In-home ABA therapy in Charlotte, NC
Empire ABA’s Charlotte metro team brings one-on-one ABA therapy for children with autism into your home. Every plan is led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, and we accept Medicaid and most major insurance.
Our Charlotte team provides ABA therapy where your child is most at ease: at home. A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) works one-on-one with your child, and a BCBA builds the plan around your goals, supervises the work and meets with you regularly.
Because sessions happen in your home, the skills your child practices are the ones your family needs every day, from communicating wants and needs to bedtime routines and getting out the door in the morning.
How to start in-home ABA therapy with our Charlotte team
- Call or send a message. Tell our Charlotte team about your child and what you hope therapy will help with. We’ll answer your questions and check your insurance.
- Assessment at home. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) visits your home to get to know your child: their strengths, what’s hard right now, and your goals.
- Plan and authorization. Your BCBA writes a personalized treatment plan, and our office team handles the insurance authorization before therapy begins.
- Therapy at home. A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) works one-on-one with your child at home, with regular parent coaching from your BCBA.
