. It is not optional and not an add-on. You learn the same strategies the RBTs use to help your child, so progress continues between sessions.
Early Intervention (18 Months to 5 Years)
Earlier is better. Achieving Stars Therapy puts young children first at intake, because early help matters most while a child is reaching first milestones. If your child is under 5 and you have concerns, do not sit on a waiting list. Call (833) 666-3115.
Older Children and Teens (Ages 6-15)
Teens with autism need different things than toddlers: social skills, self-advocacy, emotional regulation with peers and planning for what comes next. Achieving Stars Therapy's Board Certified Behavior Analysts work across the full range, 18 months to 15 years.
Does Insurance Cover ABA Therapy in Colorado?
.svg.avif)
Yes, and Colorado is unusually specific about the floor. C.R.S. 10-16-104(1.4) requires health benefit plans to cover assessment, diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorders. Division of Insurance regulation 3 CCR 702-4-2-47-5 sets the minimum: at least 550 ABA sessions a year for a child from birth through age 8, and at least 185 sessions a year from age 9 through 19, counted in 25-minute increments. Those are floors, not allowances. A plan already covering more cannot cut back to them.
Health First Colorado, the state Medicaid program, covers ABA therapy for eligible children. Achieving Stars Therapy accepts Medicaid in every state it serves, plus most major commercial plans. Call (833) 666-3115 for a free benefits check.

Your child's RBT works directly with them each session, the BCBA reviews progress data and adjusts the plan regularly.
