Finding the right support for adults with autism can be a challenge. Many programs in Utah only take children, forgetting that adults with autism and their families also need resources. Traditional day programs often focus on general activities rather than personalized, goal-driven approaches. At Nova Supports, we’re changing the game with our specialized ABA clinics for adults, offering services that cater to the unique needs of individuals with autism in Utah.

Our Adult Autism Utah Clinics in Utah are designed to go beyond typical day programs. We aim to provide structured, evidence-based therapy in a supportive and enriching environment. Here’s why Nova stands out and why it’s a game-changer for adults with autism.


Why Nova Supports’ Clinics Are Better Than Traditional Day Programs


Individualized, Goal-Oriented Therapy

At Nova Supports, our clinics are focused on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy tailored to each individual’s goals. While traditional day programs may provide general supervision and activities, our adult autism clinics prioritize:

  • Building life and job skills

  • Improving communication and social interactions

  • Promoting independence through personalized therapy plans

  • Every individual works one-on-one with trained staff members, ensuring that progress is consistently measured and celebrated.


A Structured Environment

Our adult autism clinics are designed to provide structure and routine, which can be critical for individuals on the autism spectrum. Each day is carefully planned to balance skill-building, social interaction, and community integration activities. If you'd like more information on a typical day at our clinic, call our number at 801 - 335 - 9382.


Skill Development for Real-Life Situations

Our unique program includes opportunities to practice tolerance and independence in simulated environments, such as a mock doctor’s office, barber shop, or dentist’s chair. Adults can also participate in activities like grocery shopping or navigating public transportation, giving them confidence to thrive in their everyday lives, or be able to get a job.


Social Skills with Groups

Unlike many day programs, we integrate group sessions to build and enhance social skills. Our clients engage in shared activities during lunch and other parts of the day, practicing communication and collaboration with peers.

Community Outings

At Nova Supports, we understand the importance of inclusion. Our clinics regularly incorporate outings such as trips to local parks, libraries, and community events. Too many day programs stick clients in front of a TV all day. We aim to enrich their lives and give them confidence. Nova also sometimes hosts events, such as a Silent Santa in December.


Benefits of Nova Supports’ Adult Autism Utah Clinic

  • One-On-One Supervision: We have incorporated ABA into our clinics, so that every client has their own staff to implement ABA therapy. No more understaffed clinics!

  • Personal Growth: Clients work toward individualized goals that foster independence and self-confidence.

  • Meaningful Engagement: Activities are designed to be purposeful and engaging, ensuring that every moment contributes to personal development.

  • Better Outcomes: Our focused approach leads to measurable progress in communication, behavior management, and life skills.
