Adventure Child TherapyABA your way
Kids’ ABA therapy in Colorado, Oklahoma & North Carolina · since 2021

Every big adventure starts close to home.

Adventure Child Therapy is a small, clinician-led ABA practice. We meet kids where life happens — living rooms across the Denver metro, Grand Junction, Pueblo, Ada, Charlotte and Thomasville, and the playroom floor of our Tulsa center — with one technician for one child, and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst who looks at your child’s progress every week.

What we do

Therapy that happens where your child’s day happens

In Colorado, that’s usually your home — plus daycare, school and community outings when your child’s plan calls for it. In Tulsa, it’s our center, with a whole team on site, and nearby homes too. Around Ada, it’s your home, school and community, and around Charlotte and Thomasville, it’s your home and community. We pick the setting because it’s where the skill needs to work, not because it’s convenient for us.

Behind every child: an assessment you can actually read, a technician who stays with your family, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst who truly supervises, and an admin team whose whole job is keeping authorizations, schedules and claims off your plate.

The path to your first session

Five steps, and we’ll walk every one with you

Most families find us somewhere in the middle of this path. Wherever you are, the next step is the same: give us a call or send the form.

  1. 1
    About 10 minutes

    Tell us about your child

    One call or one form. We’ll ask for your child’s name and date of birth, a good callback number, your insurance carrier and member ID, whether there’s a diagnosis and who made it, how you heard about us, and the days and times that realistically work for sessions.

    We won’t guess at a start date on that first call. As soon as we know, you’ll know.

  2. 2
    Depends on your state

    Gather what we need on file

    In Colorado, your child doesn’t need an autism diagnosis to begin — a letter from your child’s physician recommending ABA is enough, and we’ll tell you exactly what it should say. In Oklahoma and North Carolina, a diagnostic evaluation needs to be on file before ABA can start. Don’t have the paperwork yet? We’ll share our referral list and hold on to your information, so you never have to start over.

    No diagnosis yet isn’t a dead end anywhere — and in Colorado, you may not need one at all.

  3. 3
    Days to weeks

    Benefits and authorization

    We check your coverage and request authorization for you. With Health First Colorado, SoonerCare or NC Medicaid, authorized services cost your family nothing. With a commercial plan, we’ll share exactly what we verified and on what date — we’ll never make up a number just to fill a silence.

    Coordination of benefits is needed when care starts, once a year, and any time your insurance changes.

  4. 4
    Usually 2–4 sessions

    Assessment

    A Board Certified Behavior Analyst spends time with your child and with you, completes a skills assessment, and writes the treatment plan and hours request. You’ll read the goals before anything is final.

  5. 5
    Ongoing

    Sessions begin!

    We match your technician on availability, location and continuity — the same friendly face at the same times, whenever we can make it happen. Family guidance goes on the calendar from day one, not as an afterthought.

    Two hours of family guidance each month is the minimum, and your insurer requires it.

How you’ll know it’s working

We watch the little wins add up

Your technician records data during every session, and your Board Certified Behavior Analyst reviews it every week. When a program isn’t moving, we change it within weeks — not at the next six-month review. Ask to see the graphs anytime. We love that question.

Why you won’t find parent reviews here

Your child’s progress is private, and it belongs to your family — not our marketing. Instead, we’ll introduce you to the Board Certified Behavior Analyst who would supervise your child, walk you through how progress is tracked, and give you a straight answer about whether we can staff your ZIP code.

Want to talk with another family? Just ask. We’ll reach out to them, with their permission and on their terms.

What we believe

Five questions we keep asking ourselves

These aren’t posters on a wall. They’re the questions our supervisors ask about every child — and ones you’re always welcome to ask us, too.

Exceptional Clinical Care

Are we doing excellent behavior analysis?

Understand, Don’t Judge

Are we approaching people behaviorally, compassionately, and with dignity?

Build Bigger Lives

Are we improving what actually matters in the child’s life?

Make It Work in the Real World

Does treatment actually work across the environments where the child’s life occurs?

Collaborate & Be Transparent

Are we working openly and effectively with families, schools/daycares, external partners, and one another?

And when the answer is no?

Something changes — the program, the schedule, the technician, or the way we’re communicating with you. That’s what makes a value real.

Where we work

Seven communities, three states, one standard of care

Now in North Carolina. We’ve opened in Charlotte and Thomasville, and we keep choosing new places based on where families struggle to find care — not where it’s easiest for us. If you can’t find an ABA provider where you live, or you’re a clinician who’d love to build a team somewhere new, we’d really like to hear from you.

Working here

A job where you’re supported, too

In Colorado, our full-time in-home technicians are salaried, not hourly — so a family’s cancellation doesn’t shrink your paycheck, and billable hours above your base are paid on top. We group cases by ZIP code, reimburse mileage, and tell you on the very first call that drive time isn’t paid hourly, because you deserve to know that before an offer, not after. At our Tulsa center, technicians are hourly and work set shifts alongside the team on site.

Questions parents ask

Good questions, honest answers

Do we need an autism diagnosis before we call?
Not in Colorado. A letter from your child’s physician recommending ABA is enough to begin — no autism diagnosis required. In Oklahoma and North Carolina, a diagnostic evaluation does need to be on file before ABA can start. Either way, please call: if you need an evaluation or a physician letter, we’ll tell you exactly what to ask for and share our referral list.
What will this cost us?
If your child is enrolled in Health First Colorado, SoonerCare or NC Medicaid, there’s no cost to you for authorized services. If you have a commercial plan, we verify your benefits and tell you exactly what the plan said and when we checked. We won’t guess at a number just to have one to say.
Where do sessions happen?
In Colorado, almost always in your home — and in daycare, school or community settings when your child’s plan calls for it. In Tulsa, we have a center at 1217 East 48th Street, and we also see families in their homes. Around Ada, sessions happen in your home, at school and out in the community. In North Carolina, around Charlotte and Thomasville, sessions happen in your home and community.
How many hours will my child get?
That comes from the assessment and the authorization, not from a phone call. Hours are recommended by the Board Certified Behavior Analyst who assessed your child and approved by your plan.
How long is the wait?
It depends on your area, your availability, and staffing in your ZIP code. We don’t hand out a position number or a start date we can’t stand behind — when we have a real answer, we’ll call you with it.
