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.

The tracked locations belong to 8 distinct organizations. An autism diagnosis is the usual starting point, and the clinics in Lakewood, Colorado document programs built for autistic children.
School-based and center-based ABA therapy in Lakewood
The published evidence in Lakewood shows that 7 tracked clinics document school-based ABA therapy, 6 tracked clinics document center-based ABA therapy and 6 tracked clinics document in-home ABA therapy. School-based delivery works inside the classroom routine rather than around it. Center-based programs run in a clinic space set up for structured teaching and contact with peers. Setting is read from what each clinic publishes, so a location may offer more than the evidence shows. Ask each location which setting it actually runs today and for which ages.
Insurance families ask about in Lakewood
The published mentions in Lakewood break down as follows: 5 tracked clinics mention Blue Cross Blue Shield, 5 tracked clinics mention Cigna, 5 tracked clinics mention Private pay and 4 tracked clinics mention Aetna. Treat a mention as a starting point for a phone call, never as a benefits decision. Verify with your plan administrator rather than with any directory, including this one.
What to ask an ABA clinic in Lakewood
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. Staff turnover among Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) roles is worth asking about directly. A Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA) can carry part of the oversight on a larger caseload. Ask how many supervision hours the program includes each month and who provides them. Ask how parent training is delivered and how many hours of it you should expect. Ask how an early intervention caseload differs from the rest of the program. Progress data you never see is progress data you cannot check. These are questions to carry into a call, not claims about anyone listed here.
Access and timing in Lakewood
Ask how long the current queue is and what the last three intakes waited. A diagnostic report and a referral are usually needed before an assessment can be booked. A gap between recommended and delivered hours should have a named plan attached. Availability moves between markets, so a neighboring city sometimes starts sooner than the closest one.

How to choose the right ABA clinic for your child in Lakewood, 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?
