Assessments & Getting Started

New to ABA, or just received a diagnosis? We walk you through assessment, goals, and insurance — step by step, no jargon.

How it works

Getting started is simple

Three steps from first hello to first session — with honest timelines and updates the whole way.

1

Say hello

Reach out for a friendly intro call. We'll listen first — your child's story, your questions, your hopes — and explain exactly what happens next.

2

Assessment & plan

A BCBA meets your child, learns what makes them shine, and builds a personalized plan around goals that matter to your family.

3

Therapy begins

Sessions start at home with a caring technician, closely supervised by your BCBA — with regular parent updates so you always see the progress.

Insurance & coverage

We're getting credentialed — carefully and honestly

Insurance credentialing is underway with major Colorado plans, including Health First Colorado (Medicaid). Join the waitlist and we'll confirm your coverage before you start — no surprises, no pressure.

Credentialing in progress with plans including:

  • Health First Colorado (Medicaid)
  • Major commercial plans serving Colorado families
  • Coverage verified for your family before services begin

Why ClearSky

A new kind of ABA company — on purpose

ClearSky is a new practice — but it's not built on guesswork. Joseph founded it with guidance from experienced ABA operators who have built and run successful practices, and that experience shapes how we operate: building slowly and carefully, with smaller caseloads, closer supervision, and families who actually know their team.

Family first, always

Parents are partners, not bystanders. Your goals shape the plan, and you're updated after every step of progress.

Clinician-led care

Every treatment plan is designed and closely supervised by a BCBA. Great therapy starts with great clinical leadership.

Data with heart

We measure what matters and celebrate every win — big milestones and tiny breakthroughs alike.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the most widely researched therapy for children with autism. It builds communication, learning, and daily-living skills — and reduces behaviors that get in the way — through positive reinforcement and play-based teaching, one small, celebrated step at a time.

Primarily in your home, across the Denver metro area — that's our specialty. Skills learned at home carry into real life naturally. Where appropriate and approved, we can also support your child in school settings in collaboration with their school team.

Our founding service area is the Denver metro. Planned launch communities include Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Littleton, Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Englewood, Wheat Ridge, and Parker. If you're nearby and not listed, join the waitlist anyway — founding families help shape where we grow next.

We're in our pre-launch phase: building our founding clinical team and completing insurance credentialing in Colorado. Denver metro families who join the waitlist now will be contacted first as soon as we're ready to begin assessments.

ABA is a covered benefit under Health First Colorado (Medicaid) and many commercial plans when medically necessary. Our credentialing with major Colorado plans is currently in progress. Join the waitlist and we'll verify your specific coverage before you start — honestly and up front.

Our founding program will focus on young children — typically ages 2 through 10 — where early intervention makes the biggest difference. If your child is outside that range, reach out anyway; we'll be honest about fit and happy to point you in the right direction.

It depends on your child's assessment and your family's schedule — often 10–25 hours per week for young children, in sessions of 2–4 hours. Your BCBA designs the schedule, your RBT delivers sessions at home, and you get regular updates and parent-training time built in.

Deeply. You'll help set goals, join scheduled parent-training sessions with the BCBA, and receive ongoing progress updates. The strategies you learn carry therapy into everyday moments — that's where the biggest wins happen.

/ About

Built by a family person, led by clinicians.

ClearSky ABA exists for one simple reason: families of children with autism deserve an ABA company that treats them like people — honest about timelines, personal in its care, and small enough that everybody knows your child's name.

Why ClearSky exists

The kind of company we'd want for our own family

ClearSky ABA was founded by Joseph Ettinger, an entrepreneur who has built businesses in the real estate industry. But ClearSky isn't just a business for Joseph — it's personal. His own son receives ABA therapy, and he watched it change his family's life: the progress, the confidence, the doors it opened. That's why ClearSky exists.

Joseph saw firsthand both how powerful great ABA can be and how hard it is for families to find care that feels personal. He saw dedicated clinicians doing life-changing work inside companies that had grown too big to feel personal. Waitlists were long, communication was thin, and families often felt like numbers. And he saw Denver as a community where that need is real — families waiting too long for care that should feel personal.

So he built the kind of practice he wanted for his own son, and he built it for Denver: a small, clinician-led practice launching in the Denver metro area, where BCBAs design and closely supervise every plan, caseloads stay intentionally small, and families are genuine partners. Joseph runs the business side — operations, systems, and support — so clinicians can focus entirely on care.

ClearSky is new — and deliberately so: a fresh practice built on an experienced playbook, with seasoned ABA operators advising behind the scenes and clinical standards set before the first family ever enrolls. Every founding family and every founding clinician is helping us build ClearSky the right way, from day one.

Family life, front and center — the way ClearSky is being built
Our mission

To help every child with autism build the skills for a fuller, more independent life — through warm, evidence-based therapy at home, designed by expert clinicians and powered by involved, confident families.

What we stand for

Our values, in plain words

Family first

Parents know their child best. Your goals lead, your voice counts, and you're never an afterthought in your child's care.

Honesty, always

Clear timelines, clear coverage answers, clear progress reports — even when the honest answer is "not yet."

Small caseloads, done right

We grow carefully on purpose. Fewer families per clinician means closer supervision and better therapy.

Data with heart

We track progress rigorously — and we celebrate the human moments behind every data point.

Joseph Ettinger
Founder & Owner
Founder · Non-clinical leadership

Joseph Ettinger — Founder & Owner

Joseph is an entrepreneur who built his businesses in the real estate industry — and a dad whose own son has been tremendously helped by ABA therapy. That experience is the reason ClearSky exists: he saw what great ABA can do for a family, and how much communities need more of it. Denver is where ClearSky begins — a community where families deserve care that feels personal, not corporate — and where he's building a small, clinician-led practice: honest, personal, and family-first.

As founder and owner, Joseph runs the business side of ClearSky: operations, hiring support, systems, and family experience. That structure is deliberate — it frees our BCBAs and clinical team to focus entirely on assessment, treatment planning, and care. ClearSky is launching in the Denver metro area with a founding-team model: small, careful, and clinician-led from the very first family.

His promise to families and clinicians alike: "We will never grow faster than we can do this well."

/ / In-Home ABA Therapy

In-Home ABA Therapy

Therapy where life happens. Our RBTs come to homes across the Denver metro area and turn everyday moments — play, meals, routines — into gentle, structured learning.

Stock photo of a therapist and parents playing on the floor with two children at home
Play-based sessions, right where life happens

Why families choose in-home ABA

  • Skills that stick: learned in the real environment, not a clinic room.
  • Comfort for your child: familiar surroundings mean less stress and faster trust.
  • No commute: therapy fits your family's life, not the other way around.
  • You see it all: watch sessions, learn the strategies, and carry them into every day.

What we work on

Communication and language · play and social skills · daily living (dressing, meals, routines) · school readiness · reducing challenging behaviors by teaching what to do instead. Every goal comes from your child's BCBA assessment and your family's priorities.

How it works

Your BCBA designs the plan and supervises weekly. Your RBT delivers one-on-one sessions — typically 2–4 hours at a time — and records progress every session. Colorado's EVV requirements are built into our visit process, so every session is documented properly from day one.

/ / School-Based ABA

School-Based ABA

When home skills need to show up at school too. We partner with teachers and school teams to support your child in the classroom, where approved.

One team around your child

A child's day doesn't split into "therapy" and "school" — and support shouldn't either. ClearSky's school-based services, delivered where a school approves outside provider support, connect your child's home program with their classroom.

  • Classroom support: an RBT supports participation, routines, and peer interaction.
  • Teacher collaboration: shared strategies and regular communication with school staff.
  • IEP-friendly: we align goals with your child's school plan and attend team discussions when invited.
  • Consistent approach: the same reinforcement and communication systems at home and school.

Availability depends on your school's policies and your insurance authorization — we'll be straightforward with you about what's possible in your district.

Parent Training & Family Support

Therapy is a few hours a week. Family is forever. We coach parents and caregivers to become confident partners in their child's progress.

Coaching through everyday moments — like story time

What parent training looks like

In scheduled sessions with your BCBA — at home or by video — you'll learn the same strategies your child's RBT uses, adapted to your real routines.

  • Encouraging communication throughout the day
  • Building smoother morning, meal, and bedtime routines
  • Responding calmly and consistently to challenging moments
  • Reinforcing new skills during play and family time
  • Understanding your child's data — what progress really looks like

Support beyond sessions

Questions between sessions? Wins to share? Setbacks to talk through? ClearSky families have a real team to reach out to — plus sibling-inclusive guidance so the whole family moves forward together.

/ / Assessments & Getting Started

Assessments & Getting Started

Every ClearSky journey starts the same way: we listen, we assess, and we build a plan that's honestly right for your child.

1

Intro call

Tell us your story. We'll explain ABA, answer questions, check what your insurance path looks like, and — if we're a fit — schedule the assessment.

2

BCBA assessment

A Board Certified Behavior Analyst spends real time with your child — playing, observing, and using respected assessment tools — and talks in depth with you about goals.

3

Your child's plan

You receive a clear, personalized treatment plan: goals, recommended hours, and how we'll measure progress. We handle the insurance authorization paperwork with you.

What you'll need

  • Your child's autism diagnosis report (from a physician or psychologist)
  • Your insurance card — we'll verify coverage before you start
  • Any school plans (IEP) or prior therapy reports you have
  • Your questions — bring them all

No diagnosis yet?

ABA services require an autism diagnosis for insurance coverage. If you're still on that path, reach out anyway — we'll explain the steps, suggest what to ask your pediatrician, and hold your place on the waitlist while you complete them.

Why founding roles are different

You're not filling a seat — you're setting the standard

Our founding clinicians help design how ClearSky works: the assessment approach, the supervision rhythm, the way families hear from us. If you've ever thought "I'd build this differently," this is that chance — with an owner who built this company to listen.

Working at ClearSky

What our founding team can expect

Small caseloads, on purpose

We cap caseloads so supervision is real and burnout isn't the business model.

Real growth paths

RBTs get mentorship toward BCBA; our founding BCBA grows into multi-site clinical leadership as we expand.

Respect for your time

Sensible schedules, honest communication, and an owner who answers — because retention starts with respect.

A founding voice

Your input shapes our processes, training, and culture — because you're helping build them.

ClearSky ABA LLC is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate the diversity of the families we serve and the team we build.

  • Supervise and mentor RBTs delivering in-home therapy (remote + in-person oversight)
  • Lead parent training and family collaboration
  • Set clinical standards, documentation, and data-review practices
  • Partner with leadership on hiring, training, and program growth

What you'll bring

  • Active BCBA certification (BACB) in good standing
  • Eligibility to practice in Colorado (note: Colorado BCBA licensure becomes mandatory July 1, 2028)
  • Type 1 NPI and CAQH profile (or eligibility) for payer credentialing
  • Experience with in-home ABA and young children preferred
  • A builder's mindset: warm with families, rigorous with data
Compensation & structure: Competitive package shaped with our founding clinician — employment structure, caseload ramp, and start timing align with our credentialing timeline. Details discussed openly in our first conversations.
