What Makes Aviation ABA Different
If you've spent any time navigating the world of autism services in Utah, you know the frustration: long waitlists, providers who feel distant, programs that treat your child like a case number. We built Aviation ABA because families in Utah deserve better than that. Here's what makes us different:
Your Child Is Part of a Family Here
From the very first session, our therapists invest in genuinely getting to know your child, their sense of humor, what lights them up, what they find hard. Real progress starts with real trust, and we work every day to earn it. Your child will look forward to coming in.
Every Plan Is Built from Scratch
Our BCBAs don't pull programs off a shelf. They sit down, learn your child's story, and build a treatment plan from the ground up around your family's goals. Every session is tracked. Every milestone is measured. And every plan evolves as your child grows.
You Won't Wait Months to Get Started
When you've made the decision to get your child help, the last thing you need is to sit on a waitlist for months. We work hard to move thoughtfully and without unnecessary delay, so your child can start making progress when it matters most.
You Can Always Reach Us
We're the kind of team that answers the phone, remembers your child's name, and treats every conversation like it matters, because it does. No runaround, no voicemail black holes. Just real people who care about your family.
Learning Happens Best Through Play
Children don't grow by following instructions in a chair. They grow by exploring, imagining, and doing things they love. That's why we build therapy around your child's natural curiosity. When a child is genuinely having fun, they're also learning their most important skills. That's the environment we create every single day.
A Local Utah Team That Knows Your Community
We're not a national chain trying to run a clinic in Utah from a corporate office somewhere else. We are Utah. Our therapists live in the same neighborhoods, drive the same roads, and are invested in the same communities as your family. That connection matters.
Insurances We Accept
Aviation ABA accepts most major insurance providers in Utah, including Medicaid, Molina Healthcare, Regence BlueCross BlueShield, CHAMPVA, PEHP, Health Choice, University of Utah Health Plans, and more. Navigating insurance for ABA therapy can feel overwhelming. We're here to make it simple, we'll help you understand your benefits before your child's first session.
Our Services
We know every family looks different. That's why Aviation ABA offers flexible service options so your child gets the right support in the right setting, whatever works best for your family.
In-Home Therapy
Our therapists come to your home and work with your child in the environment they know best, building skills that transfer naturally into everyday family life. In-home services are especially valuable for younger children and for working on daily living routines like mealtimes, bedtime, and household transitions.
Clinic-Based Therapy
Our warm, welcoming ABA Therapy clinic in Salt Lake City is designed to feel like a second home. Bright, calming, and filled with the kind of activities kids actually enjoy, it's a space where children feel comfortable from day one. Clinic-based therapy provides the structure, resources, and peer interaction opportunities that help children build social and communication skills in a consistent environment.📍 Located at 1776 S West Temple St, Salt Lake City, UT 84115
School & Daycare
Your child spends a huge portion of their day at school. We partner directly with teachers, aides, and school staff to make sure your child has the support they need in the classroom. We help reduce barriers to learning, build social skills with peers, and ensure the strategies that work in therapy carry over into the school setting.
Early Intervention
The earlier ABA therapy begins, the greater the impact. Our early intervention program is designed for children as young as 18 months and focuses on the foundational skills like communication, play, social interaction, and sensory regulation, that set kids up for a lifetime of growth. If you're noticing early signs of autism in your child, don't wait. Reach out today.
After-School Sessions
After-school therapy lets your child receive consistent, high-quality ABA support without disrupting your family's daily routine. Sessions are scheduled around school hours so there's no need to miss class or rearrange your entire day.
Parent Training
Our parent training program teaches practical, evidence-based strategies you can use every day at home, not just during therapy hours. We'll walk you through what we're working on, why, and how you can reinforce progress between sessions. Stronger parent involvement means faster, more lasting results for your child.
What Is ABA Therapy, and How Can It Help My Child?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is the most widely researched and clinically supported approach for helping children with autism build meaningful, lasting skills. At Aviation ABA, it is more than a therapy method. We use positive reinforcement and individualized strategies to help children build greater independence.
Every treatment plan is created by our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) around your child’s unique strengths, goals, and personality. Through personalized, play-based therapy, we help children make progress that carries over into everyday life at home, school, and in the community. ABA therapy can help improve:
- Communication and language skills
- Social interaction and friendships
- Daily living and self-care routines
- Emotional regulation and coping skills
- School readiness and learning skills
- Challenging behaviors that impact learning
Whether your child was recently diagnosed or has received services before, our team is here to help them continue growing and reaching their potential.

FAQs
We know starting ABA therapy comes with a lot of questions. Here are answers to help you understand our process, services, and how we support your child and family.
ABA therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis) is an evidence-based approach to helping children with autism build communication, social, daily living, and behavioral skills. It's recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and is one of the most thoroughly researched therapies for autism spectrum disorder. If your child has received an autism diagnosis, or you're concerned about their development, ABA therapy is worth exploring. We offer free consultations to help you figure out if it's the right fit.
If your child has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), your pediatrician or developmental specialist may recommend ABA therapy. Common signs that a child may benefit include delayed speech or communication, difficulty with social interactions, repetitive behaviors, challenges with daily routines, or behaviors that are interfering with learning and family life. You don't need a diagnosis to reach out, we can help guide you through the evaluation process.
We work with children as young as 18 months. Early intervention produces the most significant outcomes, so if you have concerns about your child's development, we encourage you to reach out sooner rather than later. That said, ABA therapy is beneficial at any age, we serve children and adolescents across a wide range of developmental levels.
Both are effective, the right setting depends on your child's needs and your family's circumstances. Clinic-based therapy provides a structured, resource-rich environment with more opportunities for peer interaction. In-home therapy allows skills to be practiced directly in the environment where your child lives, making it easier to generalize learning to daily routines. Many families use a combination of both
Yes, and we genuinely mean that. Parent involvement isn't a checkbox at Aviation ABA; it's central to everything we do. You'll receive regular updates, participate in parent training sessions, and be part of every major decision about your child's program. The more we work together, the better the outcomes for your child.
The right number of hours is different for every child and depends on their age, diagnosis, current skill levels, and goals. After your child's initial assessment, your BCBA will recommend an intensity that fits their needs. Typical recommendations range from 10 to 40 hours per week, though we'll always work with your family's schedule and your child's capacity.
Absolutely. In addition to our Salt Lake City clinic, we provide in-home ABA therapy throughout Salt Lake County, Utah County, Davis County, Weber County, Washington County, and Tooele County. Our therapists come to your home and work with your child in a familiar, comfortable environment.
We're a locally rooted Utah team that has chosen to stay small enough to give every family real, personal attention. You'll know your BCBA by name. Your child's therapist will know your child's favorite dinosaur. We're responsive, transparent, and genuinely invested in your family, not just your child's file. We also move quickly to get started, because we know that waiting when your child needs help is one of the hardest things a parent can go through.
Our clinic is in Salt Lake City, and we provide in-home and school-based ABA therapy throughout Salt Lake County, Utah County, Davis County, Weber County, Washington County, and Tooele County, including cities like Provo, Orem, Lehi, Layton, Ogden, St. George, Sandy, Draper, and many more.
