Services We Offer

At AIM – Autism In Motion, we understand that every child and family has unique needs. That is why we offer a variety of individualized

ABA therapy services, including clinic-based, in-home, community-based, and school-based treatment programs. By providing services across

multiple environments, we can create a flexible treatment plan tailored to your child's goals, learning style, and daily routine.

Our comprehensive approach allows us to deliver therapy in the settings where your child lives, learns, and interacts with others. Depending

on your child's needs, treatment may include a combination of clinic, home, school, and community-based sessions designed to maximize skill development and promote meaningful progress across all areas of life.

Many of our services include a dedicated 1:1 Behavior Technician, supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), who

provides individualized ABA therapy specific to the environment in which services are delivered. This approach helps children develop and

generalize skills across settings, leading to greater independence and long-term success.

Our programs focus on helping children:

     • Improve language and communication skills
    • Develop social and play skills
    • Increase attention, focus, and learning readiness
    • Build academic and functional living skills
    • Strengthen self-help and adaptive behaviors
    • Improve emotional regulation and coping skills
    • Reduce behaviors that interfere with learning, safety, and daily functioning

Home-Based Services

Home-based ABA therapy allows children to learn and practice important skills within the comfort and familiarity of their own home.

Because therapy occurs in the child's natural environment, treatment can be highly individualized and directly integrated into daily routines and family activities.

Home-based services provide opportunities to address real-life situations as they occur, helping children build communication, social, self-help, behavioral, and functional living skills that can be immediately applied throughout the day. Parents and caregivers also play an important role in the therapy process, allowing our team to provide ongoing coaching, education, and support that helps promote long-term success beyond scheduled therapy sessions.

Home-based therapy may be especially beneficial for children who need support with daily routines, communication within the family, self-care skills, behavior management, transitions, or other challenges that occur primarily in the home environment.

Clinic-Based Services

AIM proudly offers clinic-based ABA services at our Layton clinic located at:

327 Gordon Avenue, Suite 1
Layton, Utah 84041

Our clinic provides a structured, engaging environment specifically designed to support learning, social development, and skill acquisition. The clinic setting allows children to participate in focused therapy sessions while also practicing important social, communication, and cooperative skills with peers in a safe and supportive environment.

Clinic-based services may include:

     • Individual ABA therapy sessions
    • Social skills instruction
    • Peer interaction opportunities
    • Group therapy sessions
    • School readiness and transition support
    • Parent training and collaboration

The clinic environment offers unique opportunities for children to learn and practice skills that may be difficult to replicate in other settings. Through carefully designed activities, peer interactions, and structured learning opportunities, children can develop critical social, communication, and adaptive skills while receiving individualized, evidence-based treatment.

Community & School-Based Services

Community and school-based ABA therapy helps children apply and generalize skills in real-world settings where they interact with peers, teachers, and members of the community. These services may occur in schools, recreational activities, community programs, or other appropriate environments and focus on building independence, social competence, communication, and functional life skills.

By practicing skills in natural settings, children gain confidence and learn to navigate everyday situations more successfully, helping them achieve greater independence across all areas of life.

Whether services are provided in the clinic, at home, at school, or within the community, our goal remains the same: helping children build the skills, confidence, and independence necessary to thrive both now and in the future.

Applied Behavior Analysis

At AIM – Autism In Motion, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential. One of the most effective and widely researched approaches for helping children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) develop meaningful skills is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

ABA is an evidence-based therapy that uses the science of learning and behavior to help children acquire new skills, increase positive behaviors, and reduce behaviors that may interfere with learning, communication, independence, or daily life. Through ABA, we gain a better understanding of how behavior is influenced by a child's environment and how meaningful learning takes place.

ABA therapy is highly individualized and designed around each child's unique strengths, challenges, interests, and goals. Treatment focuses on teaching skills that improve quality of life, including communication, social interaction, play skills, emotional regulation, self-help skills, academic readiness, and independence.

One of the core principles of ABA is positive reinforcement. When a child successfully demonstrates a desired skill or behavior and receives a meaningful reward or positive outcome, they are more likely to repeat that behavior in the future. Over time, this process helps children build lasting skills, confidence, and independence.

When delivered by qualified professionals and tailored to the individual needs of the child, ABA can help children:

     • Improve communication and language skills
    • Develop meaningful social relationships
    • Increase independence in daily activities
    • Strengthen attention, learning, and academic readiness
    • Build coping and self-regulation skills
    • Reduce behaviors that interfere with learning and development
    • Successfully participate at home, in school, and within their community

At AIM, ABA services are delivered by highly trained Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) who work closely with families to create individualized treatment plans that support meaningful, long-term success.

Our goal is not simply to change behavior—it is to help children develop the skills, confidence, and independence needed to thrive throughout their lives.

Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)

Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) are highly trained clinicians who oversee the assessment, development, implementation, and ongoing evaluation of ABA therapy programs. They play a critical role in ensuring that each child receives individualized, evidence-based treatment designed to meet their unique needs and goals.

To become a BCBA, an individual must complete a master's degree in behavior analysis, psychology, education, or a related field, complete extensive supervised fieldwork, and pass a comprehensive national certification examination administered by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB). BCBAs are also required to adhere to rigorous ethical and professional standards and participate in ongoing continuing education to maintain their certification.

At AIM, BCBAs work closely with children, families, and therapy staff to create personalized treatment plans that focus on developing meaningful skills and improving overall quality of life. Their responsibilities include conducting assessments, identifying strengths and areas of need, developing and updating treatment and behavior intervention plans, monitoring progress, and making data-driven adjustments to ensure continued growth and success.

BCBAs also provide parent and caregiver training, helping families learn practical strategies that can be incorporated into everyday routines to support their child's development outside of therapy sessions. In addition, they supervise and mentor Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), ensuring that services are delivered consistently, effectively, and in accordance with best practices.

Through clinical expertise, ongoing collaboration, and individualized treatment planning, AIM's BCBAs help children build the skills, confidence, and independence needed to achieve meaningful and lasting success at home, in school, and within their communities.

Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)

Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) are trained professionals who provide direct, one-on-one ABA therapy services to children and families. RBTs work under the ongoing supervision and guidance of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to implement individualized treatment plans and help children develop meaningful skills across a variety of settings.

To earn the RBT credential, individuals must meet educational requirements, complete specialized training in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), demonstrate competency in key therapeutic skills, pass a comprehensive examination, and adhere to professional and ethical standards established by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB).

At AIM, RBTs play a vital role in helping children achieve their goals. Through structured teaching, play-based learning, positive reinforcement, and individualized support, RBTs work directly with children to improve communication, social interaction, daily living skills, emotional regulation, and independence.

Because RBTs often spend the most direct therapy time with each child, they build strong relationships with both children and families while collecting valuable data that helps the treatment team monitor progress and make informed decisions about ongoing care.

Working collaboratively with BCBAs and caregivers, our RBTs help ensure that every child receives consistent, compassionate, and evidence-based support designed to promote long-term success.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact us if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What is Autism?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how a person communicates, interacts with others, learns, and experiences the world around them. Because autism exists on a spectrum, every individual with ASD is unique, with their own strengths, challenges, interests, and abilities.

Children with autism may experience differences in areas such as communication, social interaction, behavior, sensory processing, and learning. Some children may have difficulty expressing their wants and needs, understanding social cues, adapting to changes in routine, or managing sensory experiences. Others may demonstrate exceptional strengths in areas such as memory, problem-solving, creativity, attention to detail, or specific interests and talents.

Signs of autism often emerge during early childhood, although the age at which characteristics become noticeable can vary from child to child. Early identification and intervention can help children develop important skills and maximize their ability to succeed at home, in school, and within their communities.

Because autism is a spectrum disorder, no two individuals are exactly alike. Some children may require significant support in their daily lives, while others may need only limited assistance to develop independence and achieve their goals. Some children may communicate using spoken language, while others may use alternative forms of communication. Some may actively seek social interaction, while others may find social situations more challenging or overwhelming.

Autism is not defined by a single set of characteristics. Rather, it represents a wide range of abilities, perspectives, and experiences. Understanding each child's unique strengths and needs is essential to developing effective support strategies and individualized treatment plans.

At AIM – Autism In Motion, we recognize that every child is different. Our goal is to help children build upon their strengths, develop meaningful skills, increase independence, and improve their overall quality of life through compassionate, individualized, and evidence-based care.

What are the Signs and Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?

Every child develops at their own pace, and having one or more of the signs listed below does not necessarily mean a child has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, recognizing developmental differences early can help families seek appropriate support and evaluation when needed.

Many children with ASD show signs during the first few years of life, and some developmental differences may be noticeable as early as infancy. Parents and caregivers are often the first to recognize that their child is developing differently than expected.

Signs That May Be Observed During the First 12 Months:

Limited or no babbling
Limited back-and-forth sharing of sounds, smiles, or facial expressions
Few or no big smiles or engaging expressions directed toward others
Limited or inconsistent eye contact
Limited use of gestures such as pointing, showing, reaching, or waving
Limited response to their name being called

By 16 Months:

Very few spoken words or no spoken words

By 24 Months:

No meaningful two-word phrases that are used spontaneously (not simply repeating or imitating words)

Signs That May Be Observed At Any Age:

Limited interest in interacting with other children
Difficulty initiating or maintaining social interactions
Limited imitation of others' actions or behaviors
Delayed language or communication development
Loss of previously acquired language, communication, or social skills
Difficulty understanding social cues, emotions, or the perspectives of others
Limited sharing of interests, experiences, or objects with others
Repetitive movements or behaviors such as rocking, spinning, hand flapping, or lining up objects
Strong preference for routines or difficulty with unexpected changes
Unusual responses to sounds, lights, textures, tastes, smells, or other sensory experiences
Limited use of gestures such as pointing to indicate interest or share experiences

When Should You Seek an Evaluation?

If your child demonstrates several of these signs or if you have concerns about their development, it may be beneficial to speak with your pediatrician or another qualified healthcare professional. Early screening and evaluation can help identify developmental needs and connect families with appropriate resources and support.

One commonly used screening tool is the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT), which helps identify children who may benefit from a more comprehensive evaluation. While the M-CHAT is not a diagnostic tool, it can provide valuable information about whether additional assessment is recommended.

Early Intervention Matters

Research consistently shows that early identification and intervention can have a meaningful impact on a child's development. The earlier a child receives appropriate support, the greater the opportunity to build communication, social, learning, and adaptive skills that promote long-term success.

If you have questions about your child's development or would like to learn more about autism evaluations and ABA services, the team at AIM – Autism In Motion is here to help.
