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.

Why Riverton Families Choose Center-Based ABA

Riverton families have fewer local options, which is exactly why a comprehensive center is worth the drive. In one visit, your child receives ABA plus any supportive speech, occupational, or feeding therapy — no chasing separate providers across the valley.

Center-based care delivers the intensity research links to the strongest outcomes: consistent hours, a dedicated team, and an environment built for learning. For Riverton, one well-planned trip replaces several scattered appointments.

Insurance for Riverton Families

Autism Centers of Utah is in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and Utah Medicaid, and Utah's autism mandate (HB 308) requires many plans to cover ABA therapy. We verify your Riverton family's benefits for free.
