Federal Compliance

Budding Futures ABA Therapy complies with all applicable federal civil rights laws, including:

• Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: Prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance
• Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973: Prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance

Colorado State Compliance

We also comply with the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act (CADA), which provides protections against discrimination in places of public accommodation and employment. Colorado law provides broad protections that supplement federal civil rights requirements.

Culturally Responsive Care

Beyond legal compliance, we are committed to providing culturally responsive care. This means:

• Respecting and valuing the cultural backgrounds, traditions, and preferences of every family we serve
• Training our BCBAs and RBTs on cultural competence and sensitivity
• Adapting treatment plans to align with each family's values and home environment
• Welcoming families who speak languages other than English and working to accommodate language needs
• Creating an inclusive environment where all families feel respected and heard

Language Assistance

If you or a family member has limited English proficiency, we will make reasonable efforts to provide language assistance services, including qualified interpreters and translated materials, at no cost to you. Please let us know your language needs when you contact us.
