We welcome referrals from families and providers throughout the Denver metro area and beyond. As a contracted partner with Rocky Mountain Human Services (RMHS), we prioritize referrals for students who reside in Denver County when openings are available.
School Aged Program
Evoke Behavioral Health is licensed by the State of Colorado as a Day Treatment Center to serve children ages 3-21. In this capacity, we offer comprehensive therapeutic and academic support within our center. This program is appropriate when a child's IEP team as determined that a Separate School Placement is the most effective environment for their development.
​
Children enrolled in the school aged program at Evoke Behavioral Health may be placed by their school district when it is determined that the student requires a higher level of specialized support than a traditional neighborhood classroom or facility school can provide. Referrals for this program are made directly by the school district. Please contact us to learn more!
Center-Based ABA Program
Evoke Behavioral Health's Center-Based ABA program serves children in Colorado diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other Developmental Disabilities. The program utilizes the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and the power of positive reinforcement to help build important skills and decrease challenging behavior. This program maintains high staffing ratios including 1:1 support, depending on the individualized needs of each child.
​
Our ABA programs target specific skills to develop with your child that will serve as building blocks for their success as they age and grow. Communication, learner readiness, self-help, executive functioning, social and play skills are all an integral part of the program and critical for each child's development.
Evoke's center-based ABA program offers schedules appropriate for each child's individual therapeutic needs and their family's busy schedule. Our center serves children ages 3-21, and all learning areas are grouped by age to allow for age-appropriate socialization.
Early Start Autism Program
Evoke Behavioral Health's Early Start Autism Program serves children up to 6 years old who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder or a related Developmental Disability. Our ESA Program is play-based and individualized while remaining data-based and effective. Staff ratios are 1:1 throughout the day, and both full-day options and half-day options are available based on the child's specific needs.
​
In our ESA Program, your child will work on the essential skills needed to connect and communicate with those around them. These skills include Functional Communication (using choice boards and picture icons to communicate their needs, responding to his or her name, babbling, words and language development, responding to age-appropriate instructions), Social Skills (learning play routines and expanding interests, sitting in a group for circle time routines, interacting with same-aged peers), and self-regulation (calming and coping strategies, learning appropriate replacement behaviors for challenging behavior, knowing when and how to take a break).
​
When parents first hear that their child has been diagnosed with Autism, they may feel lost, confused, relieved, upset, or a combination of all of the above. Evoke Behavioral Health can help parents connect with a support system as well as help families navigate through the endless options of services, insurance, waivers, schools, and the like. Research shows that intensive early intervention services provide the best chance of prolonged success and independence later in life for young children diagnosed with, or at risk of, Autism Spectrum Disorder. We're here to walk you through that process when you're ready.
Severe Behavior Treatment Program (SBTP)
The Severe Behavior Treatment Program (SBTP) is designed for children diagnosed with I/DD and/or Autism Spectrum Disorder with complex behavioral needs. This program serves those who are at risk of residential or inpatient treatment and those transitioning out of these environments.
​
In the SBTP, staffing ratios are 2:1 or 1:1, depending on the needs of the child. We focus first on reducing dangerous or severe challenging behavior and then on teaching the appropriate replacement skills to allow the individuals served to remain safe in their home and community.
​
The families of SBTP participants are required to participate in intensive and structured family training to ensure that all effective interventions are truly generalizing to the home environment. The multidisciplinary staff working in this program are specifically trained to manage severe challenging behavior safely, as well as teach the functional and age-appropriate life skills that foster the most independence possible. Participants' community providers (other therapists, respite care workers, teachers, etc.) may also be a part of this training and generalization process.
