Statewide · multi-county
DSPD respite — and Utah's Caregiver Compensation program
DSPD funds respite delivered in your home, in the respite provider's home or in a specialized facility. Utah also now runs Caregiver Compensation, an ongoing program under which parents, step-parents, legal guardians and spouses providing extraordinary care to a qualifying family member can be PAID for it — a genuinely unusual arrangement that began in 2024 and that many eligible families still have not heard of.
Caregiver Compensation and respite are separate things and you may qualify for both. The Utah Parent Center gives free help with DSPD paperwork.
~3,000 providers nationwide
ARCH National Respite Locator
A free national database of respite providers searchable by state and locality — home care agencies, community-based organizations and state programs. The single best starting point for finding respite anywhere in the country, and it is the tool state agencies themselves point families toward.
A national programme with local chapters — we have not verified a chapter in this county. Use their finder to locate the nearest one.
Before you pay out of pocket, check what your state's Medicaid waiver funds — respite is covered by nearly every state waiver, and many families never think to ask.
Most states run one
Your state's Lifespan Respite Care Program
Lifespan Respite Care Programs are federally seeded, state-run programs that help families of any age and any disability find and pay for respite — often including vouchers or subsidies that do not depend on having a Medicaid waiver. Most states have one, they are chronically under-used, and they are rarely mentioned by anyone else in the system.
A national programme with local chapters — we have not verified a chapter in this county. Use their finder to locate the nearest one.
Search for "[your state] Lifespan Respite" or use the ARCH directory. Ask specifically about voucher or subsidy programs — that is the part families most often miss.

Special Olympics Utah
12227 S. Business Park Drive, Bldg. 5, Suite 100W, Draper, UT 84020
The Utah state program, offering year-round training and state competition at no cost to athletes or their families. Sports include athletics, basketball, bocce, bowling, cheerleading, cycling, dance, golf, soccer, softball, swimming, snowshoeing, snowboarding and cross-country skiing. Serves children and adults.
Eligibility centers on intellectual disability. If your family member is autistic without an intellectual disability, ask about fit before signing up.
200+ locations nationwide
ACEing Autism
Weekly Saturday tennis clinics built specifically for autistic children aged 5 to 18, run by volunteers at more than 200 locations across the country, serving over 7,000 players. Sessions run in six-week blocks of an hour. This is the clearest example of the interest-based model working: the sport supplies the structure, the turn-taking and the reason to be there, so the social side happens sideways rather than being the task.

American Camp Association — camp finder
A free searchable directory of close to 4,000 summer camps that can be filtered for camps serving autistic campers, by distance, session length, activities and cost. The best single starting point for finding a day or overnight camp anywhere in the country.

Best Buddies
One-to-one friendship matching between people with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities, plus employment, leadership and inclusive living programs. Over 4,000 chapters across all 50 states, serving school-age through adult. If what your family wants is a friend rather than an activity, this is the most direct answer in the country.

Local affiliates across most of the country
Easterseals — camps and recreation
Day and overnight camps run through local Easterseals affiliates, several of them autism-specific, with weekend respite and family camp sessions as well. Many affiliates operate sliding-scale fees, and several camps serve adults alongside children.

Programs vary a great deal between affiliates — check what your nearest one actually runs rather than assuming the national description applies.
Week-long camps hosted nationwide
iCan Shine (iCan Bike)
Teaches people with disabilities to ride a conventional two-wheeled bicycle, using adapted roller bikes over a week-long camp that gradually transfers balance to the rider. Learning to ride a bike is a milestone a lot of autistic children are quietly written off for, and this is the program that most reliably delivers it. Camps are hosted by local organizations across the country, so availability is by host town rather than by chapter.

Check their site for host locations and dates — camps run in different towns each year, so somewhere near you may host this year and not next.
Local chapters in a number of US cities
KEEN (Kids Enjoy Exercise Now)
Volunteer-led one-to-one recreation for children and young adults with developmental and physical disabilities, at no cost to families or carers. The one-to-one model is the point: a volunteer is paired with your child for the session, which makes it workable for people who cannot manage a group setting unsupported.

Free to families. Runs through local chapters in a number of US cities rather than everywhere — check whether yours has one.
900+ divisions nationwide
Little League Challenger Division
Baseball for children and adults with a physical or intellectual disability, across more than 900 divisions. The main division serves ages 4–18, or up to 22 if still enrolled in school; the Senior League Challenger Division serves 15 and above with no upper age limit.

Ask your state youth soccer association which local clubs run TOPSoccer — it is often not advertised on the club's own website.

How many autism providers serve Salt Lake County, Utah?
We list 74 providers serving Salt Lake County, covering ABA therapy, advocacy & legal, activities, clubs & recreation, occupational therapy & sensory and respite care, plus 5 more. Some are based in the county and others serve it from nearby areas. Every listing is reviewed by a person before it is published.
Which autism providers in Salt Lake County accept Medicaid?
44 of the providers we list for Salt Lake County state that they accept Medicaid, including A Plus Gold Plus Therapy, A.B.I. Learning Center, A.G.E.S. Learning Solutions and ABA Achievers, plus 40 more. Coverage and plan participation change often, so confirm directly with the provider before your first appointment.
Where can I find ABA therapy in Salt Lake County?
ABA providers serving Salt Lake County are listed in the ABA therapy section of this page, with phone numbers and websites. Many deliver services in the family's home or at school as well as in a clinic. Ask about waitlists when you call — they vary widely and change month to month.
Are there telehealth autism services for Salt Lake County families?

Can autism therapy happen at home in Salt Lake County?
4 providers serving Salt Lake County deliver services in the family's home. Many children do better in a familiar setting than in an unfamiliar clinic room, and in-home visits remove the travel burden.
Does Medicaid pay for autism services in Utah?
Utah families can apply to the DSPD Home and Community-Based Services Waiver, a Medicaid waiver that can fund respite, therapies and in-home support. The typical wait is 3–7 years, and your place is usually set by the date you apply — so applying early matters even if you are unsure what services you need. Many waivers also disregard parental income, so families who don't qualify for regular Medicaid often still qualify here.
What if I can't find an autism provider in Salt Lake County?
If none of the Salt Lake County providers is the right fit, these Utah counties currently have the most listed providers: Utah County (79), Davis County (54), Weber County (46), Cache County (34). Many providers travel or offer telehealth, so it is worth calling even if they are not based nearby. You can also tell us about a provider we are missing.
