ABA Therapy for Riverton Families

Riverton sits on the west side of the south valley, and our Sandy clinic is about 15 minutes east — most families take Bangerter Highway to I-15 North, then exit at 9000 South. If you're near Riverton City Park or along 12600 South, the drive is an easy one.

We know that Riverton families have fewer local therapy options compared to cities closer to the I-15 corridor. That's one reason we serve families from across the south valley — so you don't have to drive to Sugarhouse or downtown for quality autism services. Our Sandy location gives you BCBA-led ABA therapy, speech therapy, OT, and feeding therapy in one clinic.

Your child deserves expert care close to home. Call (385) 417-3869 to schedule a free consultation and check your insurance coverage.
