What ABA Therapy Can Support
Every child has different strengths and needs. Our team builds an individualized plan around practical skills that can support participation at home, at school, and in the community.
Communicating Wants and Needs
Practice language, gestures, communication tools, and social connection in ways that fit your child.
Participating in Daily Routines
Build skills for transitions, play, self-care, family routines, and other meaningful parts of the day.
Building Independence
Break new skills into manageable steps and practice them with encouragement, consistency, and patience.
Helping Families Feel Prepared
Give parents practical strategies and a clearer understanding of how to support skills outside therapy sessions.
ABA Skills That Can Support Kindergarten Participation
For a preschool-age child, individualized ABA goals may include skills they will use throughout a kindergarten day. Depending on your child’s evaluation and family priorities, therapy may support:
- Communicating wants, needs, questions, and requests for help
- Moving between activities and participating in familiar routines
- Playing alongside other children, sharing attention, and taking turns
- Following age-appropriate directions with increasing independence
- Practicing dressing, toileting, mealtime, and other self-care routines
- Using regulation and communication strategies during difficult moments
Kindergarten readiness is broader than any one therapy or checklist. ABA does not replace preschool or school-based supports, and progress cannot be guaranteed by a particular date. The goal is to help your child practice meaningful skills that can support participation across home, school, and community life.
Therapy Built Around Your Child
Sessions use play, movement, your child’s interests, and everyday activities to make skill practice meaningful. Goals are individualized rather than taken from a one-size-fits-all program.
- Play-based sessions guided by your child’s interests
- Individual goals for communication and everyday skills
- Parent guidance and participation
- Coordination with speech and occupational therapy when helpful
- Ongoing review as your child’s needs and abilities change
How Getting Started Works
1. Start With a Conversation
Tell us about your child, the routines or skills you want to support, and the questions you have about care.
2. Confirm Coverage and Complete an Evaluation
We help you understand insurance requirements and next steps. When ABA appears to be a good fit, the clinical team learns about your child’s strengths, needs, and family priorities.
3. Build Your Child’s Plan
Your family and therapy team agree on meaningful goals, session recommendations, and ways to support progress at home and in everyday life.
Insurance Help for ABA Therapy
We work with many insurance plans, including Medicaid, Select Health, PEHP, BlueCross BlueShield, United Healthcare, University of Utah plans, and others. Coverage, referrals, and authorization requirements depend on the individual plan.

A Collaborative, Play-Based Approach
Breaking Barriers uses Intensive Collaborative Behavior Therapy, or ICBT. This approach is grounded in ABA and brings parents, behavior therapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, educators, and other members of a child’s support team together around shared goals.
Sessions use play and your child’s interests to practice communication, independence, emotional regulation, and everyday skills. Parents receive guidance so the strategies used in therapy can connect with real routines at home and in the community.
The goal is thoughtful, coordinated care that respects your child’s strengths while helping them practice meaningful new skills.
