Colorado or Federal accomodations for tenants with mental health issues?

Hey folks! Hope y'all are well.

I'm getting taken to small claims court (June 20,2024) by a tenant who is autistic and says I didn't "accommodate" her needs. She is highly noise sensitive and constantly complained that I wasn't holding her neighbors to the "quiet use" portion of the lease. Of course, we were monitoring the situations and asked neighbors to quiet down on occasions, but because they still occasionally made noise (regular household noise, not massive, all-night parties), and I didn't evict, then I'm not accommodating her needs.

Does anyone know of any special accommodations that need to be made for mental health reasons (as opposed to handicapped access, etc) that I need to know about before going to court? I have not been able to find anything to that effect in my review of Colorado's landlord/tenant law.

TIA!!
