Family Support Services Program and Colorado Respite Coalition vouchers
Two routes, and the first has a detail worth knowing: the Family Support Services Program, run through Community Centered Boards, helps cover costs of caring for a disabled child including respite, and has NO income limit. Separately, the Colorado Respite Coalition issues family vouchers toward respite. Several Colorado waivers also fund respite, including the Children's Extensive Support waiver.
No income limit on FSSP is unusual — apply even if you assume you earn too much. Your Community Centered Board is the door.

Before you pay out of pocket, check what your state's Medicaid waiver funds — respite is covered by nearly every state waiver, and many families never think to ask.
Most states run one
Your state's Lifespan Respite Care Program
Lifespan Respite Care Programs are federally seeded, state-run programs that help families of any age and any disability find and pay for respite — often including vouchers or subsidies that do not depend on having a Medicaid waiver. Most states have one, they are chronically under-used, and they are rarely mentioned by anyone else in the system.

200+ locations nationwide
ACEing Autism
Weekly Saturday tennis clinics built specifically for autistic children aged 5 to 18, run by volunteers at more than 200 locations across the country, serving over 7,000 players. Sessions run in six-week blocks of an hour. This is the clearest example of the interest-based model working: the sport supplies the structure, the turn-taking and the reason to be there, so the social side happens sideways rather than being the task.

Week-long camps hosted nationwide
iCan Shine (iCan Bike)
Teaches people with disabilities to ride a conventional two-wheeled bicycle, using adapted roller bikes over a week-long camp that gradually transfers balance to the rider. Learning to ride a bike is a milestone a lot of autistic children are quietly written off for, and this is the program that most reliably delivers it. Camps are hosted by local organizations across the country, so availability is by host town rather than by chapter.

Can autism therapy happen at home in Weld County?
3 providers serving Weld County deliver services in the family's home. Many children do better in a familiar setting than in an unfamiliar clinic room, and in-home visits remove the travel burden.
Does Medicaid pay for autism services in Colorado?
Colorado families can apply to the Children's Extensive Support (CES) for children; HCBS-DD and Supported Living Services for adults, a Medicaid waiver that can fund respite, therapies and in-home support. The typical wait is No state waitlist for CES; around 7 years for the adult DD waiver, and your place is usually set by the date you apply — so applying early matters even if you are unsure what services you need. Many waivers also disregard parental income, so families who don't qualify for regular Medicaid often still qualify here.

If none of the Weld County providers is the right fit, these Colorado counties currently have the most listed providers: Denver County (22), Arapahoe County (20), Adams County (19), Jefferson County (19).
