What 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 That Fits Into Life in Sandy
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.
ABA Therapy Services for Families in Sandy
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.
In-Home ABA Therapy
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.
Early Intervention
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.
After School ABA Therapy
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.
Parent Training
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.
School and Daycare-Based ABA
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.
Center-Based ABA in Salt Lake City
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.
Our Salt Lake City Center, Close to Sandy
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.
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 from Utah. Our therapists live in the same neighborhoods, drive on the same roads, and are invested in the same communities as your family. That connection matters.

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.
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.
