Read what families are saying about Aviation ABA Therapy in Utah. Our ABA clinic is trusted by parents for compassionate, individualized ABA therapy that supports real progress for children with autism.
Sandy stretches from the valley floor all the way up into the Wasatch foothills, and its families are as varied as its neighborhoods. Aviation ABA provides applied behavior analysis therapy for children with autism across all of it, whether you are near the shops along 9400 South, up in Pepperwood, or over toward Willow Creek.
Nearly all of Sandy sits within a single school district, Canyons, which keeps the local picture a little more straightforward than in some neighboring cities. We know the district well, we understand how ABA fits alongside a child’s school day, and we shape our support around where your child learns, plays, and needs the most help.
The heart of what we do in Sandy happens inside your home, where your child already feels safe and where new skills have the best chance of taking hold. There is no long waitlist standing in the way. When you call, a real person picks up, and we move quickly to get your child started.
No two children need exactly the same thing, so we offer a few different ways to bring ABA into your child's life in Sandy. Most of it happens right here in the community, and our Salt Lake City center is always open to families in Sandy who want a clinic option.
The option most families in Sandy choose. A Registered Behavior Technician works one on one with your child right in the living room or at the kitchen table, turning everyday Sandy routines into chances to build communication, social, and daily living skills. It is therapy that bends around your family's real life, not the other way around.
For the youngest children in Sandy, usually ages 2 to 6, early intervention gets skilled support in place during the window when it makes the biggest difference. We help families in Sandy move from a new diagnosis to real help without losing precious time.
School days are long, and the late afternoon can unravel fast. Our after-school ABA helps kids in Sandy carry their progress into homework, playtime with siblings, and the evening wind-down, on a schedule that works around your family.
The people your child spends the most time with matter most of all. We coach parents in Sandy through simple, practical strategies that keep progress going between sessions, in your home or over video.
For kids at privately funded preschools, daycares, and private schools around Sandy, we can sometimes provide ABA right in the classroom. Public schools in Utah generally do not allow outside providers, so it comes down to your child's specific school. Let us know where they go and we will look into it.
Want a more structured setting? Our Salt Lake City center is about fifteen minutes up I-15 from Sandy, built for focused learning and real time with peers. Families here are always welcome, and you can book a tour whenever you like.
While most of our ABA therapy in Sandy is provided in the comfort of your home, some children thrive in a structured, distraction-free environment designed specifically for learning. Our Salt Lake City center offers that setting and is conveniently located just a short drive from Sandy.
Located at 1776 S W Temple St, our center is easily accessible via I-15, making it a convenient option for Sandy families. Inside, your child will receive one-on-one therapy in dedicated treatment rooms while also having opportunities to build social, communication, and play skills alongside peers. For many children, combining in-home ABA therapy with center-based sessions creates a well-rounded approach that supports meaningful progress.
Center-based ABA therapy is available for children from approximately age 2 through early adolescence. Free parking is available on-site, and we welcome families to schedule a tour before getting started. If you’re unsure whether in-home or center-based ABA therapy is the best fit for your child, our BCBA-led team is happy to discuss your options and recommend the approach that best meets your family’s needs.
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:
We take the time to understand your child's strengths, challenges, and personality because meaningful progress starts with a relationship built on trust.
Our BCBAs don't use one-size-fits-all programs. They learn your child's story and create a treatment plan around your family's goals.
When you've decided to get your child support, the last thing you need is a long waitlist. We move efficiently, without unnecessary delays, so your child can begin as soon as possible.
We answer the phone, remember your child's name, and treat every conversation with care. You'll always have a team that's ready to listen and support your family.
Children learn best through exploration, imagination, and the activities they enjoy. We build therapy around your child's natural interests, making learning engaging and meaningful.
Our experienced team is committed to providing compassionate, high-quality ABA therapy that helps children make meaningful progress while supporting families every step of the way.
Aviation ABA works with families all across Sandy and the communities that surround it, from the mountain benches down to the valley floor.
We support families throughout Sandy, including Pepperwood, Bell Canyon, Alta View, Willow Creek, White City, Sandy Heights, Granite, Crescent, and the neighborhoods along the 9000 South and State Street corridors.
We also serve nearby families in Draper, Midvale, Cottonwood Heights, Holladay, South Jordan, and West Jordan.
Aviation ABA works with most major insurance plans to make ABA therapy accessible to families in Sandy. We accept SelectHealth, Regence BlueCross BlueShield, Utah Medicaid, and many other providers serving the Utah market. For families without insurance coverage, we offer competitive private pay rates and flexible payment plans.
Getting started with ABA therapy at Aviation ABA is straightforward, and we work to make it as stress-free as possible for families in Sandy.
A friendly member of our intake team reaches out to answer your questions and walk you through the process. We gather a few details and request documents like your child's autism diagnosis, insurance card, and any referral.
We verify your coverage and handle the authorization process, keeping you updated so you always know what is happening.
One of our BCBAs meets with you and your child to understand their needs and build a personalized treatment plan.
Once the plan is approved, we schedule your child's sessions, in your Sandy home or at our City center, and the journey begins.
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.
For most families in Sandy the real question is not the sticker price, it is coverage. Utah law requires most insurers to cover ABA therapy for children with an autism diagnosis, so many families end up paying only a copay or coinsurance. What you actually pay depends on your specific plan and your deductible. Before anything starts, we verify your benefits and explain your expected out-of-pocket cost in plain language, at no charge.
In most cases, yes. Utah law requires most state-regulated plans to cover ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism, and since 2020 those plans cannot cap the number of therapy hours or set an age limit. Utah Medicaid also covers ABA for children under 21. We verify your plan for you and tell you exactly where you stand before your child begins.
Yes, and it is the option most families in Sandy choose. A Registered Behavior Technician comes to your home and works one on one with your child in the place they feel most comfortable, building skills that carry straight into daily routines. In-home ABA is available across all of Sandy, from the East Bench neighborhoods near Bell Canyon to White City and the areas along State Street.
Our center is in Salt Lake City at 1776 S W Temple St, about fifteen minutes north on I-15 from Sandy. It offers a structured, distraction-controlled setting with real peer interaction, which suits some children well. Plenty of families in Sandy combine center visits with in-home sessions. Tours are available by appointment, and we are glad to help you decide which setting fits your child.
It varies from child to child. After an initial assessment, your BCBA recommends a number of weekly hours based on your child's needs and goals, anywhere from a focused few hours to a fuller schedule. We build the plan around your child and your family's life in Sandy, and we adjust it as your child grows.
Earlier is generally better. Research shows that early intervention, often between ages 2 and 6, gives children the strongest foundation for communication, social, and daily living skills. That said, ABA helps children and teens at many ages, and we work with kids from about age 2 through 21. It is rarely too late to make meaningful progress.
No. We do not put families in Sandy on a long waitlist. There are a few setup steps, like verifying insurance and completing an initial assessment with a BCBA, but we move through them quickly so your child can begin without the long delays that are common elsewhere.
It depends on the school. Most Utah public schools, including those in the Canyons district that serves Sandy, do not allow outside ABA providers in the classroom. School-based support is most often possible in privately funded preschools, daycares, and private schools. Tell us where your child attends and we will look into what is realistic.
