What's Included

What Does an Expert ABA Consultation Include?

An expert ABA consultation includes a full review of your child's current treatment plan by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. With Colorado facing a shortage of roughly 2,000 qualified RBTs and average waitlists stretching past six months, families deserve to know whether their current program is making the most of every session. Budding Futures ABA Therapy assigns a BCBA who has supervised hundreds of cases across Colorado and who carries no bias toward your child's current ABA therapy provider.

The BCBA examines goals, data trends, and program structure. They then deliver a written summary of findings along with specific, actionable recommendations grounded in our evidence-based methodology. If behavior strategies need adjusting for a particular situation, your consultant walks you through exactly what to change and why.

  • Independent BCBA review of your child's existing treatment plan and progress data
  • Written summary with clear, actionable recommendations you can share with your current provider
  • Situation-specific behavior strategies for home, school, or community settings
  • Follow-up availability if you have questions after receiving your report

Who Should Request a Consultation?

Families Seeking a Second Opinion

Parents who feel their child's ABA program has stalled should request a consultation from a separate ABA therapy provider. With over 6 ABA centers closing across Colorado in recent years, many families have been left mid-treatment with no clear direction. Budding Futures' BCBAs review your child's data independently and tell you whether the current plan is on track or needs changes. Under Director Mark Hirsch, every consultation prioritizes honest feedback over sales pitches.

Pediatricians and Medical Professionals

Doctors who need to understand whether a patient would benefit from ABA can consult directly with a Budding Futures BCBA. You get a clinical perspective grounded in applied behavior analysis, not a generic referral list. This is especially useful for patients presenting with complex or co-occurring diagnoses.

Schools and Special Education Teams

School staff managing behavior challenges in the classroom can bring in a Budding Futures BCBA for targeted guidance. The consultant observes or reviews documented incidents and provides strategies that teachers and aides can implement the same week. No jargon, just practical steps.

Other Therapists (OT, SLP, Mental Health)

Occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and counselors who want to coordinate care with ABA principles can request a consultation. The Budding Futures team helps align behavioral strategies across disciplines so the child receives consistent support from every provider.
