UX & intake design for ABA providers in Colorado.
An ABA intake journey in Colorado has to sort families by things specific to Colorado: whether their plan falls under S.B. 14-212 (2014), whether they're on Medicaid, and how far they are from your nearest clinic. We design the path so those answers arrive before the first call.

The Colorado read
What UX & intake has to solve in Colorado.
Eligibility up front
The Colorado mandate has no age limit, so your journey should welcome older children, teens, and adults explicitly - most ABA sites implicitly speak only to parents of toddlers.
Payer language
Families recognize their plan, not the statute. Name the carriers and Medicaid plans you accept the way Colorado families say them, and explain that the state mandate has no annual dollar cap at the moment they're deciding whether to inquire.
Distance & modality
Strong access along the Front Range (Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder). Western Slope and mountain communities have very few providers. Telehealth is allowed in Colorado (no specific restrictions on telehealth ABA), so families outside your clinics' drive radius shouldn't hit a dead end: intake should route by zip code to in-home or telehealth options - and say clearly when neither fits.
Clinical handoff
BCBA capacity is set by supervision rules - in Colorado: Follows BACB guidelines (1:6–8 BCBA to RBT ratio recommended). Capturing schedule, setting, and location preferences up front lets coordinators match families to real caseload openings instead of a generic queue.

FAQ
UX & intake questions from Colorado.
Q.01What should an ABA intake form ask families in Colorado?
Only what intake needs to route them: the child's age, insurance carrier or Medicaid plan, zip code, preferred setting (center, home, school, telehealth), and the best time to call. Clinical history can wait for the call - asking for it up front costs inquiries before trust exists.
Q.02Should a Colorado ABA site speak to teens and adults?
If you serve them, yes. The Colorado mandate has no age limit, so older clients are often coverable, but most ABA sites speak only to parents of young children. A distinct path for teens and adults - and for the caregivers or clients themselves - captures demand competitors overlook.
Q.03How should a Colorado ABA provider present Medicaid on its site?
Plainly and early. Say whether you accept Medicaid in Colorado, which Medicaid plans you're in network with, and what a family needs to start - usually a diagnosis and a referral. Families on Medicaid often assume they'll be turned away; a clear answer keeps them from leaving.
