Autism Evaluation in Salt Lake County
Serving families across Salt Lake County from our Taylorsville Center — voted #1 in Utah for 6 years running.
6× Best Behavioral/Mental Health Treatment in Southern + Northern Utah · Voted #1 in Utah 6 years running · CASP 2026 Platinum Sponsor
If you suspect your child may be on the autism spectrum, a timely, thorough evaluation is the gateway to services, school supports, and insurance-funded therapy. Bridgeway provides comprehensive autism diagnostic evaluations for families in Salt Lake County using gold-standard tools administered by licensed clinicians.
Referred by your pediatrician but stuck on a hospital waitlist? Many Salt Lake County families are sent to university or hospital assessment clinics where waits commonly stretch from many months to over a year. Bridgeway offers private, comprehensive autism evaluations without the year-long hospital wait — the same validated tools, a report schools and insurers accept, and answers while the early intervention window is still open.
Unlike standalone testing practices, Bridgeway can move your family directly from diagnosis into ABA therapy, counseling, and medical supports within the same organization — so a diagnosis in Salt Lake County becomes a treatment plan, not another waitlist.
With two clinics in the valley — Taylorsville and our Redwood Road center — Bridgeway covers Salt Lake County from Herriman to the Avenues.
Families here are served by Jordan School District, Canyons School District, Granite School District, and Salt Lake City School District. Jordan District serves the fast-growing southwest Salt Lake Valley — West Jordan, South Jordan, Riverton, and Herriman. At a parent's request, Bridgeway clinicians coordinate with school teams on IEP and 504 supports — Bridgeway is an independent provider and is not affiliated with any school district.
Your nearest Bridgeway location is the Taylorsville Center at 5536 S 1900 W, Taylorsville, UT 84129, open Monday to Friday 9:00am - 7:00pm. Serving Salt Lake County & parts of Davis County.
The Taylorsville Center is the nearest Bridgeway location for families in West Valley City, West Jordan, and Murray — tell our intake team your city and they will confirm what is available there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Bridgeway center serves Salt Lake County?
Salt Lake County is covered by 2 Bridgeway centers: our Taylorsville Center (5536 S 1900 W, Taylorsville, UT 84129) covers Taylorsville, West Valley City, West Jordan, Murray, Sandy, South Jordan, Draper, Herriman, and Riverton; our Salt Lake City Center (6013 S Redwood Rd, Taylorsville, UT 84123) covers Salt Lake City. Call (801) 255-5131 ext. 6 to start with autism evaluation and diagnostic testing.
We were referred to a hospital clinic and told to wait — can Bridgeway evaluate my child instead?
Yes. Waits at Utah's university and hospital assessment clinics are commonly reported at many months to over a year. A hospital referral is a recommendation, not a requirement — Bridgeway's licensed clinicians provide private, comprehensive evaluations for Salt Lake County families using the same validated instruments, typically on a much shorter timeline, and we send results back to your pediatrician.
We live in a rural part of Salt Lake County — can we still get autism evaluation and diagnostic testing?
The testing appointment itself happens at the Taylorsville Center, 5536 S 1900 W, Taylorsville, UT 84129. Ask our intake team which parts of the process — intake paperwork, caregiver and teacher rating scales, the feedback session — can be handled without a second trip.
How far will we travel for autism evaluation and diagnostic testing in Salt Lake County?
Families in Taylorsville and Salt Lake City already have a Bridgeway center in town. Elsewhere in the county, drive times run about 10 minutes from West Valley City via Bangerter Highway or 5400 South, about 15 minutes from Sandy via I-15 or Bangerter Highway, and about 15–20 minutes from Riverton via Bangerter Highway.
Which school districts does Bridgeway work with in Salt Lake County?
Families across Salt Lake County are served by Jordan School District, Canyons School District, Granite School District, and Salt Lake City School District. At a parent's request, Bridgeway clinicians coordinate with school teams on IEP and 504 supports — always as an independent provider, never as part of a district.
Do you take insurance for autism evaluation and diagnostic testing in Salt Lake County?
Bridgeway works with most major insurance plans in Utah, including Medicaid options. Our intake team verifies your specific benefits for autism evaluation and diagnostic testing before your first appointment, at no cost.
How soon can my child start autism evaluation and diagnostic testing?
Timelines vary with staffing and insurance authorization, but because evaluation, therapy, and psychiatry are all under one roof at Bridgeway, families in Salt Lake County typically move from first call to services faster than when coordinating multiple separate providers.
Why do families in Salt Lake County choose Bridgeway?
Bridgeway has been voted #1 in Utah for our services for 6 consecutive years and in 2026 won “Best Behavioral/Mental Health Treatment in Southern + Northern Utah” for the 6th time. We're also a Platinum Sponsor of CASP 2026 — and the only integrated provider in the area combining ABA, mental health, evaluations, and psychiatry in one team.
