Budding Futures provides in-home ABA therapy for children with autism in Thornton, from 18 months through 18 years.
Our team is based right down the road in Denver, so Thornton families get the same clinicians who serve the whole metro area.
Sessions are applied behavior analysis built into play, run in your own living room.
We take Health First Colorado (Medicaid), Aetna, Cigna, Anthem BCBS, and most major plans.
There’s no waitlist right now, and a licensed BCBA writes and reviews every treatment plan.
Everything starts with an assessment in your home, not a clinic intake.
A BCBA comes to your Thornton home, watches how your child plays and communicates, and builds the treatment plan from VB-MAPP and ABLLS-R baselines.
A registered behavior technician works through real routines like mornings, meals, and play, so new skills stick where your child actually uses them.
You learn the same strategies we use, and progress keeps going after the session ends.
Thornton kids attend Adams 12 Five Star Schools, Mapleton, or 27J depending on the address, and with your permission we reach out to your child’s school to line up therapy goals with the classroom.

Read Mark's profileMost families with Health First Colorado pay $0, because Medicaid covers ABA 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.
