Observed 2026-10-13 from the Top ABA Therapy tracked provider dataset. These counts describe what this directory tracks, not the whole market. Anything we do not track stays unknown.

School-based and early intervention ABA therapy: what Denver clinics document
Where Denver clinics say how they work, 13 tracked clinics document school-based ABA therapy, 11 tracked clinics document early intervention ABA therapy and 11 tracked clinics document in-home ABA therapy. School-based support puts the program where the child already spends the day. Early intervention programs target the preschool years rather than school age. The absence of a setting in this data is missing evidence, not a statement about the clinic. The setting a family needs is worth asking about on the first call.
Insurance mentions across Denver, Colorado
Across tracked Denver listings, 10 tracked clinics mention Private pay, 9 tracked clinics mention Aetna, 9 tracked clinics mention Blue Cross Blue Shield and 9 tracked clinics mention Cigna. A mention is not a statement of benefits, network status, or eligibility. Verify with your plan administrator rather than with any directory, including this one.
How families narrow the list in Denver
A program normally opens with a functional behavior assessment before any teaching target is set. Ask how often the treatment plan is revisited and who signs off on a change. Find out which Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) holds the case before you sign anything. Ask what caseload the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) is currently carrying. A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) delivers the sessions under supervision. A Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA) can carry part of the oversight on a larger caseload. Ask whether early intervention work is run by the same team or a separate one. Ask how progress data is collected and how often you get to see it. Nothing above says which clinic is right for a family, only which questions expose the difference.
From first call to first session in Denver
Most intakes want a diagnostic report in hand before anything is scheduled. Hours matter as much as the start date, so ask how many a week the program can staff. Ask what happens if the hours offered come in below the ones recommended. Widening the search by a short drive often changes the wait more than anything else.
The list above is the evidence we hold on ABA therapy in Denver, Colorado. These counts are where the published evidence stood in 2026. The nearest tracked alternatives in Colorado are Thornton (4 tracked locations) and Wheat Ridge (4 tracked locations). This is what ABA therapy near me should mean in Denver, Colorado: tracked locations, documented settings, and the date each was checked.

Before you act on anything here
Directory inclusion is not a recommendation.

How to choose the right ABA clinic for your child in Denver, CO
The best clinic is the best fit for your child: a setting that suits your family, close supervision by a BCBA, and a schedule you can keep.
Four steps
Work through these before you commit to an intake.
- Shortlist two or three clinics above that document the setting your child needs
- Ask your insurer or Medicaid plan which of those clinics it works with before the first call
- Ask who supervises the program and how often the BCBA observes sessions
- Ask for the current wait time and whether the clinic keeps a waitlist
Questions for the first call
Ask every clinic the same six questions so the answers compare.
- How many hours a week do you recommend, and how is that decided?
- Who is the supervising BCBA, and how often will they see my child?
- How do you train parents and caregivers?
- What does a typical session look like at my child’s age?
- How do you measure progress, and how often will we review it together?
- What is your current wait time to start?

Does Medicaid pay for ABA therapy in Denver?
No tracked location in Denver mentions Medicaid on its website yet, so ask each clinic directly. Under the federal EPSDT benefit, state Medicaid programs must provide medically necessary services to children under 21; ask Colorado’s Medicaid program how it applies to ABA therapy.
Which insurers do ABA clinics in Denver mention?
Denver clinics name Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Cigna most often on their own websites; confirm with the clinic and your plan.

Of the 15 tracked locations in Denver, 11 document in-home ABA therapy, 9 document center-based ABA therapy and 11 document early intervention ABA. More tracked clinics in Denver document in-home care than center-based care. Neither setting is better for every child, so ask each clinic which settings it can staff for your schedule.
Can I get telehealth or school-based ABA therapy in Denver?
Of the 15 tracked locations in Denver, 9 document telehealth ABA therapy and 13 document school-based ABA therapy. Telehealth is commonly used for caregiver coaching and supervision alongside in-person sessions, and school-based support depends on the school’s agreement, so ask each clinic how it delivers these services.
Can I pay privately for ABA therapy in Denver?
10 of the 15 tracked locations in Denver list private pay on their websites, and 8 document parent and caregiver training. If you plan to pay out of pocket, ask for written session rates, assessment fees and cancellation terms before starting, and request a superbill in case your plan reimburses out-of-network care.
