ABA therapy in Provo: why families choose Epic Minds
Utah County is growing fast
The schools are full, and families in Provo are often navigating a system under real pressure. Special education resources stretch thin when enrollment grows faster than staffing. We work to be the part of this picture that stays steady.
We know Utah insurance inside and out
Whether you're on Medicaid, CHIP, or a commercial plan through an employer in the Silicon Slopes corridor, we've worked with it. Our team handles the authorization process from first contact through every renewal.
A program built around your family's schedule
Provo families are busy. Schedules fill up. We design therapy that fits your life: in-home sessions before school, center-based work in the afternoon, or a combination that makes sense for where you are right now.
What ABA therapy in Provo can look like
A four-year-old who spent mealtimes in distress learns to sit, wait, and try new foods with his family at the table. That’s connection.
A child who struggled every morning with backpack, shoes, and out the door now moves through the routine with minimal prompting. That’s independence.
A parent who came to us running on empty finds herself laughing at something her daughter did at the park. That’s what we work for.
ABA therapy services in Provo
In-home ABA therapy
We work with your child in the setting where so much of their learning already happens. Home sessions focus on routines, daily skills, and the moments that make up your family's actual day.
Center-based ABA therapy
A structured center environment works well for children who benefit from clear transitions and a space designed for focused learning. Our Provo center keeps things consistent and predictable.
Community-based ABA therapy
Provo has a lot to offer. The trails, the library, the museum at BYU: we use community settings to help children practice skills in the real places they'll encounter them.
School-readiness and social skills
Utah County's kindergarten classrooms are busy places. We help children build the communication, attention, and social skills that make school more manageable from the first week.

FAQ
Does Utah Medicaid cover ABA therapy in Provo?
Yes. Utah Medicaid and CHIP both cover ABA for children with an autism diagnosis. Prior authorization is required, and our team manages that from the first step.
How do I know if my child qualifies for ABA therapy?
A formal autism diagnosis is the starting point for insurance coverage. If your child has already been evaluated, we can begin intake right away. If the evaluation is still in progress, reach out and we'll help you understand the path from here.
What does a typical week of ABA therapy look like?
It varies based on your child's plan. Recommended hours are determined by your BCBA based on the initial assessment. Some children attend a few hours a week; others have more intensive schedules.
Can we start with a shorter schedule and increase later?
Your BCBA will recommend a starting intensity based on your child's needs and your family's capacity. The plan is reviewed regularly and adjusted as things change.
