Could your family benefit from high-quality, evidence-based treatment?

ABA Therapy in Utah

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapy that uses learning principles to teach communication, social, daily living, and behavioral skills. Most commonly used to support children with autism spectrum disorder, ABA also helps individuals with developmental disabilities, behavioral challenges, and co-occurring mental health conditions. At Bridgeway, ABA is delivered by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) at 8 Utah centers, through in-home ABA therapy across Utah, and via telehealth.

As Utah's largest integrated behavioral health team, we know the best way to provide treatment, and gain/experience lasting success, is to develop strong families by giving them the training and support they need!

Who Might Benefit from ABA Therapy?

ABA therapy can make a transformative difference for individuals and families facing a range of challenges. Our services are ideal for those diagnosed with autism, disabilities, or mental health conditions. We also support children and youth who display problem behaviors at home or school, including struggles with potty training, social difficulties, or defiant behavior in teens. Additionally, ABA therapy benefits individuals needing personalized, one-on-one guidance to develop new skills, as well as parents seeking effective strategies to manage difficult situations. For families in crisis, we offer structured support to foster stability and growth.

Family involvement, family success

Our whole-family program includes siblings, parents, peers, extended family, and others involved in the child's life.

Technicians can teach the skill first during a one-on-one session, then allow the child to practice the new skill with siblings, parents, and neighborhood friends.

Wrap-around support is given to each family we serve, to ensure that everyone's needs are met, and the entire family unit is strengthened while the child is improving their behavior.

Caregivers and siblings can receive counseling support while a child receives behavioral treatment.
