BCBA-supervised ABA therapy delivered to your Boulder home. No clinic commute. No waitlist guesswork.
Boulder is home to one of Colorado's most educated populations and families here research their options thoroughly before choosing a provider. Boulder Valley School District serves over 28,000 students and has strong special education programs, but families still need qualified ABA support outside of school hours. With the CDC reporting 1 in 31 children diagnosed with autism, Boulder families need providers who meet the standard they expect.
Budding Futures ABA delivers BCBA-supervised, in-home ABA therapy to Boulder families. Our Denver office is about 35 minutes south along US-36. Rachel Blackburn, BCBA, oversees every treatment plan. We accept Colorado Medicaid, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Kaiser, and most insurance plans.
BVSD families expect precision. Our BCBAs coordinate with IEP teams at Crest View, Flatirons, and Mesa elementary schools, plus Southern Hills Middle and Fairview High.
Trained RBTs work with your child in your Boulder home. No commute to a clinic in Denver. Skills transfer to real life because therapy happens where your child lives.
Our Denver office is a quick drive south along US-36. That proximity means faster therapist assignments, reliable scheduling, and a BCBA who can be at your home the same week.
Most Boulder families carry employer-sponsored or CU-affiliated plans. Colorado law requires these to cover ABA therapy. We verify your Aetna, Cigna, UHC, Kaiser, or Medicaid coverage before your first session.
From your first evaluation through ongoing school collaboration with Boulder Valley staff, Boulder families get the full scope of ABA care. The U.S. Surgeon General recognizes ABA as the leading evidence-based treatment for autism, and sessions typically range from 10 to 40 hours per week.
A BCBA meets your child at your Boulder home to assess strengths, identify goals, and build a treatment plan.
Daily sessions in your Boulder home. Whether you are in North Boulder, Table Mesa, or Gunbarrel, your child learns where they live.
We coach you on reinforcing therapy goals throughout the day. Progress should not stop between sessions, and you should not have to figure it out alone.
We partner with Boulder Valley School District staff to align therapy goals across home and classroom.
We check your private insurance or Medicaid coverage before therapy starts. No surprises, no complicated paperwork for your family to deal with.
Colorado's autism insurance mandate (SB 09-244 and SB 15-015) requires private insurers to cover ABA therapy with no age or dollar caps. Medicaid covers ABA for children under 21 through EPSDT. Rachel Blackburn, BCBA, handles authorization so you can focus on your child. See our insurance and Medicaid page for the full list.
