ABA therapy in Farmington, NM
Your child is capable of so much more. With the right team alongside you, let’s go discover it.
In-home ABA therapy in Farmington, NM
The Four Corners deserves real access to ABA
Farmington sits at the confluence of three rivers and four states, and families here often feel the weight of geographic distance from larger service centers. Albuquerque is three hours south. We are here, in your home, serving San Juan County without asking families to make that drive.
We understand the coverage landscape here
Turquoise Care covers ABA for children under 21 in New Mexico. The complexity of that authorization process is something Farmington families, like rural families everywhere, often navigate without much support. We take that work off your plate entirely, including the six-month Stage 3 renewals.
We know what consistency means in a community like this
In a city where the provider network is smaller, losing a therapist isn't just an inconvenience. It can set a child back significantly. We build stable, consistent teams and maintain them.
What ABA therapy in Farmington can look like
Your child moves through the school morning without the routine breaking apart. That’s independence.
They get to a new place and give it a chance before shutting down. That’s resilience.
They put together the words to ask for what they want. That’s communication.
They find a place in a group and stay in it long enough for something real to happen. That’s connection.
You sit down at the end of a week and realize something has shifted. That’s progress.
ABA therapy services in Farmington, NM
In-home ABA therapy
For families in the Four Corners, in-home is often the only model that works. We build skills inside your home and routines, so they transfer into the rest of your child's life without requiring a clinic visit.
School-based ABA therapy
We coordinate with Farmington Municipal Schools so therapy goals and IEP goals move together. If an IEP meeting is on the calendar, let us know early.
Parent training
The hours between therapy sessions matter as much as the sessions themselves. Parent training is how you hold progress together during those hours.
Autism assessment and diagnosis
Diagnostic access in northwest New Mexico is limited. We work with a virtual diagnostic partner and most families are scheduled within two to three weeks.
Community-based ABA
The grocery store, the park, the family gathering: community sessions build skills in the real environments where your child needs them most.
What we work on
- Communication and language development
- Social skills and peer interaction
- Daily living and self-care skills
- Emotional regulation
- School readiness
- Following multi-step directions
- Building independence in daily routines

What Farmington families say
"We'd been told ABA wasn't available in Farmington. Epic Minds proved that wrong. Having services right here, at our home, changed what was possible for our son."
"The Medicaid paperwork was overwhelming. We had no idea how to navigate it. Epic Minds handled everything and told us when we could start. That was it."
"Our daughter used to refuse school most mornings. That's not our life anymore. Her team figured out what was driving it and worked on it systematically until it changed."
Places to go in Farmington with your child

Berg Park
