In-home ABA therapy in Jacksonville and Onslow County
Empire ABA’s Jacksonville team brings one-on-one ABA therapy for children with autism into homes across Onslow County, including the many military families stationed at Camp Lejeune and New River.
Our Jacksonville team serves families across Onslow County, from Jacksonville and Richlands to Swansboro on the edge of the Crystal Coast. Our BCBAs and RBTs live and work in the communities they serve, so your child gets consistent care from people who know the area.
Therapy happens in your home. A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) works one-on-one with your child, and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) designs the plan, supervises the work and coaches you, so the skills your child learns carry over into everyday family life.

- Therapy at home. A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) works one-on-one with your child at home, with regular parent coaching from your BCBA.

ABA therapy for military families
Military life brings its own challenges: a parent away on deployment, long training days, and the chance of a move every few years. In-home ABA removes the drive to a clinic and fits therapy around your family’s schedule, whatever the week looks like.
Parent coaching is part of every plan, so the parent at home has the strategies to keep progress going between sessions. If you receive orders to move, talk to us early and we’ll help you plan for what comes next.
