ABA therapy in West Jordan: why families choose Epic Minds
A community that's growing, with services that need to keep up
West Jordan is one of Utah's fastest-growing cities, and the families moving here are diverse in background, language, and circumstance. The demand for ABA therapy has grown with the population. We're here to help fill that need with consistent, quality care.
We serve Jordan District families
Jordan School District covers West Jordan and serves a large, diverse student population. Our BCBAs are familiar with the district's special education structure and work alongside school teams when coordination helps a child's progress.
Culturally responsive care
West Jordan's families come from many different communities, including significant Latino and Pacific Islander populations. We approach every family as individuals. Communication, scheduling, and the goals we work toward are shaped by your family's actual values and circumstances.
What ABA therapy in West Jordan can look like
A child who used to run from the table every night sits through dinner for the first time. His family eats together. That’s togetherness.
A little girl who couldn’t use the bathroom at school starts her day without anxiety. Her teacher notices. That’s dignity.
A family that had been told their son would never be able to communicate watches him tell his grandfather a joke on the phone. That’s everything.

How involved will I be in my child's therapy?
Very involved. Your BCBA will walk you through the initial assessment, explain the goals, and update you regularly. Parent training is often part of the program, and your observations at home matter.
What if my child needs a higher intensity of services than what's initially authorized?
If your BCBA determines your child needs more hours than initially approved, we work with your insurance company to request that authorization. This is a common part of what our team manages.
