Testimonials

Testimonial from an Alpine Parent:

"'It's not the number of breaths you take in life that matters, it's the number of moments which take your breath away.'
When I think of this quote, I immediately think of Alpine. This is because that is exactly what Alpine does to our family every day. We started attending Alpine in January 2010. I knew they had good recommendations, however little did I know what was in store for us. Since Nathan has been coming to Alpine he has made such huge leaps and bounds in his behavior, that most doctors claimed only anti-psychotic drugs could do! Since Nathan started coming full time... those leaps and bounds have only soared higher. When our home behavioral therapist told us about Alpine, it was as if God himself lead us to a team of angels. Moreover, there are so many great things to mention about Alpine and their staff, it would require a thesis. But I will say this: this facility composes some of the best quality that you will not see anywhere else. Firstly, Alpine has transparency. There is 100% accountability and transparency. Unlike public schools, you are more than welcome to drop in anytime. There is nothing to 'hide'. Moreover, because you child is receiving one-on-one attention, you know they are getting the best at all times. Secondly, Alpine goes above and beyond their call of duty to help your child achieve their ultimate goals. For instance, if your child is in regular school or other ABA programs, usually when the clock stops so does care for your child. Not at Alpine. When we have behavioral problems in the community, they have actually gone out to the community (i.e. the store, hospital etc.) to address the problem head on! This alone speaks volumes because what better place to help your child than in real life situations? Lastly, their curricula is exceptionally superior. One will not find a better curricula. Not all ABA curriculum are created equal. Alpine's curriculum has been extensively researched. Furthermore, unlike other programs, Alpines curriculum does not "max out" at a certain skill level. For us, this is very important because having our child lacks several "executive functioning" thinking skills. Many of these skills are often missed due to their subtlety. Thus, they are never addressed.
Thanks Alpine for being our bright and shining star!"

Mission

The mission of the Alpine Autism Center is to provide high-quality treatment for individuals and families across the lifespan, enabling those affected by autism to reach their full potential.

Background Statement

Our organization was formed in 1999 by a group of concerned parents and professionals to improve services and treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder in the Pikes Peak region. Early on, we were successful in increasing awareness, providing education, advocacy, and services to families. After several years we realized that our actions were not improving the availability and quality of services in the community. In 2004 we decided to shift our focus to opening and sustaining a state-of-the-art autism treatment center. We opened the Alpine Autism Center in October 2005 and became the first and only treatment facility in the Pikes Peak region providing specialized services to children on the autism spectrum. Our treatment program is based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). We provide individualized treatment programs and one-on-one therapy to improve academic ability, language, motor skills, behavior, daily living skills, and social skills. The program is supervised by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) with experience and education in special education and autism spectrum disorders. Our staff are highly trained and thoroughly qualified with backgrounds in education and/or psychology and have a passion for helping children with autism.
