    Absolutely exceptional ABA company. I personally know the owner, and I can genuinely say that the level of care and personal attention he puts into this company is incredible. He is hands on with every aspect of the business, from the patients and families to the staff and day to day operations. Nothing is treated like “just another case.” You can tell this company was built around truly caring about the children and families they serve, and making sure each patient receives the attention, therapy, and support they deserve. If you are looking for an ABA provider that combines professionalism, quality care, and an owner who is personally invested from top to bottom, I cannot recommend Aviation ABA Therapy Center enough.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Parent Training

    Out-of-pocket costs depend on your specific insurance policy and deductible. Because most commercial plans and Medicaid cover parent training under autism mandates, your financial responsibility is typically limited to standard copays.

    Many insurance plans require caregiver participation as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to ensure skills learned in clinical settings successfully generalize into your home and community environments.

    Sessions typically occur bi-weekly or monthly, depending on your child’s specific treatment plan and the customized goals established during your initial family intake and clinical assessment.

    We work hard to maintain short waitlists so families can receive guidance quickly. Contact our admissions team today to get current availability updates for our Salt Lake City location.

    Yes, we strongly encourage all primary caregivers and family members living in the household to participate so everyone implements consistent strategies and household rules.

    All parent education programs are designed and led by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who specialize in behavioral coaching and family support strategies.
