NEW SALT LAKE CITY LOCATION NOW OPEN! |
Our ABA centers provide a warm, safe, and encouraging environment where children learn through play, exploration, and individualized support. Instead of sitting at a desk doing repetitive tasks, your child will engage in fun, meaningful activities that build confidence and promote learning across all areas of development.
Center-based ABA therapy offers a community setting that encourages age-appropriate learning and social interaction. We see amazing progress in communication, peer relationships, academics, self-regulation, potty training, and many other essential life skills — all through personalized programs designed for each child’s unique needs.
We know you have a busy schedule but also want your child to receive the help they need. That’s why our centers open at 8 am and close at 6 pm. We work with each parent to develop a set therapy schedule that’s both convenient for them and promotes the success of their child.
Center-Based ABA Therapy is a structured, clinical environment where children receive Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. This setting connects our clients with specialized tools and resources, allowing therapists to work on targeted behaviors and skills while fostering meaningful peer interactions in a controlled, supportive environment.
Center-Based ABA therapy is ideal for children who thrive in a structured learning environment or need additional support to develop critical skills. It is particularly valuable for children who can benefit from peer interactions and focused one-on-one sessions with experienced therapists.
Children will develop their skills in communication, social interaction, play, self-care, and pre-academic skills. Each program is individualized to address the child’s unique strengths and challenges, ensuring targeted growth in the areas most important to their development.
Center-Based ABA Therapy occurs in a clinic setting, where children have access to structured activities, specialized materials, and interactions with peers, creating a highly controlled environment for learning. In contrast, In-Home ABA Therapy is conducted in the child’s natural environment, focusing on real-life applications and routines.
Therapists implement individualized treatment plans, measure progress through data collection, and make adjustments to help children meet their developmental goals. They also collaborate with families to provide continuity between therapy sessions and the child’s home life.
Yes, parent involvement is encouraged through regular progress meetings, training sessions, and open communication with the therapy team. Parents can also learn strategies to reinforce their child’s skills at home, creating a cohesive approach to their child’s development.
The recommended hours vary depending on the child’s specific goals and needs but typically range from 20 to 40 hours per week. This level of intensity allows for consistent practice and reinforcement of learned skills.
Parents typically provide snacks, comfort items, or any specific materials recommended by the therapy team to support the child’s learning. If your child uses assistive communication devices, those should also be brought to each session.
Therapists use evidence-based strategies, such as identifying triggers, teaching replacement behaviors, and reinforcing positive actions. Over time, these approaches help children develop more effective ways to communicate their needs and manage their emotions.
Many insurance plans cover ABA therapy services as part of treatment for autism spectrum disorder. On Target ABA can assist families with verifying coverage, handling paperwork, and navigating the approval process.
