What Draper Families Say About Aviation ABA
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.
ABA Therapy Built Around Draper Families
Draper is a community that takes pride in showing up for its families, and your child deserves that same kind of care close to home. Aviation ABA provides applied behavior analysis therapy for children with autism throughout Draper, whether you live near Draper City Park, up in Hidden Valley, or across the South Mountain and Traverse Ridge neighborhoods.
Draper sits in a slightly unusual spot, straddling both Salt Lake County and Utah County. That means families here fall under two different school districts, Canyons School District on the Salt Lake County side and Alpine School District on the Utah County side. We understand that landscape, we coordinate with both, and we tailor support to where your child actually learns and lives.
Most of our Draper care happens right in your home, where your child is most comfortable and where new skills take root in everyday routines. There is no long waitlist to begin. When you reach out, you reach a person, and we move quickly to get your child started.
ABA Therapy Services for Draper Families
Every child is different, so we offer several ways to bring ABA support into your child's life in Draper. Most services are delivered right here in the community, and our Salt Lake City center is always open to Draper families who want a structured clinic option.
In-Home ABA Therapy
Our most popular option for Draper families. A trained Registered Behavior Technician works one on one with your child inside your home, building communication, social, and daily living skills within the routines your child already knows. It is ABA that fits into real life in Draper, from morning routines to homework to winding down at night.
Early Intervention
For Draper's youngest learners, usually between ages 2 and 6, early intervention puts skilled support in place during the years it matters most. The research is clear that starting early gives children the strongest foundation, and we help Draper families move quickly from diagnosis to support.
After-School ABA Therapy
The hours after school can be some of the hardest of the day. Our after-school support helps Draper children carry the skills they are building into homework time, sibling play, and evening routines, with sessions scheduled around your family's day.
Parent Training
You are your child's most important guide. Our parent training gives Draper parents practical, everyday strategies to reinforce progress at home, so the wins from therapy keep going long after a session ends. Available in your home or remotely.
School and Daycare-Based ABA
For children in privately funded preschools, daycares, and private schools in and around Draper, we can sometimes bring ABA support into the classroom. Most Utah public schools do not allow outside ABA providers, so this option depends on your child's specific school. Tell us where your child attends and we will look into what is possible.
Center-Based ABA in Salt Lake City
Prefer a structured clinic setting? Our Salt Lake City center is roughly twenty minutes up I-15 from Draper. It is purpose-built for focused learning and real peer interaction, and Draper families are warmly welcome. Tours are available by appointment.
Our Salt Lake City Center, Close to Draper
While most of our Draper care comes to you, some children do their best learning in a structured, distraction-controlled space designed just for therapy. That is exactly what our Salt Lake City center offers, and it is an easy drive from Draper.
Located at 1776 S W Temple St, the center sits a straightforward trip up I-15, roughly twenty minutes from most Draper neighborhoods. Inside, your child gets dedicated therapy rooms, a calm and predictable environment, and something a home setting cannot fully replicate: guided social interaction with peers. For many children, that mix of structure and real-world practice is where some of the biggest breakthroughs happen.
Center-based sessions are available for children from about age 2 through early adolescence. Parking is on site, and clinic tours are always welcome by appointment. If you are unsure whether in-home or center-based care is the better fit for your child, we are happy to talk it through with you honestly.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions About ABA Therapy
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.
The cost of ABA therapy in Utah depends on your child's treatment plan and the hours recommended, but for most Draper families the real question is coverage, not sticker price. Utah law requires most insurers to cover ABA therapy for children with an autism diagnosis, so many families pay only a copay or coinsurance. Before anything begins, we verify your specific benefits and explain your expected out-of-pocket cost in plain language, at no charge.
In most cases, yes. Utah state law requires most insurance plans to cover ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. We work with Medicaid, Molina, Regence BlueCross BlueShield, SelectHealth, PEHP, CHAMPVA, Health Choice, University of Utah Health Plans, and more. If you are unsure about your plan, we will verify your coverage before you commit to anything.
Yes, and it is the option most Draper families choose. A Registered Behavior Technician comes to your home and works one on one with your child in the place where they feel most comfortable, building skills that carry straight into daily routines. In-home ABA is available across all of Draper, from SunCrest to Hidden Valley to the neighborhoods near Corner Canyon.
Our center is in Salt Lake City at 1776 S W Temple St, roughly a twenty minute drive up I-15 from Draper. It offers a structured, distraction-controlled setting with guided peer interaction, which suits some children well. Many Draper families 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 depends on the school. Most Utah public schools, including those in the Canyons and Alpine districts that serve Draper, do not allow outside ABA providers in the classroom. School-based and daycare-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.
No. We do not place Draper families 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.
ABA can help children at many ages, but 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, we work with children and teens from about age 2 through 21, and it is rarely too late to make meaningful progress.
It varies. After an initial assessment, your BCBA recommends a number of weekly hours based on your child's needs and goals, ranging from a focused handful of hours to a fuller schedule. We build the plan around your child and your family's life in Draper, not a one-size-fits-all formula, and we adjust it as your child grows.
