Finding the right place to practice ABA therapy makes all the difference. You want to do meaningful work with families and kids, but you also need an environment that sets you up for success—not burnout.
If you’re looking at ABA careers in Colorado, here’s what it’s like to work at United Care ABA.
We built United Care ABA around a pretty simple idea: when therapists feel supported and valued, they do better work. And when therapists do better work, families get better outcomes.
What that looks like in practice:
Manageable caseloads
You need enough time with each family to actually know them, understand their needs, and deliver quality care. We keep caseloads at a level where you can do the work well instead of constantly rushing between sessions.
Strong administrative support
Dedicated staff handle scheduling, insurance coordination, and billing logistics. You focus on the clinical side—session planning, data collection, working directly with families. Less time wrestling with administrative systems, more time doing the work you’re trained for.
Transparency and regular feedback
You’ll always know where you stand. We believe in open communication—celebrating what’s going well and working through challenges together. Clear expectations, honest conversations, and support when you need it.
Your coursework taught you the fundamentals of ABA—reinforcement schedules, data collection, behavior analysis. But working with real families in their homes brings up situations you didn’t necessarily prepare for in school.
We invest in training that helps you handle the actual complexities of this work:
You’ll learn how to build trust with parents and caregivers, explain what you’re doing in language that makes sense to them, and work respectfully within each family’s unique dynamics and values.
Regular check-ins with supervisors where you can bring up challenging situations, ask questions, and talk through what you’re seeing. It’s a space to develop your clinical skills and get guidance when you need it.
Many of our clinical supervisors and program managers started as behavior technicians. If you want to move into leadership roles, we’ll help you get there. We promote from within whenever we can.
United Care ABA operates differently than a lot of ABA organizations. Our culture is therapist-driven, which means the people working directly with families have real input into treatment decisions.
Your observations matter
When you notice something—a reinforcer that’s lost effectiveness, a child who responds better during outdoor sessions, a family dynamic that’s affecting progress—that information shapes how we approach care. You’re not just implementing a standardized protocol. You’re collaborating with your clinical team to figure out what actually works for each child and family.
Clinical judgment is respected
You’re encouraged to think critically about what you’re doing and why. To ask questions when something doesn’t make sense. To suggest adjustments based on what you’re seeing. “Because the protocol says so” is never a good enough answer here.
Collaboration is real
You’ll work closely with BCBAs and other therapists. When challenges come up, you problem-solve together. When a family has a breakthrough, you celebrate together. The team support in this field makes a real difference.
Here’s what makes working at United Care ABA sustainable:
