Speech and occupational therapy for autism in Greeley, Colorado
Three pediatric speech therapy practices operate in Greeley itself. One of them is explicitly Medicaid-accessible.
Budding Futures does not provide speech therapy. We coordinate with whichever speech-language pathologist your family chooses, so this list is information rather than a referral.
A speech-language pathologist owns language and speech goals. An ABA program builds functional communication and can reinforce what the SLP is teaching. Many Greeley families use both.
Pediatric speech therapy providers in Greeley
These three practices have Greeley addresses and see children. We checked each one's own website in August 2026. We are not affiliated with any of them and we receive nothing for listing them.

Call before you count on any of them. Waitlists, insurance panels and therapist availability change faster than any website. The wider Greeley autism resources guide covers evaluations, District 6 and funding.
The free route most Greeley parents miss
Speech therapy does not have to be private. Under age three, Envision runs Early Intervention for Weld County at no cost regardless of income.
From age three, Greeley-Evans District 6 evaluates through Child Find, and speech services can be written into an IEP at no cost to you. The preschool Child Find line is 970-348-1050.
What a speech-language pathologist treats
An SLP works on far more than pronunciation. Their scope covers articulation, expressive and receptive language delay, social communication, feeding and swallowing, and motor speech disorders including childhood apraxia of speech.
Some practices specialize further. OASIS offers occupational therapy and physical therapy alongside speech, which suits a child who needs more than one service without a second commute.
Aspen Speech Therapy also lists a Greeley location on its own site. We have not published its phone number here because we could not confirm it from the practice directly, so look it up rather than trusting a directory.
Families further out widen the search to Windsor, Fort Collins and elsewhere in northern Colorado, usually for a shorter waitlist.
Where ABA fits, and where it does not
Budding Futures provides ABA therapy in the home across Colorado, including Greeley. We do not provide speech therapy and we do not employ speech-language pathologists.
What our BCBAs do is build functional communication, meaning a reliable way for your child to ask, refuse and be understood, in whatever form works. That might be speech, a sign, a picture or a device your SLP selected.
When a family has both, we follow the SLP's lead on language targets and reinforce them during our sessions. That coordination is the point, and it is why we would rather hand you an honest list of local SLPs than pretend we do their job.
Frequently asked questions from parents
Q: Who provides pediatric speech therapy in Greeley?
A: Front Range Speech Therapy, Bright Skies Therapy Center and OASIS Pediatric Therapy all have Greeley addresses and see children. Availability and insurance change, so call to confirm before you plan around one.
Q: Which Greeley speech therapy takes Medicaid?
A: OASIS Pediatric Therapy describes itself as therapist-owned and Medicaid-accessible on its own site. For the others we could not confirm Medicaid, so ask them directly.
Q: Does Budding Futures provide speech therapy?
A: No. We provide ABA therapy only. We do not employ speech-language pathologists and we do not write speech goals. We coordinate with your child’s SLP.
Q: Can my child get speech therapy through the school instead?
A: Often yes. If a child qualifies through Greeley-Evans District 6, speech services can be written into an IEP at no cost. That is separate from private therapy and can run alongside it.
Q: Do I need a diagnosis before starting speech therapy?
A: Not always for an evaluation, though insurance usually wants a referral or a diagnosis to authorise ongoing sessions. Ask the practice what your specific plan requires.
