ABA Therapy in Colorado

Blossom is in Colorado. And we come to you.

  • BCBA-supervised
  • Health First Colorado and most major insurance accepted
  • We handle all the paperwork

Your privacy is our priority. All information shared is strictly confidential and used only for your care.

Why Colorado families choose Blossom

What Colorado families can count on

  • We show up at your door.

    Sessions happen at home, at school, or in the community, wherever your child is most comfortable and where the skills actually need to work.

  • The paperwork is ours.

    Colorado Medicaid runs through four Regional Accountable Entities depending on your county. We know which one covers your area and handle verification, authorization, and all paperwork before your child's first session.

  • Your child works with one consistent therapist.

    We manage caseloads carefully so your child has a real relationship with their Blossom therapist throughout their program, not a rotation of new faces.

  • If something isn't right, we fix it.

    Our 100% satisfaction guarantee means if the program isn't working for your child, we adjust it until it is.

ABA therapy services available in Colorado

Four ways to bring Blossom into your family's life

  • In-Home ABA Therapy

    In-Home ABA Therapy

    Sessions happen at your home, on your schedule. Your child learns in the environment they know best, and skills carry over faster when they're built in the place they're needed.

  • School-Based ABA

    School-Based ABA

    We coordinate with your child's classroom team and align therapy goals with their IEP, so the school day and the therapy plan are pulling in the same direction instead of running on separate tracks.

    Learn More
  • Community-Based ABA

    Community-Based ABA

    Skills have to work at the grocery store, at the park, and in the school pickup line. Community sessions practice those moments in real settings, with real unpredictability, because that's where generalization happens.

  • Parent Training

    Parent Training

    Your BCBA works with you, not just your child. Parent training gives you the tools to support your child's goals between sessions, so progress doesn't stop when the therapist leaves.

ABA therapy insurance in Colorado

We sort your insurance before day one

Medicaid plans we accept in Colorado

Commercial insurance plans we accept

Colorado's autism insurance mandate requires most state-regulated commercial plans to cover ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism. Depending on your plan, that coverage may still reach us through out-of-network benefits or a single case agreement, which is an arrangement your insurer can approve when an in-network provider is not available to you.

We are happy to look at your specific plan and tell you honestly what your options are, including pointing you to an in-network provider if that turns out to be the better route for your family.

Health First Colorado, Regional Accountable Entities

Colorado Medicaid routes behavioral health through four Regional Accountable Entities, assigned by county. Under ACC Phase III, effective July 1, 2025, they are:

RegionOrganizationIncludes
Region 1 Rocky Mountain Health Plans Pueblo, Fremont, Chaffee, Mesa, La Plata, Western Slope, San Luis Valley
Region 2 Northeast Health Partners LLC Larimer, Weld, Elbert, Logan, Morgan, Eastern Plains
Region 3 CCHA, LLC El Paso, Jefferson, Boulder, Broomfield, Teller, Park, Clear Creek, Gilpin
Region 4 Colorado Access Denver, Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas

Two counties catch families out. Pueblo sits in Region 1 with Rocky Mountain Health Plans, not with the rest of southern Colorado. And Larimer County is grouped with Weld in Region 2, not with the Denver metro regions. If you've moved counties recently, your Regional Accountable Entity may have changed even though your coverage didn't.

Health First Colorado and Medicaid ABA coverage

Full Coverage, Zero Dollar Cap

Health First Colorado, Colorado's Medicaid program, covers ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder through the federal EPSDT benefit, for children under 21, with no annual dollar cap.

That last part matters more than most families realize. Many commercial plans impose hour limits or dollar ceilings. EPSDT does not. If the service is medically necessary for your child, it's covered.

The paperwork pile stops with us. Our enrollment team verifies your coverage and handles prior authorization before therapy starts. We coordinate with your insurance and your Regional Accountable Entity so you can focus on your child.

Why early intervention matters in Colorado

The Earlier You Start, The Further They Go

Between 18 months and six years, a child's brain is more open to learning than it will ever be again. The earlier therapy begins, the easier it is for children to make progress, and early intervention takes advantage of that flexibility during the years when learning happens fastest.

Colorado runs Early Intervention Colorado for children from birth to age three, through the Department of Early Childhood. It's free to families regardless of income, and you don't need a diagnosis to request an evaluation.

Early Intervention Colorado referral line: 833-733-3734 eec.colorado.gov/early-intervention

If your child is over three, the route runs through your school district's child find team instead. We can talk you through either one.

The Blossom Colorado clinical team

Meet Your Child's Blossom Team

Every behavior analyst on your child's team holds BACB board certification. Colorado's Applied Behavior Analysis Practice Act, signed June 2026, establishes individual practitioner licensure by July 1, 2028. Until that takes effect, board certification is the operative professional standard in Colorado, and everyone on your child's team holds it.

ABA Therapy FAQs

Before you call, here's what most families ask

Does my child need a diagnosis to start?

For most insurance plans, yes. If your child hasn't been evaluated yet, reach out and we'll help you find the fastest path forward. Wait times for autism evaluation in Colorado can run long, and there are usually more options than families realize.

How does Health First Colorado cover ABA?

Health First Colorado covers medically necessary ABA for children under 21 with no annual dollar cap. Authorization runs through your Regional Accountable Entity, which is assigned by county. We handle that side for you.

Which Regional Accountable Entity covers my county?

Region 1 is Rocky Mountain Health Plans, Region 2 is Northeast Health Partners, Region 3 is CCHA, and Region 4 is Colorado Access. If you're not sure, call us and we'll look it up while you're on the phone.

What does Colorado's autism insurance mandate cover?

Most state-regulated commercial health plans must cover ABA for autism spectrum disorder. Self-funded employer plans are governed by federal law instead and need separate verification. We check your specific plan before anything starts.

Are your therapists licensed in Colorado?

Colorado's Applied Behavior Analysis Practice Act, signed June 2026, requires individual licensure by July 1, 2028. Until then, BACB board certification is the operative standard, and every analyst on your child's team holds it.

Do you provide therapy in schools?

Yes. School-based ABA is one of our four core services, coordinated with your child's IEP team and subject to your district's outside-provider policy.

Will someone really come to my home in Colorado?

Yes. In-home is our primary service, not a fallback when the schedule is full.

How long does ABA therapy take?

It depends on your child. The goal stays the same: your child needing us less over time, not more.

What if my child doesn't connect with the therapist?

Tell us. We'll make a change. A child who doesn't trust their therapist isn't learning from them.
