What Families Say About Aviation ABA
Families across Salt Lake City , Provo, and the surrounding Utah communities have trusted Aviation ABA with their children's growth. Here is what some of them have shared about their experience with our team.
ABA Therapy that Perfectly Aligns with School
Circle time, lunch with friends, group projects, recess, raising a hand to answer a question are the moments where school-based support matters most.
Most public schools in Utah don't allow outside ABA providers because of how school funding and insurance are structured. Many privately funded preschools, daycares, and private schools do allow outside support, and this is where we're most commonly able to help.
Availability depends on your child's specific school, and our team will confirm whether it's possible from the start. Our BCBAs stay in close contact with teachers and school staff, so the strategies used in the classroom match therapy at home or any other therapy your child receives.

What is School Based ABA Therapy?
School-based ABA therapy means a trained behavior technician works with your child inside their classroom, during circle time, transitions, lunch, and group activities. This helps skills practiced in therapy transfer directly into real school moments.
Conditions We Support
Our program is designed for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Every plan reflects your child's goals and classroom environment. With parent consent, your child’s BCBA can attend IEP meetings and serve as part of the IEP team, keeping school-based goals aligned with what’s already in place. School-based ABA is arranged individually for each family, so availability depends on your child’s specific school. Reach out and we’ll confirm what’s possible.
Skills We Focus On
- Following classroom routines and schedules independently
- Managing transitions between activities, subjects, and locations
- Building peer relationships: sharing, turn-taking, group play
- Communication in the classroom: raising a hand, asking for help, participating in discussions
- Reducing behaviors that interfere with learning
- Supporting goals connected to your child's IEP or 504 plan
Benefits of School Based ABA Therapy
Bringing ABA support into the classroom creates advantages that are hard to replicate anywhere else.
Support Where It's Needed Most
Classrooms are busy, social, and full of transitions, exactly the situations many children with autism find hardest. School-based therapy puts support directly into those moments.
A Bridge Between School and Home
Our team stays connected with teachers, school staff, and parents so strategies carry after school at home, and any other therapy your child receives.
Grounded in Science, Delivered With Heart
Everything we do is grounded in the science of applied behavior analysis, the most extensively researched and endorsed intervention for children with autism.
What Makes Aviation ABA Different
Long waitlists, distant providers, kids treated like case numbers. We built Aviation ABA because families in Salt Lake City deserve better.
Your Child Is Part of the Crew Here
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.
Every Plan, Built from Scratch
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.
You Won't Wait Months to Get Started
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.
You Can Always Reach Us
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.
Learning Happens Best Through Play
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.
A Local Salt Lake City Team That Knows Your Community
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.

Does Insurance Cover School-Based ABA in Utah?
Yes. Most major insurance providers in Utah cover ABA therapy for children with an autism diagnosis, including Medicaid. Coverage for ABA in a classroom setting specifically can vary by plan, so our team verifies your benefits and handles prior authorization before anything starts, so you know exactly what's covered.

FAQs
Reach out to our team and share your child's school situation. We'll confirm whether your child's specific school allows outside providers, since this varies by school, then handle insurance verification and coordinate directly with the school to get started.
Most public school districts in Utah don't allow outside ABA providers due to funding and insurance structures. We work primarily with privately funded preschools, daycares, and private schools across Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, Weber, Tooele, and Washington counties. Contact us to check your child's school.
Eligibility typically requires a confirmed autism diagnosis and documented need within your child's IEP. Our BCBA reviews your child's existing IEP or behavior plan and works directly with the school team to align ABA goals with what's already in place.
