Frequently Asked Questions
Does ABA therapy help children, or does it just train them?
ABA therapy is designed to help children develop meaningful skills that improve their daily lives, rather than just training them to follow instructions. Through evidence-based strategies, such as positive reinforcement and individualized treatment plans, children with autism can build communication, social, and daily living skills that support long-term independence and success. The goal of ABA is to empower children with real-life skills they can use in a variety of settings, from home to school and beyond.

Yes! Utah Behavior Services in Cedar City provides professional therapy services, including ABA therapy, behavioral health support, and social skills development.
Our team of experienced therapists works with children, adolescents, and families, offering personalized treatment plans to support their unique needs.
To what extent is early intervention for autism beneficial?
Early intervention is one of the most effective ways to support children with autism, as studies show that children who receive therapy at a young age make significant gains in communication, social skills, and independent living abilities. The brain is highly adaptable in early childhood, making it an ideal time to develop positive behaviors and reduce challenges.

What is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and how does it help?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a science-based therapy designed to help individuals improve social skills, communication, and positive behaviors while reducing challenging behaviors.
At UTBS Cedar City, we tailor ABA therapy to meet each individual’s needs, focusing on real-life skills that promote independence.
Why is my autistic child skipping classes?
There can be many reasons why a child with autism may avoid or struggle with attending school. Sensory sensitivities, anxiety, communication difficulties, or challenges with social interactions can all contribute to school avoidance. ABA therapy can help by identifying the underlying causes of school-related stress and providing strategies to support classroom participation.
How does social skills therapy help children with autism?
Social skills therapy helps children develop essential communication and interaction abilities, improving their ability to form friendships, follow social cues, and engage in group activities.
UTBS Cedar City integrates ABA therapy and structured social learning programs to help children build confidence and independence in social settings.
