What Is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to help children with autism develop meaningful skills and reduce behaviors that interfere with learning or safety.
ABA is one of the most researched interventions for children with autism. At North Carolina Behavior, treatment plans are developed and supervised by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), ensuring that therapy is individualized, measurable, and ethically guided.
ABA therapy is not a cure and does not change who a child is. Its goal is to help children build functional skills that improve daily life at home, in school, and in the community, while supporting development and honoring each child’s unique way of experiencing and interacting with the world.
Who We Support
North Carolina Behavior provides ABA therapy services for:
Children and adolescents ages 18 months to 21 years
Kids with a confirmed autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis
Families with North Carolina Medicaid or private insurance
We partner closely with parents and caregivers to identify skill gaps and develop structured, individualized programs that align with each child’s developmental needs and family priorities.
How ABA Therapy Works
Comprehensive Assessment
A BCBA conducts an in-depth assessment to understand your child’s strengths, challenges, and developmental level.
Individualized Treatment Plan
A personalized plan is created with measurable goals targeting communication, adaptive skills, social development, and behavior support.
Skill Development
Therapy sessions focus on practical, meaningful skills taught step-by-step in natural environments such as the home or school setting.
Parent Collaboration
Parent involvement is a key component. We provide guidance and training so strategies can be reinforced consistently outside of sessions.
Progress is reviewed regularly, and treatment plans are adjusted based on data and clinical supervision.
