About Autism Services Locator
Autism Services Locator is an innovative application designed to connect parents with Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Autism Evaluation providers tailored to their unique needs and goals. Our platform was created with a deep understanding of the challenges faced by families seeking different types of services.
Our Story
Jordan Williamson, a parent of Autistic children, experienced firsthand the frustration of navigating complex healthcare systems to find suitable providers. This personal journey sparked the mission to simplify the process for families starting in Utah and expanding to other states.
Our Purpose
We aim to empower parents by providing a comprehensive directory of providers, searchable through various criteria. Our platform allows users to connect directly with providers via contact information or website links, bypassing the often time-consuming process of relying solely on insurance recommendations.
Why Choose Autism Services Locator?
While Google searches can be helpful, they may not always yield the most relevant local results. Our application is specifically designed to streamline your search for different types of services, saving you valuable time and effort.
