NOVA SUPPORTS ABA Therapy

WE'RE ON A MISSION

to provide compassionate care to people with disabilities in Utah.

Helping People With Autism Reach Their Full Potential

At Nova Supports, we are dedicated to providing intensive Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to children, teens, and adults

with autism. Our experienced team offers compassionate,
evidence-based therapy that supports each person's unique needs.
As Utah's fastest-growing autism services company, we are filling a need that we see in our community, which is autism services that put people first. Our priority will always be providing quality services to everyone in our care.

We genuinely love when our clients thrive in the spaces we provide. We're not training people to be quiet and stop being "weird." Neuro-affirming care is important to us, so we stim with you, we teach you skills, and we help you grow into the best version of yourself.

In-Home ABA Services

Deciding between clinic ABA services or in-home ABA therapy? There's no wrong answer! ABA is a great therapy service for people with autism. Your family's decision of where it is held just depends on your family's abilities and needs.

Nova's in-home ABA therapy is perfect for families who don't have reliable transportation, busy schedules, or kids who feel more comfortable at home.

In-home ABA therapy can help minimize disruptions to your family's daily life, maximizing comfort for anxious kids.

You still get amazing services through Nova Supports when you choose to be at home with the therapy coming to you. Your child will receive direct one-on-one therapy in an environment where they feel safe and secure. Our behavior technicians are supervised by a BCBA periodically and help guide the sessions.

Doing ABA at home can help siblings, parents, and other family members be more involved with the behavior plan by seeing the sessions in action and being able to replicate them. Support from all angles helps teach new skills faster and better!

Getting ABA in your home doesn't mean you get less personalized ABA. Your child will still get customized behavioral strategies that cater to the individual needs of your child, focusing on communication, social skills, and independence.

Worried about
PDA?

We are trained!

PDA stands for Pathological Demand Avoidance (sometimes also referred to as Pervasive Drive for Autonomy).

PDA is most often described as a profile of autism in which everyday demands can feel intensely threatening or overwhelming, leading to avoidance that is rooted in anxiety and a strong need for autonomy and control. (While PDA is being more widely discussed in recent years, it is important to note that it is not currently recognized as a distinct diagnosis in the DSM-5 or ICD-11, which can contribute to confusion, mislabeling, or delayed support.)

Very simply, PDA is an autism profile where everyday demands feel overwhelming, so the person avoids them to protect their sense of control. (For more information on PDA, click here.)

At Nova Supports, we help autistic individuals and families with a focus on connection. Our staff is trained on how to work with PDA individuals. We support autonomy and use practical accommodations. We know pressure-based strategies often backfire for PDA and can raise anxiety. So we build trust first and reduce unnecessary demands. We collaborate with the individual. We also use declarative language, like “I notice…,” “I wonder…,” and “I’m thinking…,” to lower pressure while still making progress.

Nova SUPPORTS trains RBTs and clinical staff to recognize PDA patterns and use individualized strategies that support safety, dignity, and regulation.

What is "Space to Thrive"?

"Space to Thrive" was born from a pun on the outer space theme we love to embrace at Nova Supports. And while we love the play on words, the dual meaning is something that resonates with us.

Because we want to give fun environments where kids can explore and thrive in (literal) outer space-themed clinics. But we also wish to give adults and children space to thrive in any atmosphere they exist in.

ABA therapy can be a new (and scary) experience for many autism families. We are here for you every step of the way.

Why Choose Nova Supports?

Licensed

We are contracted with the state and only hire licensed behavior analysts and RBTs.

Our team of RBTs and ABA therapists are highly trained and deeply committed to your child’s development.

Locally-Owned

Locally owned by autism parents in Utah, we strive to ensure the quality of care goes above and beyond your expectations for autism services. We would want our own children to be treated the same.

Neuro-Affirming care

We are not here to get rid of stimming or "weird" behaviors, as these can be self-regulating and calming for autistic people. (As long as they aren't hurting themselves or others) we let them stim & be themselves. The purpose of ABA is to encourage independent skills and communication.

CLINICS AROUND UTAH

ABA therapy in a clinical setting can be beneficial to many kids and adults with autism. Peer interaction can help with many ABA goals.

Family-Centered Approach

Every family is entitled to weekly parent training with their BCBA for more support.

In-Home Options

ABA therapy in a familiar environment can be more convenient for many families, and a familiar environment can be comforting for some children!

Transparency With the Team

You can contact us with any concerns or questions you have with your child's treatment plan. It's important to us you understand how ABA works and what goals we are working on, and we will be transparent with any changes to those goals.

Data-Driven

We track the data for each client, and follow current scientific evidence-based practices that have been
scientifically shown to aid in developmental progress and well- being. We aim to give the best behavioral services possible.

“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”

What's PRT?

Age-Appropriate, Autism-Affirming care!

Pivotal Response Training (PRT) is a type of autism therapy that uses play and everyday activities to help a child learn important skills. (Most important are usually especially communication and social interaction.)

Instead of lots of drills sitting at a table, the therapist follows the child’s interests and builds learning into things your child already likes.

The goal is to boost motivation so learning feels easier and more natural. PRT often includes giving choices, rewarding “good tries” (not just perfect responses), and using rewards that match what your child is doing, like getting a turn with a toy after asking for it.

At Nova Supports, we train our RBTs and clinical team to use PRT strategies so therapy feels like fun and age-appropriate. ABA only works when the child is enjoying it! We focus on positive and practical methods of teaching new skills to help kids and adults thrive at home and in the community.
