Behavioral Innovations - ABA Therapy for Kids with Autism

We specialize in ESDM-based, play-based therapy for young children with autism, delivered by an integrated in-house team of BCBAs, RBTs, speech, occupational, and mental health therapists plus medical support. With one of the highest numbers of ESDM-certified BCBAs in the U.S., we pair evidence-based care with strong family partnership, caregiver coaching, regular care-team meetings, and parent consultations to support progress at home.

Our Arvada center on West 80th Avenue provides in-center ABA for children with autism ages 18 months through 8 years. We also offer autism evaluation support for children ages 18 months through 6 years. BCBAs set and supervise goals, while RBTs provide therapy in play-based sessions focused on communication, social and daily living skills. Families can join BCBA-led Family Guidance twice each month. The center is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
