Utah Autism Academy

"Utah Autism Academy was recognized as the Agency of the Year in 2015 by the Autism Council of Utah and the reason why is clear. Utah Autism Academy employees are passionate about helping the individuals they serve and they are dedicated to making a difference. The level of training and support employees receive is not only evident in the day to day interactions with clients, but also when analyzing their overall progress.

Utah Autism Academy is a great place to work and a great place for individuals with autism to learn."

"UAA is a meaningful and fulfilling place to work because there are many opportunities for me to grow professionally while also allowing me to grow my passion for working with individuals who have Autism and their families.

"The training I’ve received through UAA has only enhanced these sentiments, and has empowered me by giving me a good understanding of what will improve the quality of life for these kids. I trust my colleagues feel the same and I love seeing the hard work paying off and the progress that the children make. Sure, some days are harder than others, but even the worst days at UAA are still the best days I’ve ever had."
