Firefly Autism | Denver Metro

At Firefly Autism in Denver Metro, we understand the importance of speech therapy for autistic children. We can help you determine if your child needs speech therapy by looking at how they communicate. Signs of difficulty with communication could include not responding to questions, difficulty starting or ending a conversation, difficulty changing conversation topics, not using gestures like pointing, and not understanding others’ body language. Early intervention with speech therapy is key for language development and to help your child grow into a more independent and confident individual. If you’re unsure if your child needs speech therapy, we have a guide that covers everything you need to know. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help.

At Firefly Autism in the Denver Metro Area, we understand the importance of ABA therapy for those with autism diagnoses. To help you make the most of this treatment, we want to ensure you’re aware of the cost of ABA therapy. Generally speaking, ABA therapy is covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis. While insurance will typically only authorize ABA services for those with an autism diagnosis, it’s important to check with your specific insurance plan to make sure ABA is covered for your child’s diagnoses and that the provider you are seeking care from is in-network. To help you navigate this process, Firefly Autism has created a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about ABA therapy.
