Denver, CO

Center-based ABA services are now available in the Centennial/Denver Area!

Step into one of our autism treatment centers, and you will immediately notice one thing: they were designed with children first. With toys, games, musical instruments, activity centers, and more, it’s a children’s paradise. But just below the surface, and baked into every activity is something greater – Behavior Frontiers’ award-winning Applied Behavior Analysis treatment. 

Whether your child receives services in a center or at home, the goal remains the same: to expand your child’s skills in areas of need by focusing on their strengths, by creating a positive environment in which your child can grow and thrive, and by teaching and rewarding the behaviors we want to see more of!

Great Job!

It’s a major challenge finding the right place to get the applied behavior analysis (ABA) services your child needs. You want only the very best treatment for your child, and so do we! The professional and compassionate Behavior Frontiers team has been providing incomparable quality ABA service to clients and their families since 2004. We’re confident our accurate application of scientifically proven ABA methods makes a positive difference in the lives of individuals with autism and other special needs – we’ve got the data to prove it!

ABA services with enhanced safety precautions

Our professional and highly skilled staff is NOW available to conduct intake assessments, either in-person or through telehealth, with your family to begin the treatment process. Please contact us at 303-945-7063 to find out more about our services and to schedule an initial appointment.

Behavior Frontiers has enhanced our policies and procedures regarding the delivery of our ABA services, including, limiting staff in clients’ homes, adhering to CDC guidelines for safety and social distancing requirements for center-based services, and offering telehealth services. We also require employees and clients to cancel sessions if they exhibit any symptoms of COVID-19, as well as provide detailed protocols for clients and employees who have tested positive for COVID-19. We believe that these safety procedures have helped to reduce the risks of exposure in providing ABA services.
