Budding Futures offers personalized autism therapy at home for children diagnosed with autism, ages 18 months through 18 years.
Therapy happens where your child lives and learns: at home first, and in school when that’s what your child needs.
Each therapy session builds communication, daily living skills, and social interaction through play your child already enjoys.
We accept Health First Colorado (Medicaid), Aetna, Cigna, Anthem BCBS, and most major plans.
There is no waitlist, and a licensed clinician owns every therapy plan.
Yes, and it is what most of our families choose. For a child with autism, at-home sessions happen in your own kitchen, bathroom and bedroom instead of a therapy center.
Skills like potty training, mealtime routines and safer transitions get taught right where your child uses them, so the learning does not have to travel. Parent coaching is built into every plan, which is what keeps therapy consistent and effective between visits.

Budding Futures sends a trained behavior therapist to your home or school throughout Greeley and the surrounding Weld County towns. There is no drive across town for you, because the therapy is delivered where your family already is.
Families in Greeley choose us for our 5.0 Google rating, broad insurance coverage, and no assessment waitlist, so effective ABA therapy can begin within days. Ask us anything about the process and you get a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
Every family lands here with their own unique needs. Some want in-school ABA therapy alongside home sessions, some want a single goal like sleep or feeding, and some are still deciding whether their child would benefit from ABA at all. We will tell you which of those we can actually help with.
No two children start in the same place, so everything begins with an assessment in your home rather than a clinic intake. These are the ABA practices we build from it, and each one is custom ABA therapy in Greeley rather than a package off a shelf.
Early childhood intervention begins as young as 18 months, when play-based teaching has the most room to shape a child’s trajectory. Early intervention ABA in Greeley →
A behavior analyst visits your home, watches how your child plays and communicates, then builds customized therapy goals from VB-MAPP and ABLLS-R baselines.
Your therapist works through real routines like mealtime, play and getting ready. How many hours per week your child needs is set from clinical necessity, never from a package.
You learn the same strategies we use, so the support you need is in your own hands after the therapist leaves.
When classroom support matters, we reach out to Greeley-Evans School District 6 with your permission and work to align goals with the school day. In-school sessions are part of what we do, though each district decides what access looks like.
We verify your benefits, file the prior authorization, and coordinate a second plan when you carry two. How Medicaid covers ABA in Colorado →
Some goals only show up outside the house. Sessions can run at a daycare or preschool that agrees to it, and in real places like a park, a store, or a playground.
Teens are served through age 18. Goals shift toward independence, self-advocacy, coping with change, and getting ready for what comes after school. ABA for teenagers →
Budding Futures works in your home and in school settings. We do not run an ABA therapy center. Some children genuinely do better at one, so here is the plain difference before you choose.
| In-home ABA with Budding Futures | Center-based ABA therapy | |
|---|---|---|
| Where sessions happen | Your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and yard | A clinic room inside a therapy center |
| Who practices the skill | Your child, with you coached in the moment | Your child, with center staff on site |
| Travel from Greeley | None. The therapist drives to you | Two trips a day, often toward Fort Collins or Denver |
| Social interaction | Siblings, playgrounds and community outings | Built-in groups with other children |
| Often the better fit for | Potty training, mealtimes, bedtime, elopement and morning routines | A child who needs a quiet, highly structured room away from home distractions |
Skills taught at home tend to stick, because your child practices them exactly where they break down. Center-based ABA programs earn their place when a child needs a controlled room or daily peer practice.
If a therapy center is the better match for your child, we will say so. Therapy for children with autism only works when the setting fits the family, and no amount of expert ABA therapy fixes a setting your child cannot settle into.

Read Mark's profileMost families with Health First Colorado pay $0, because Medicaid covers this care in full for eligible kids under 21.
Commercial plans usually land somewhere between $0 and $500 out of pocket, depending on your deductible.
Private pay runs about $120 to $150 per hour. See the full Colorado cost breakdown.
Most Colorado plans cover ABA therapy once a child has a diagnosis, and we check your exact benefits before anything starts. These are the payers we work with.
Not sure your plan covers ABA? We verify your benefits for free before the first session, we handle prior authorization, and we never balance-bill.
