Individualized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Therapy
Odyssey Pediatric Therapy develops individualized ABA therapy programs to support children and their families. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) assesses each child's strengths and needs in collaboration with the family, Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), and other professionals working with the child. Treatment plans include targeted goals that reflect each child's changing needs. Direct ABA therapy is provided by a BCBA or RBT at home, at school, in the community, or at our clinic.
Educational Consultations
The BCBA observes your child in a daycare or school setting and collaborates with members of the individualized education program (IEP) team to support consistent implementation of the treatment plan. The BCBA also works with speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists to align goals and help your child learn and use new skills.
Parent Education and Training
Parent and caregiver involvement helps children use new skills beyond therapy sessions. Odyssey Pediatric Therapy offers education and training in ABA strategies to support progress across settings and everyday routines. Topics may include mealtimes and feeding, challenging behaviors, toileting, communication, routines, principles of ABA, and positive behavior supports.
Community Outreach
Practicing skills in the community helps children use what they learn in everyday situations. A BCBA or RBT can join your family at grocery stores, parks, museums, extracurricular activities, and other community settings. Outings are planned around your child's individualized treatment goals and applicable service requirements.
Professional Training
Odyssey Pediatric Therapy provides behavior training to businesses that want to understand and address behavioral challenges in the workplace. We help teams manage professional relationships and develop strategies to support a productive work environment.
Telehealth
Telehealth provides access to services through remote communication, such as video calls. Depending on your child's needs and insurance authorization, it may be an option for caregiver training, consultation, treatment plan updates, supervision, or skill development. Our team can help you determine whether telehealth fits your child's treatment plan.
Questions, Answered
Services FAQs
What is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)?
ABA is an approach based on the science of learning and behavior. At Odyssey, treatment is designed to help children build communication, social, play, and daily living skills while addressing behaviors that interfere with safety or learning.
What ages does Odyssey serve?
We provide pediatric ABA services for children and adolescents ages 2–18. Contact us to discuss your child's needs, availability, and whether our services are a fit.
Where do therapy sessions take place?
We provide therapy at home, in schools and daycares, in the community, and at our clinic. We serve Colorado Springs and surrounding areas. Our clinic is a house in the forest with trees, views, wide-open spaces, and room for outdoor play. We offer clinic days and group days, and host events there. The therapy setting is chosen around your child's needs and treatment goals. Contact our team to discuss available options.
Can Odyssey work with my child's school or other therapists?
Our BCBAs collaborate with families, schools, and other providers to support consistent goals across settings. School-based services depend on the child's needs and coordination with the school; access is not automatic.
How do we get started?
Contact our intake team first. Once your guardian portal access is arranged, open Intake Forms and choose Create Intake Form. We will follow up after receiving your form with the next steps. If you need help accessing or completing the intake form, email intake@odysseypediatric.com.
Where can my doctor send a referral?
Your referring provider can fax an ABA referral to 719-249-5834 or email intake@odysseypediatric.com. For referral instructions or help coordinating a referral, reach our intake team through the contact form.
Which insurance carriers do you accept?
We work with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, CHAMPVA, Cigna, Colorado Medicaid, and TriWest. Please contact us to confirm participation with your specific plan and any referral or authorization requirements.
How do I find out what insurance will cover?
Coverage depends on the insurance plan and authorization requirements. Contact our office so we can help you work through your benefits and next steps. An accepted insurance carrier does not by itself guarantee coverage for every service.
Is therapy only about reducing challenging behavior?
No. Helping a child build meaningful skills is central to our approach. We address barriers to learning alongside communication, self-advocacy, independence, social interaction, and other goals chosen for the child.
Do you offer parent or caregiver training?
Yes. Caregiver participation helps children use new skills during everyday routines, not only during sessions. Your BCBA will discuss training goals and practical ways to support your child between visits.
How can I see schedules, documents, and session information?
Use the guardian portal for session and scheduling information, insurance authorizations, and documents. Our For Families page also explains the text-based schedule service.
Is telehealth available?
Some services may be appropriate for telehealth. Ask our team whether remote caregiver training, consultation, or other support fits your child's needs and insurance authorization.
How often does insurance authorize or reauthorize therapy?
Insurance authorization periods are typically six months, although some payers authorize twelve months. The interval depends on your insurance payer and plan. Before the current authorization ends, we review progress, update the treatment plan, and request reauthorization according to the payer's requirements. Approval is determined by the payer. Our getting-started walkthrough explains how assessment, treatment planning, and authorization fit together.
Do you accept self-pay families?
Yes. We accept self-pay families. If you do not have insurance coverage for ABA or prefer to pay directly, contact our intake team to discuss available services, rates, and payment arrangements before starting care.
