Early Intervention ABA Therapy in Salt Lake City, Utah

Personalized ABA Therapy for Toddlers & Infants

Early intervention ABA therapy is built for young children, generally ages 2 to 6, who have an autism diagnosis or are showing signs of developmental delay. Through play-based sessions at the clinic or at home, a BCBA builds a plan around communication, social connection, and daily routines, so skills take root while your child's brain is most ready to form them.

    Absolutely exceptional ABA company. I personally know the owner, and I can genuinely say that the level of care and personal attention he puts into this company is incredible. He is hands on with every aspect of the business, from the patients and families to the staff and day to day operations. Nothing is treated like “just another case.” You can tell this company was built around truly caring about the children and families they serve, and making sure each patient receives the attention, therapy, and support they deserve. If you are looking for an ABA provider that combines professionalism, quality care, and an owner who is personally invested from top to bottom, I cannot recommend Aviation ABA Therapy Center enough.

    The Earlier the Start, the More Room to Grow

    Young children's brains form connections especially quickly, which is why focused early support tends to build skills more easily. A BCBA designs a plan around your child's interests, built on play: building blocks, pretend play, taking turns, all while working toward specific developmental goals in communication, social engagement, and daily routines.

    Early intervention works best when combined with home-based aba therapy, where our team works closely alongside parents and caregivers so that progress made during sessions shows up everywhere.

    What is Early Intervention in ABA Therapy?

    Early intervention is Applied Behavior Analysis provided to young children, generally ages 2 to 6, during a window when the brain forms connections quickly. It builds foundational skills in communication, social interaction, play, and daily routines, through in-home or clinic-based sessions .

    Conditions We Support

    Our ABA program for toddlers is designed for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), as well as children showing signs of developmental delay who haven't yet received a formal diagnosis. Every plan is built around where your child is right now.

    1:1 Dedicated therapist for every child
    #1 Evidence-based approach for autism support

    Skills We Focus On

    • Early communication: first words, gestures, requesting
    • Social engagement: eye contact, joint attention, back-and-forth play
    • Imitation skills, the foundation for learning by watching others
    • Early daily living skills and following simple routines
    • Reducing behaviors that interfere with learning, like difficulty with transitions
    • School readiness: group instructions, circle time, classroom routines

    Benefits of Early Intervention ABA Therapy

    Easier Learning

    Young minds are especially open to building new connections. Early intervention takes advantage of that window while it's open.

    Play-Based Sessions

    Sessions are built around play and the things your child already loves, while working toward real developmental goals underneath.

    Clinic or In-Home, Your Choice

    Sessions happen at our clinic in Salt Lake City or directly in your home, wherever fits your family's schedule best.
