| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | OUR PURPOSE IS TO TRANSFORM THE LIVES OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM. PARTNERING WITH FAMILIES, WE CREATE LIFE-LONG RELATIONSHIPS THROUGH THOUGHTFUL, INNOVATIVE, EMPIRICALLY BASED LEARNING TREATMENT PROGRAMS. HELPING THEM DISCOVER THE WORLD AND THE WORLD DISCOVER THEM. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS TO TEACH OUR CLIENTS ESSENTIAL AND LIFE CHANGING ADAPTIVE SKILLS, AND AMELIORATE MALADAPTIVE BEHAVIOR. THE SUPERVISING PERSONNEL FOR ABA-BASED PROGRAMS ARE BOARD CERTIFIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSTS (BCBAS) WHO, IN ADDITION TO HOLDING A GRADUATE DEGREE, COMPLETING A SERIES OF COURSEWORK IN ABA, AND REQUIRED HOURS OF SUPERVISION, ARE CREDENTIALED BY THE BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS CERTIFICATION BOARD (WWW.BACB.COM). TO MAINTAIN CERTIFICATION, EACH ANALYST MUST MAINTAIN CONTINUING EDUCATION AT LEAST ANNUALLY. TO ENHANCE SERVICE DELIVERY, OUR ORGANIZATION INCLUDES SPEECH AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY, MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL'S NEEDS. OUR PROGRAMS ARE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE. SINCE WE BASE OUR SERVICES ON EMPIRICALLY DRIVEN DATA AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES, OUR CLIENTS ALWAYS MAKE PROGRESS. OUR STAFF ARE HIGHLY TRAINED, DRIVEN, AND ENDLESSLY PASSIONATE ABOUT THE INDIVIDUALS WITH WHOM THEY WORK. THE PROGRESS OF OUR CLIENTS, AND OVERALL IMPROVEMENT IN THE LIVES OF THE CLIENT AND FAMILY UNIT, IS OUR ULTIMATE FOCUS. WE PROVIDE ONGOING SUPERVISION AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO OUR STAFF, SO THEY ARE VERY INVESTED IN CLIENT'S PROGRESS AND IN THE EXPANDING PROFESSIONAL CULTURE OF FIREFLY AUTISM. WE HAVE NUMEROUS STAFF WHO HAVE COME TO US TO LEARN THE ART OF EFFECTIVE AND ETHICAL BEHAVIORAL TREATMENT. WE HAVE BEEN PROUD TO HAVE STAFF BECOME BOARD CERTIFIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSTS THROUGH OUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND ALL OF OUR THERAPISTS ARE REGISTERED BEHAVIOR TECHNICIANS, WHICH ARE ALSO ARE CREDENTIALED BY THE BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS CERTIFICATION BOARD. FIREFLY AUTISM IS COLORADO'S LEADING TREATMENT CENTER FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES LIVING WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER (ASD). SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2003, FIREFLY HAS GROWN TO BECOME ONE OF THE NATION'S MOST RESPECTED FACILITIES OF ITS KIND, OFFERING A WIDE VARIETY OF EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAMS AND SERVICES. PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, AND EVEN FROM OTHER COUNTRIES, COME TO US TO LEARN HOW WE DO WHAT WE DO AND PARENTS STRONGLY ADVOCATE TO HAVE THEIR CHILD RECEIVE OUR SERVICES BECAUSE OF THE QUALITY OF OUR SERVICES. WE HAVE OVER 100 CHILDREN WAITING TO RECEIVE OUR SERVICES. THIS IS A TESTAMENT TO THE REPUTATION OF EFFECTIVE SERVICES AND THE HIGH QUALITY OF OUR PROGRAMS. OUR DREAM IS BIG. OUR WORK IS IMPORTANT. THE REWARD IS PRICELESS |

| FORM 990, PART X | THE WRITE-OFF IN 2017 OF BAD DEBT IN THE AMOUNT OF 505,463 WAS LARGELY DUE TO A BREAKDOWN IN PROCEDURES SURROUNDING THE BILLING PROCESS USED INTERNALLY FOR THE PAST 16 YEARS AT FIREFLY. THE DELAY IN BILLING PROPERLY TO OUR INSURANCE AGENCIES AND MEDICAID CREATED A PAST TIME ALLOWANCE FOR COLLECTIONS ON BILLED INVOICES. SINCE THEN, FIREFLY HAS MADE MULTIPLE CHANGES AND ESTABLISHED CONTROLS TO ENSURE THAT LACK OF COLLECTIONS FOR SERVICES RENDERED WILL NO LONGER BE AN ISSUE. WE MOVED ALL OF OUR SOFTWARE USED INTERNALLY TO A NEW COMPREHENSIVE SOFTWARE PACKAGE THAT REQUIRED SIGNIFICANT TRAINING AND IMPLEMENTATION. WE CHANGED OUR MODEL OF COLLECTIONS BY DISBANDING OUR INTERNAL BILLING DEPARTMENT AND OUTSOURCING OUR BILLING TO A COMPANY THAT SPECIALIZES IN ABA INSURANCE BILLING FOR OUR REALM OF SERVICES. AT THE TIME WE CONVERTED, WE WERE COLLECTING ON AVERAGE 70% OF EVERY 1 BILLED; TODAY WE ARE CLOSER TO THE RANGE OF 90% AND BY FISCAL YEAR END SHOULD BE NEAR A 95% COLLECTION RATE. NOT ONLY DID OUTSOURCING OUR BILLING IMPROVE OUR COLLECTION PERCENTAGES, BUT IT ALSO CLOSED ALL LOOP HOLES TO ENSURE WE ARE PROPERLY BILLING WITH LITTLE ROOM FOR ERROR. WE MOVED FROM OVER 60% OF OUR A/R IN THE 120 DAY PLUS CATEGORY TO NOW LESS THAN 5%, WITH THE MAJORITY OF A/R IN THE 1-30 AND 30-60 DAY CATEGORIES. WE ALSO DISBANDED THE INTERNAL FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND PARTNERED WITH RUBINBROWN FOR OUTSOURCED ACCOUNTING SERVICES. SINCE THIS MOVE WE NOW HAVE AN ACCURATE PICTURE OF REAL TIME CASH FLOW, WE'VE SEEN A SIGNIFICANT UPSWING NOT ONLY IN COLLECTIONS BUT IN STEADY, RELIABLE CASH FLOW, AND NOW HAVE FULL TRANSPARENCY IN OUR FINANCES. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE OF OUR BOARD, IN CLOSE PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR NEW FINANCE DEPARTMENT PARTNERS (IN PLACE ABOUT 5 MONTHS), HAVE CREATED DASHBOARDS FOR CASH FLOW AND OVERALL FINANCES, WHICH PROVIDE US WITH A REAL TIME LOOK AT OUR A/R AND A/P, WHICH DIRECTLY IMPACTS OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE. THIS HAS BEEN A SIGNIFICANT TRANSITION, BUT ONCE WE IDENTIFIED THE ISSUES, WE MOVED SWIFTLY TO ADDRESS THEM, REMOVED BARRIERS, AND IMPLEMENTED NEW PROCESSES TO ENSURE CONSISTENT FINANCIAL HEALTH MOVING FORWARD AND HAVE SEEN A QUICK TURN-AROUND IN OUR BOTTOM LINE. |
