School and Daycare-Based ABA
For children at privately funded preschools, daycares, and private schools around American Fork, we can sometimes bring ABA into the classroom. Most Utah public schools do not allow outside providers, so it depends on the specific school. Tell us where your child goes and we will look into it.

Frequently Asked Questions About ABA Therapy in American Fork
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 American Fork the real question is coverage, not the sticker price. 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 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 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 American Fork choose. A Registered Behavior Technician comes to your home and works one on one with your child where they feel most comfortable, building skills that carry straight into daily routines. In-home ABA is available across the whole city, from the historic Main Street area to the newer neighborhoods near The Meadows.
Our center is in Salt Lake City at 1776 S W Temple St, about forty minutes north of American Fork on I-15. It offers a structured, distraction-controlled setting with real peer interaction, which is a good fit for some children. Many families combine center visits with in-home sessions. Tours are available by appointment, and we are happy 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 American Fork, and we adjust it as your child grows.
Earlier is generally better. Research shows that starting ABA therapy during early childhood, often between ages 2 and 6, can provide the strongest foundation for developing communication, social, and daily living skills. This period is especially important for early intervention and prevention strategies that help reduce challenging behaviors and build essential lifelong skills. However, children and teens can benefit from ABA at many different ages. We work with individuals from about age 2 through 21, and it is never too late to make meaningful progress with the right support.
No. We do not put families in American Fork 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 Alpine School District that serves American Fork, 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.
