Program accomplishments
- ONE OF A HANDFUL OF AUTISM CENTERS IN COLORADO, FIREFLY OFFERS SOME OF THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES, INCLUDING CLINICAL ASSESSMENTS, AN INTENSIVE EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAM, SCHOOL-AGE PROGRAM, HOME AND COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAM, AND SOCIAL SKILLS CLASSES. FIREFLY'S SERVICES SPAN ALL OVER THE GREATER DENVER AREA, AND REACH AS FAR NORTH AS BOULDER AND AS FAR SOUTH AS COLORADO SPRINGS. WE SERVE AGES 18 MONTHS TO 21 YEARS IN OUR CENTER, WHILE THERE IS NO AGE LIMIT FOR OUR HOME AND COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAMS. EVERY PROGRAM HAS A 1:1 CLIENT TO THERAPIST RATIO WITH A HIGHLY QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN AND THERAPIST. FIREFLY TREATMENT PROGRAMS ARE BASED ON STATE OF THE ART, EMPIRICALLY-BASED INTERVENTIONS, UTILIZING THE SCIENCE OF APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS TO TEACH OUR CLIENTS ESSENTIAL AND LIFE-CHANGING ADAPTIVE SKILLS, AND AMELIORATE MALADAPTIVE BEHAVIOR. THE SUPERVISING PERSONNEL FOR ABA-BASED PROGRAMS ARE BOARD CERTIFIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSTS (BCBAS) WHO, IN ADDITION TO HOLDING A GRADUATE DEGREE, COMPLETING A SERIES OF COURSEWORK IN ABA, AND REQUIRED HOURS OF SUPERVISION, ARE CREDENTIALED BY THE BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS CERTIFICATION BOARD. TO MAINTAIN CERTIFICATION, EACH ANALYST MUST MAINTAIN CONTINUING EDUCATION AT LEAST ANNUALLY. TO ENHANCE SERVICE DELIVERY, OUR ORGANIZATION INCLUDES SPEECH AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY, AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL'S NEEDS. OUR PROGRAMS ARE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE. SINCE WE BASE OUR SERVICES ON EMPIRICALLY DRIVEN DATA AND EVIDENCEBASED PRACTICES, OUR CLIENTS ALWAYS MAKE PROGRESS. OUR STAFF ARE HIGHLY TRAINED, DRIVEN, AND ENDLESSLY PASSIONATE ABOUT THE INDIVIDUALS WITH WHOM THEY WORK. THE PROGRESS OF OUR CLIENTS, AND OVERALL IMPROVEMENT IN THE LIVES OF THE CLIENT AND FAMILY UNIT IS OUR ULTIMATE FOCUS. WE PROVIDE ONGOING SUPERVISION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO OUR STAFF, SO THEY ARE VERY INVESTED IN CLIENT'S PROGRESS AND IN THE EXPANDING PROFESSIONAL CULTURE OF FIREFLY AUTISM. WE HAVE NUMEROUS STAFF WHO COME TO US TO LEARN THE ART OF EFFECTIVE AND ETHICAL BEHAVIORAL TREATMENT. WE HAVE BEEN PROUD TO HAVE STAFF BECOME BOARD CERTIFIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSTS THROUGH OUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND ALL OF OUR THERAPISTS ARE REGISTERED BEHAVIOR TECHNICIANS, WHICH ARE ALSO CREDENTIALED BY THE BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS CERTIFICATION BOARD. FIREFLY AUTISM IS COLORADO'S LEADING TREATMENT CENTER FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES LIVING WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS. SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2003, FIREFLY HAS GROWN TO BECOME ONE OF THE NATION'S MOST RESPECTED FACILITIES OF ITS KIND, OFFERING A WIDE VARIETY OF EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS AND SERVICES.
