In-Home ABA Therapy for Autism in Wellington, 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 Wellington, about 10 miles north 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 parks and playgrounds your family already uses.

Wellington's public schools, including Rice and Eyestone elementary schools and Wellington Middle-High School, are part of Poudre School District.

Health First Colorado covers ABA therapy for eligible children when it is medically necessary, and the state's benefit does not require an autism diagnosis. Wellington is in Larimer County, where Health First Colorado is managed by Northeast Health Partners (Region 2). Most families in Wellington with Health First Colorado pay $0.
