The staff who come to our home are always respectful, friendly, and professional. They’ve helped us work through everyday routines and challenges in a way that actually fits into real life.

Long waitlists, distant providers, kids treated like case numbers. We built Aviation ABA because families in Salt Lake City deserve better.
From the first session, our therapists get to know your child: their humor, what lights them up, what feels hard. Real progress starts with real trust, and we earn it every day.
Our BCBAs learn your child's story and build a plan around your family's goals, tracking every session and adjusting as your child grows.
Months on a waitlist is the last thing you need in Salt Lake City. We move quickly so your child can start making progress when it matters most.
We answer the phone, remember your child's name, and treat every conversation like it matters. No runaround, no voicemail black holes, just real people who care.
Kids grow by exploring, imagining, and doing what they love. We build therapy around your child's natural curiosity, because a child having fun is a child learning their most important skills.
We are not a national chain running things from a corporate office elsewhere. Our therapists live in your neighborhoods, drive the same roads, and are invested in the same community as your family.
We accept 100+ major insurance plans in Utah, including Utah Medicaid, Regence BlueCross BlueShield, and PEHP. We verify your benefits before your child's first session, so you know exactly what is covered.
