Northern Colorado families have been driving over an hour to Denver for qualified ABA therapy. That should not be necessary. Budding Futures brings BCBA-supervised, in-home ABA therapy directly to Fort Collins so your child can learn where they are most comfortable.
With 171,000 residents and the youngest median age (30.9) of any city we serve, Fort Collins has roughly 29,000 children and some of Colorado's strongest autism support organizations. What it lacks is enough ABA providers. With the CDC reporting 1 in 31 children now diagnosed with autism, that gap hits Northern Colorado families hard. We are here to close it.
Every Fort Collins family receives the same clinical standard as families closer to Denver. Distance from our office does not change the quality of care your child receives.
Sessions happen at your Fort Collins home with trained RBTs. No hour-long drive to Denver, no waiting rooms. Your child learns in their own environment.
Every treatment plan is created and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, using our evidence-based methodology. Not an aide, not a coordinator. Clinical leadership from day one.
You are coached as a partner in your child's progress. Our parent training program shows you how to reinforce therapy goals throughout the day so progress continues between sessions.
We check your Medicaid or private insurance coverage before your first session. Fort Collins has a 15.83% poverty rate, and Medicaid coverage matters here. Colorado spent over $287 million on Medicaid-funded ABA last fiscal year, and EPSDT covers ABA for all children under 21. We handle the paperwork.
The full scope of ABA care, from initial evaluation through ongoing school collaboration with Poudre School District. Over 6 ABA centers have closed across Colorado in recent years, making stable providers even more critical in Northern Colorado.
A BCBA meets your child and family at your Fort Collins home to assess strengths, identify goals, and build a treatment plan around what matters most to you.
Daily sessions in your Fort Collins home by trained RBTs using play-based ABA. Skills transfer to real life immediately because your child learns where they live.
We coach you on reinforcing therapy goals throughout the day. You should not have to figure this out alone, and progress should not stop between sessions.
We partner with your child's school across Poudre School District's 52 schools to align therapy goals between home and classroom. Progress carries everywhere.
BCBAs gather insight from parents, teachers, and caregivers so your child's plan reflects every environment they spend time in.
We check your Medicaid or insurance coverage before therapy starts. No surprises, no complicated paperwork for your family to deal with.
Yes. Colorado Medicaid covers ABA therapy for children with an autism diagnosis, and most private plans do too. With Fort Collins' 15.83% poverty rate, Medicaid access matters. We verify your coverage and handle the paperwork before your first session.
Not sure if your plan covers ABA? We verify your benefits at no cost before your first session.
