What Family Support Center does

Family Support Center of Colorado, LLC is a private, for-profit autism therapy clinic headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, founded in 2012. The company delivers multidisciplinary care to children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder — primarily toddlers (15 months+), school-aged children (3–10), and adolescents (11–17) — through Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy as its core service, supplemented by integrated speech-language therapy and occupational therapy. Its clinical model rests on Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), Board-Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts (BCaBAs), Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), licensed psychologists (including doctoral-level diagnosticians), speech-language pathologists, and occupational therapists, supported by an iPad-based electronic data collection and reporting system used by all clinicians for real-time progress tracking. Distinct programs include Comprehensive Early Intervention, the Early Explorers school-readiness program for children under seven, and streamlined diagnostic services that shorten the diagnostic-to-treatment timeline.

Family Support Center operates as the clinical operating entity under the Unison Therapy Services family of companies, with eight physical clinics across Colorado Springs (3), Pueblo (3), and Lakewood in the Denver metro (1), plus in-home service availability for eligible families. The company accepts most major insurers — including Anthem/Elevance, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Beacon, Cigna, Colorado Medicaid, Kaiser Permanente, Tricare, United Healthcare, Optum, and UMR — and bills through these commercial and government payers on a recurring monthly cadence, making its revenue model effectively subscription-like recurring therapy hours reimbursed by third-party payers. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via website inquiries and phone intake, supplemented by referrals from pediatricians, primary care providers, school systems, and word-of-mouth, with grassroots marketing through Facebook, Instagram, and earned local media.

The business is family-of-companies affiliated under Unison Therapy Services, which provides operational and strategic support. The leadership team combines clinical depth (a BCBA-D Vice President of Clinic Operations with ~25 years of experience and published research in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis) with operational and clinical management across all locations. Formal training partnerships with Ball State University, Florida Institute of Technology, and Purdue University Global create a BCBA/BCaBA talent pipeline. The company has scaled organically from a single Southern Colorado practice to a multi-city, multi-discipline autism services platform serving thousands of families since 2012.
