Utah Behavior Services Addresses Rising Autism Rates with Expert Care

Utah Behavior Services ramps up its expert care and staffing to meet the surge in autism diagnoses across the state.

SALT LAKE CITY, UT, UNITED STATES, September 20, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- New statistics on the prevalence of Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as published by Neurology Advisor¹, underscore the growing need for specialized autism services, particularly for children. Utah Behavior Services (UTBS), a leading therapy centre dedicated to treating children with autism, addresses this urgent demand.

Recent statistics from the CDC's Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM)² highlight that approximately 1 in 36 children in the United States are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Additionally, it was found that about 37% of children with ASD also have psychiatric disorders such as anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), mood disorders, and more. These findings emphasize the growing need for specialized educational programs tailored to address the challenges associated with ASD.

“Understanding these statistics is crucial for communities and healthcare providers,” said Eric Larson, MBA Branding Director at Utah Behavior Services. “They guide us in scaling our services and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential through proven ABA therapy methods.”

With the increasing awareness and diagnosis rates, the role of specialized autism services becomes ever more critical. In response to the rising need, Utah Behavior Services has increased its capacity and scope of services. This includes programs focusing on early intervention, tailored behavioural plans, and continuous education for staff to ensure that they remain on the cutting edge of treatment methodologies. This proactive approach is designed to address the evolving needs of the autism community in Utah.

Moreover, the surge in diagnoses propelled Utah Behavior Services to enhance its capacity by expanding its team of dedicated professionals. This expansion is vital to their mission of proudly serving individuals and families with high-quality, evidenced-based behavioural health care services.
