What to Expect at Your First Visit to Our Sandy, UT Clinic
Your first visit to Autism Centers of Utah is designed to help you and your child feel comfortable and informed.
How to Prepare
During your visit, you and your child will have the opportunity to meet members of our clinical team, learn about our ABA therapy program, tour the center and therapy spaces, and discuss your child's strengths, needs, and goals.
If you have previous evaluations, diagnostic reports, or school documents, bringing them can help us better understand your child's needs. Here is what else can help us get started — and don't worry if you don't have everything yet. Our team will guide you through each step.
If your child has not yet been diagnosed, our team can help guide you through the next steps and determine what assessments may be appropriate.
Insurance and Payment Options
Autism Centers of Utah is currently in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and Utah Medicaid.
Our team is happy to help families explore coverage options and determine whether services may be available through a single-case agreement or out-of-network arrangement when needed.
At this time we are unable to work with Tricare.
