ABA Therapy in Colorado
United Care ABA provides ABA therapy across Colorado, from the Denver metro area to Colorado Springs, Boulder, Fort Collins, and surrounding communities. We help families navigate everything from insurance verification to finding the right therapy setting for their child.
Our ABA Therapy Services in Colorado
Every child learns differently. Some do well in clinics while others need the comfort of home. Many benefit from practicing skills out in the real world. Therefore, we offer several therapy options:
Home-Based ABA brings therapy into your living room and backyard. Your child learns where they feel most comfortable.
Community-Based ABA takes learning into the grocery stores, parks, and restaurants where your child actually uses their skills.
School-Based ABA helps your child succeed in the classroom, at lunch, and at recess.
Most families use a mix of these settings. What works best depends on where your child is right now.

What to Expect with United Care ABA
Starting ABA therapy involves a few clear steps, and our team guides you through each one.
1.
Enrollment
First, we handle the insurance piece. Our team verifies your coverage, explains what’s included, and handles pre-authorization paperwork.
While that’s happening, we learn about your child. What are your biggest worries? What does a hard day look like? Then we match your child with a therapy team that fits your family.
2.
Assessment
Before therapy starts, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) completes a full assessment. Your BCBA wants to understand your child’s strengths, challenges, and the skills that would help your family.
Maybe mornings are battles. Maybe your child can’t tell you when they’re upset. Maybe even grocery trips end in meltdowns. Your BCBA builds a plan around these problems, focusing on what matters most to your family.
3.
Therapy and Support
Once therapy starts, your child works with a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) during regular sessions. Skills get practiced, progress gets tracked, and wins get celebrated.
But here’s what makes our approach work: you’re part of the process. Your BCBA and RBT teach you the same strategies they use. You learn what helps when your child is frustrated and how to practice skills at home. These strategies keep working long after therapy sessions end.
Insurance Coverage
Let’s talk about what stresses parents out most: paying for therapy.
Colorado actually has some of the strongest autism insurance protections in the country. The state’s Autism Health Benefit requires most commercial insurance plans to cover ABA therapy without age limits, and Health First Colorado (Medicaid) provides coverage for eligible families. Even if you think your income is too high for Medicaid, Colorado has waivers specifically for children with autism that can help them qualify anyway.
Here’s where we step in: Our administrative team handles verification, works through pre-authorization, and explains your benefits in plain language.
You shouldn’t need a law degree to understand your coverage! We translate the insurance maze into clear answers for you.
