ABA is not what you may have read
What you may have heard about ABA
- ABA is 40 hours a week of drills.
- ABA tries to make kids act "normal."
- Parents sit on the sidelines.
How we actually do it
- Hours fit your child's needs and your family's week.
- Play-based and assent-based. If your child says no, we listen and adjust.
- The goals are yours: talking, toileting, safety, fewer meltdowns.
- Ten to 20% of hours go to coaching you.
Your next steps in Aurora
- Under 3? Call Developmental Pathways at 303-360-6600. They run free early intervention for Arapahoe County, with the north side of the city in Adams County through Early Intervention Colorado.
- Age 3 to 5? Aurora splits between Aurora Public Schools and Cherry Creek Schools, and both run Child Find for ages 3 to 5. Which one evaluates your child depends on your address, not on where you would like to enroll.

David Brody, verified Google reviewQuestions Aurora parents ask
Do we have to wait for anything before starting ABA?
No. You can call early intervention, the school district and us on the same day. Health First Colorado's ABA benefit does not even require the diagnosis you already have.
Can my child do ABA and speech therapy at the same time?
Yes. We don't provide speech or occupational therapy ourselves, so we coordinate with your child's speech and OT providers to keep everyone working toward the same goals.
How much does ABA cost in Aurora?
Most families with Health First Colorado pay $0. We also accept Aetna and most major plans, and we check your benefits for free before anything starts.
