In-Home ABA Therapy for Autism in Timnath, Colorado

Budding Futures ABA is a Colorado practice that provides evidence-based, compassionate ABA therapy. Board certified behavior analysts write every treatment plan, highly trained registered behavior technicians run the therapy sessions, and BCBAs supervise about 20% of hours when clinically appropriate. Rachel Blackburn, BCBA, is our Clinical Director.

Every child gets an individualized plan, and your child works with the same technician week to week.

Most families start with one-on-one ABA at home, built around what is hardest right now: communication, social skills and social interaction, potty training, meltdowns and daily routines. For toddlers under 3 we offer early intervention ABA in the Fort Collins area, and for school-age children school-based ABA support where the district allows it.

Parents and caregivers get coaching in every plan, and sessions can run on weekday evenings until 8 PM or on weekends.

Most in-home therapy sessions happen in Timnath, about 15 minutes east of Fort Collins, where your child learns in a familiar environment. When a goal needs practice out in the world, sessions can move to daycare, preschool or a community spot like the Poudre River open space or the trails near Timnath Reservoir.

Timnath has grown by nearly 80% since 2020, to about 11,600 residents (Census 2025 estimate), so many families here are new to the area.
