WHO ARE WE?
Wild Sun Behavioral Services is a rapidly expanding Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) organization that provides services in and around Erie, CO.

Our Early Child Development Center (ECDC) is another asset that sets us apart from other ABA organizations. Wild Sun’s ECDC provides an inclusive environment for neurodiverse children ages 3-6 with a tiered system of behavioral support to set all individuals up for success. The unified approach we embrace provides for mutually beneficial education and social experiences. Our research-based and empirically driven approach utilizes behavioral principles for all children to support pro-social, play, adaptive, and academic skills.
Our students have a step up on other learners because they are exposed to:
Peer modeling/collaboration
Diverse individuals
Social-emotional growth opportunities
Empathy/compassion/acceptance/adaptability
Problem-solving
Navigating human dynamics
Communication strategies
