Finding the right support for a child with behavioral, emotional, or developmental challenges can feel overwhelming. Between school expectations, family responsibilities, and the need for specialized care, many parents and caregivers worry they’re not doing enough — or don’t know where to turn.
That’s where Day Treatment Programs step in.
At ADWO Behavioral Services, our Day Treatment Program in Colorado Springs is designed to bridge the gap between traditional schooling and intensive behavioral support. We provide structured, evidence-based interventions in a safe, therapeutic environment where children can learn, grow, and succeed.
In this blog, we break down what makes day treatment so effective — and why more Colorado families, schools, and caseworkers are choosing ADWO to support the children in their care.
A Day Treatment Program is a structured therapeutic program that combines academic support, behavioral interventions, and skill-building activities in a full-day setting. It is ideal for children who need more support than outpatient therapy but do not require residential care.

Many of our referrals come from parents, school districts, caseworkers, and mental health professionals seeking a structured, therapeutic solution that promotes lasting change.
Not all day treatment programs are the same. At ADWO Behavioral Services, we focus on whole-child success, not just behavior management.
Here’s what sets our program apart:
Our therapists and behavioral specialists use Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)–informed strategies, trauma-informed care, and individualized interventions tailored to each child’s needs.
We collaborate with schools, districts, and caregivers to ensure your child continues progressing academically — not falling behind.
Children thrive when they feel understood and supported. Our spaces are intentionally designed to be calming, predictable, and growth-focused.
We don’t just work with children — we partner with parents. Our team provides coaching, communication tools, and progress updates so families feel empowered every step of the way.
Families tell us all the time: ADWO feels different. We invest in your child’s future like they are our own.
A successful day-treatment experience includes both structure and flexibility. While every child’s treatment plan is personalized, a typical day may include:
Every minute is intentional — building skills that empower long-term success at home, at school, and in the community.
Families often notice improvements within weeks, including:
Our goal is always the same: help each child move toward a more independent, stable, and successful future.
