Mission Statement
Firefly Autism’s mission is to celebrate the lives of individuals on the autism spectrum through learning, support, and solutions. We achieve this by building innovative, individualized programs and cultivating meaningful, impactful relationships with the individuals, families, and communities we serve. Since our inception in 2003, we have been changing the landscape of behavioral and mental health, as well as leading the field of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) treatment. Our vision is a world where individuals on the autism spectrum, their families, and communities have access to the support and solutions needed to maximize learning potential and individual success.
About This Cause
Firefly Autism is changing the landscape of behavioral and mental health. Working with individuals from 18 months to over 70-years of age, we are one of the few places in Colorado where everyone, including adults, are not only welcome, but are also receiving support. With collaboration from families and other providers, we deliver services through individualized behavioral plans and instructional goals that meet the client’s interests, values, and support needs. At Firefly Autism, we believe in using the principles of assent-based and values-based practices to ensure a person-centered approach to Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy. Our specialized programs and services identify each individual’s values, strengths, and needs across multiple developmental areas including social, behavioral, communication, academics, and life skills. By developing an individual’s ability to learn in a less restrictive environment and providing the proper intervention and supports, our goal is to successfully prepare each individual for their next educational environment. Our services include: • Clinical assessments and individualized education plans • Center-based services and home-based services • Early intervention program serving children 18 months to 7 years • School-age program serving individuals 7 to 21 years • Adult group programs serving individuals 21 to 73 years and up • Social skills groups • Sibling groups
