Child ABA Therapy
At ABA Centers of Colorado, we provide specialized ABA therapy for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) between the ages of 2 and 12, supporting children across all levels of the spectrum.
Nurturing Growth Through Play-Based Learning
Our approach helps to meet each child where they are developmentally while encouraging growth through structured, engaging, and play-based learning. We recognize that every neurodivergent child brings unique strengths, interests, and challenges.
Individualized Programs
We reject one-size-fits-all therapy models. Our programs are fully individualized, focusing on each child’s abilities and goals.
Minimally Intrusive
We thoughtfully design programs allowing children to explore, learn, and develop autonomy at their own pace.
Data-Driven Insights
Our BCBAs use data-driven insights to design and continuously refine treatment plans for optimal progress.
Expert ABA Professionals Supporting Your Child
Each child’s ABA therapy program is overseen by a BCBA and implemented by Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) who work directly with your child during therapy sessions.
All ABA professionals are credentialed through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) and receive ongoing training to ensure high-quality, ethical care.
Full-Day Programs Available
For toddlers and pre-kindergarten-aged children, ABA therapy may be delivered as a full-day program, helping prepare children for school readiness.
The Child ABA Therapy Journey
Every ABA journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation conducted by a BCBA, leading to a customized treatment plan designed to improve communication, independence, and overall quality of life.
Comprehensive Evaluation
The clinician observes behavior patterns, identifies strengths, and discusses family priorities and long-term goals.
Customized Treatment Plan
The BCBA develops a personalized ABA treatment plan designed to improve communication, independence, and quality of life.
Ongoing Progress Monitoring
RBTs collaborate with families while progress is measured continuously and goals are adjusted for developmental growth.

Positive Reinforcement in Child ABA Therapy
Positive reinforcement is a foundational principle of ABA therapy. When children demonstrate positive behaviors and receive meaningful rewards, those behaviors are more likely to be repeated.
Rewards are personalized and may include:
Verbal praise
Books or toys
Screen time or games
Access to favorite activities, foods, or outdoor play
Over time, children learn to replace challenging behaviors with functional skills that support long-term success.
