Wondering What ABA Will Actually Be Like for Your Child?

It’s a fair question, and you deserve a real answer. Here’s what to expect at Attain.

We start by getting to know your child

Before we teach anything, we learn who your child is: what they love, what makes them laugh, and what feels safe. Assessment isn’t just testing. We want your child to have fun and want to come back.

We learn what makes therapy fun

Motivation matters. We build sessions around your child’s interests so learning feels like play, not pressure.

We build skills through play and everyday activities

Asking for what they need, joining a friend at play, and getting through daily routines are taught in the moments where those skills are actually used.

We track what’s working and adjust what isn’t

We collect data during therapy so your child’s plan isn’t based on guesswork. Your BCBA can see what’s improving and change course when something isn’t.

What We Want Every Attain Family to Know

Connection isn’t a reward for cooperation. It’s where we start.

Trust and rapport aren’t a bonus at the end of a good session. They’re the foundation for everything else we do.

Challenging behavior tells us something. We work to understand it.

We don’t just try to stop a difficult behavior. We work to understand what your child is communicating and teach safer, more useful ways to get that need met.

Parents belong on the treatment team.

You know your child best. We explain what we’re seeing, what we recommend, and why, and your goals shape the plan.

Your child is more than a diagnosis, or a treatment plan.

We see the whole child: their interests, personality, culture, and family. Goals are built around the skills that matter in their actual day.

How We Help

Our clinic is in Fort Collins, and our in-home ABA therapy is available to families anywhere in Colorado.

Flexible Care, Built Around Your Child

Every family’s week looks different. We fit therapy to your child, not the other way around.

No waitlist.

Start timing depends on your family’s availability and our staff’s schedule, and our team works to get your child started quickly.

No cap on hours of our own.

Many providers limit how many hours a child can get. We don’t. Hours are built around what your child needs; the BCBA’s clinical plan and your insurance authorization still shape the final number.

Clinic, home, or both.

Families can combine clinic and in-home sessions, or switch between them as their child’s needs change.

After school or full day.

We offer after-school sessions and full-day sessions, so therapy can fit around your family’s week.

Serving anywhere in Colorado.

Our clinic is in Fort Collins, and in-home ABA is available throughout the state. No part of Colorado is left out.

Working with your child’s school.

We coordinate with school teams, including teachers and IEP meetings.

Common Questions

Is there a waitlist to start therapy?

No. Attain has no waitlist. When sessions start depends on your family’s availability and our staff’s schedule at the times you want, and our team works to get your child started quickly.

What ages and diagnoses do you work with?

We work with children ages 1 to 18 with a variety of diagnoses, such as autism (ASD), ADHD, and anxiety. Not sure if your child qualifies? Call us at 970-999-5720 and we’ll walk you through it.

How does the initial assessment work?

The assessment happens at our Fort Collins clinic, at your home, or both. Parents take part in the assessment, too. Most families spend about 2 to 3 hours with us. Our team then writes up the results and builds your child’s treatment plan.

How will I know how my child is doing?

Progress updates and parent meetings happen weekly and/or monthly, and BCBAs provide weekly supervision of every child’s case.
