Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a science-based therapy that helps children with autism build communication, social, and daily living skills. We are not a clinic-we are a free referral service that helps you find the best fit for your family, whether in-home, at a center, or via telehealth. Most insurance plans and North Carolina Medicaid cover ABA.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in North Carolina

ABA therapy is widely covered by commercial insurance in North Carolina thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (enacted in 2015), which requires many health plans to include coverage for diagnosis and treatment, including ABA. For families with Medicaid, North Carolina's Managed Care plans cover ABA therapy when deemed medically necessary for children under 21.

If your child is under 3, the NC Infant-Toddler Program (Early Intervention) may help fund ABA services as part of a coordinated plan.

In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Johnston County

Johnston County families have options for how ABA is delivered. In-home therapy allows your child to learn in their natural environment, with strategies built into daily routines. Center-based programs in towns like Clayton, Smithfield, and Garner provide structured settings with peer interaction and supervised by BCBAs.

Telehealth ABA is also available, connecting your family with a BCBA for parent coaching and direct sessions. This is especially helpful for families in more rural parts of the county, such as Four Oaks or Kenly. Our service helps you explore all three modalities to find what works best for your child's needs and your schedule.
