My little brother, Blake, inspired me to create Autism Centers of Utah – a place where a lifetime of love and lessons lives on in every child we help. …
I grew up watching my brother navigate a world that didn’t always understand him and definitely did not always make space for him. For decades, I was right there through it all – the struggles that challenged my family, the meltdowns that were difficult to watch, the self-harm which broke my heart, and the judgmental looks from outsiders. I also experienced the wins that lit up my life, the triumphs that made me cry happy tears and the in between moments that taught me patience and hope. I learned that progress isn’t always loud – it is in a look, a word, a connection.
I have felt the exhaustion of searching for answers to help my brother live a better life and I have felt the pleasure of doing activities with him that I had never dreamed possible. I was part of a family devoted to understanding the needs of children with ASD and improving their quality of life. My parents created the best program on the east coast in the autism industry and I enveloped myself for years in every aspect of that endeavor.
The years and experience fueled me to take everything I had seen and felt and knew and learned to pay it forward in creating a place where families like mine can find real support and success. Decades have passed and potentials have increased with scientific studies and cutting edge technology. My brother taught me that every child deserves a chance and I’m here to make sure your child gets it.
I’ve lived this journey, not just watched or heard about it. Our professional team at Autism Centers of Utah is ready to help you and your child grow and navigate the world while fighting for your child’s voice, their confidence, their future.
Optimal Autism Treatment
We have built something extraordinary in the state of Utah – a thoughtfully designed therapy center with a variety of rooms where your child connects with peers and their own dedicated 1:1 therapist all day, every day. The space is filled with rooms and activities designed for therapy, recreational play, creative projects, mealtimes, personal hygiene and, of course, nap time. It is the daycare, preschool and therapy experience combined into one. At Autism Centers of Utah, your kids will grow and thrive in a full day comprehensive program so that they can smoothly transition outside of our therapy center.
Throughout a typical day, children will experience circle time, gym play on swings and slides, crafts, snacks and celebrations. We teach the important skills (social, behavioral, communication, daily living) in a calm, kid-friendly environment. With cutting edge technology and software tracking every challenge and triumph, we are the place in Utah that gets it, delivering services and progress that you can see and feel and appreciate.
Why we founded Autism Centers of Utah? An ABA Therapy
The perfect place
We envisioned a center where all of Blake’s therapy needs could be met under one roof, making scheduling and transportation easier. More importantly, we wanted a space where therapists could communicate and collaborate seamlessly, ensuring the best outcomes for his progress.
A calm environment
We wanted a place that offered a calm, soothing atmosphere and environment for Blake and me, from the time that we walked through the door.
Someone who really cares
Our goal was to find a place where helping our son came first, without the added stress of managing insurance and paperwork on our own.
Experienced Therapists
Our vision was to create a dream team of highly skilled and compassionate therapists, all working together to provide the best care and support for every child’s unique needs.
