Whether your child comes to our Salt Lake City clinic after school or one of our trained behavior technicians comes directly to your home, we turn the after-school window into meaningful progress rather than downtime.

What Families Say About Aviation ABA
Families across Salt Lake City 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.
After-School ABA Therapy Designed Around Your Child's Real Day
School is a huge part of your child's growth, and many children with autism genuinely thrive in the classroom. But the hours between the final bell and bedtime are a different story entirely. Transitions are hard. Routines get disrupted. Behaviors that are managed well at school often resurface at home when the structure drops away. After-school ABA therapy is designed specifically for this window, giving your child continued, focused support during the hours when they often need it most.
At Aviation ABA, after-school therapy is not a generic add-on to our existing programs. It is a purposeful, individualized service built around the reality that your child has already had a full school day and needs support that meets them where they are at 3 PM, not where they were at 8 AM. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts design after-school treatment plans that connect directly to what your child is working on at school, reinforcing the skills they are building in the classroom and extending that learning into real-world situations at home, in the community, and with peers.
Depending on your child's goals and your family's schedule, after-school ABA therapy can take place at our Salt Lake City clinic or in the comfort of your own home. Our in-home after-school service is available to families across all counties we serve in Utah, bringing expert, BCBA-supervised support directly to your door in the hours after school. Parents are always an active part of the process, not just bystanders, and our team works closely with you to make sure the transition from school to evening feels smoother and more supported over time.

What Is After-School ABA Therapy?
After-school ABA therapy is Applied Behavior Analysis therapy scheduled specifically during the hours after the school day ends, typically from mid-afternoon through early evening. It is designed for school-aged children and teens with autism who benefit from continued structured support during the transition from the classroom environment into the home and community. Rather than leaving that window unstructured, after-school ABA uses it purposefully to reinforce existing skills, build new ones, and address the behavioral and emotional challenges that often surface during this time of day.
Applied Behavior Analysis is the most extensively researched intervention available for children with autism, and its effectiveness is not limited to the early years or the school day. After-school ABA applies the same evidence-based principles of individualized goal setting, positive reinforcement, and data-driven progress monitoring to the specific challenges and opportunities that arise in the after-school window. Every session is supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and delivered by a trained Registered Behavior Technician who knows your child, their goals, and their individual learning style.
Conditions We Support
Our after-school ABA therapy program is designed specifically to support children and teens with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Every treatment plan is built around your child's individual profile, their school context, and your family's daily routine, because no two after-school programs at Aviation ABA look the same.
If you are wondering whether an after-school ABA program could make a real difference for your child, we would love to talk it through. Reach out and let us help you figure out whether clinic-based or in-home after-school support makes the most sense for your family.
Benefits of After-School ABA Therapy
The after-school hours are one of the most underserved windows in a child with autism's day. Here is what consistent, purposeful after-school ABA therapy can mean for your child and your family across Utah.
Keeps the Momentum Going
Skills built at school and in therapy do not have to stop at 3pm. After-school ABA therapy keeps your child actively working on their goals during the hours when unstructured time can otherwise undo the progress of the day. Consistency across the full day produces faster and more lasting results.
Smooths Out the Hardest Transition of the Day
The shift from a structured school environment to the home is often the most challenging transition of a child's day. After-school ABA therapy provides the consistent routine and support your child needs to navigate that transition more smoothly, which means calmer evenings for the whole family.
Therapy That Is Built Around Your Child
No two children at Aviation ABA follow the same therapy plan. Every after-school program starts with a thorough assessment by one of our BCBAs, who uses the results to build a treatment plan that reflects your child's unique strengths, goals, learning style, and what matters most to your family. As your child grows, the plan grows with them.
You Are Part of the Team
At Aviation ABA, parents are never on the outside looking in. We keep you closely involved through regular progress updates, parent meetings with your child's BCBA, and practical coaching on how to carry therapy strategies into your evening routines at home. When you feel confident and informed, your child moves forward faster.
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. Our BCBAs bring clinical expertise and evidence-based strategies to every after-school session while making sure the experience always feels warm, engaging, and genuinely child-centered.
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.
Where After-School Therapy Happens
After-school therapy at Aviation ABA happens in two places: our warm, purpose-built clinic in Salt Lake City, and directly in your home across Utah. Take a look at the clinic environment where many of our after-school sessions take place, a calm, structured, and genuinely welcoming space designed to help children decompress and refocus after a full school day. For families who prefer in-home sessions, your child gets that same quality of support in the environment they know best.
After-School ABA Therapy Across Utah
Aviation ABA's after-school program is available in two ways depending on where your family is located. Clinic-based after-school sessions take place at our Salt Lake City center at 1776 S W Temple St. In-home after-school ABA therapy is available to families across all counties we serve throughout Utah, with our team coming directly to your door in the hours after school. We currently provide after-school ABA therapy to families in the following communities:
Salt Lake County
Washington County
Tooele County

Frequently Asked Questions About After-School ABA Therapy in Utah
Families exploring after-school ABA therapy often have questions specific to this service. Here are the ones we hear most often from families across Utah.
Our after-school ABA therapy program serves school-aged children and teens from approximately kindergarten age, around 4 to 5 years old, through age 18. Whether your child is just starting school and still adjusting to the demands of a full classroom day, or is an older teen building independence and preparing for adulthood, we build every after-school program around where they are right now and what they need to move forward.
Both options are available. After-school ABA therapy can take place at our Salt Lake City clinic, which is ideal for families in the Salt Lake area who want a structured, distraction-reduced environment for their child after school. Alternatively, our in-home after-school service sends a trained, BCBA-supervised RBT directly to your home, which works well for families across all the Utah counties we serve and for children who benefit from practicing skills within their own familiar environment. Your child's BCBA will help you figure out which setting makes the most clinical and practical sense.
This is one of the things that makes after-school ABA therapy especially effective. Our BCBAs coordinate with your child's school team where possible to understand what skills your child is working on during the school day, and after-school sessions are designed to reinforce and extend that work in real-world settings at home and in the community. Rather than treating school and after-school therapy as separate things, we try to make them part of one consistent, connected approach to your child's development.
Yes. Most major insurance plans cover ABA therapy for children with an autism diagnosis regardless of the time of day it is delivered, and Utah state law supports access to these services. After-school scheduling does not affect your eligibility for coverage. Our team handles all insurance verification and prior authorization on your behalf and will confirm your benefits clearly before your child's first session.
Absolutely. Many children receive after-school ABA therapy as part of a broader program that also includes clinic-based, in-home, or school-based services. After-school therapy is designed to complement rather than replace other services, and our BCBAs will help you figure out the right combination based on your child's goals, schedule, and insurance coverage.
No. Aviation ABA does not operate a long waitlist, and that includes our after-school program. We understand how important consistent support is for children with autism and how frustrating it is to have to wait for help that should already be available. Once your child has been assessed and insurance has been verified, we work to begin sessions as quickly as possible. Reach out today and we will get the process started.
