In-home ABA therapy in Raleigh, Durham and the Triangle

Whether you live in Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Wake Forest, Knightdale, Garner, Clayton, the Bull City or Chapel Hill, life in the Triangle is busy, and adding a daily drive to a therapy clinic can be hard. Our Triangle team brings ABA therapy to your home instead. A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) works one-on-one with your child, and a BCBA designs the plan, supervises sessions and coaches you along the way.

At home, therapy is woven into play, meals and transitions rather than hours at a table. Your child builds communication, daily living and social skills in the place they’ll use them most, and you learn the strategies alongside them.

How to start in-home ABA therapy with our Triangle team

1. Call or send a message. Tell our Triangle team about your child and what you hope therapy will help with. We’ll answer your questions and check your insurance.
2. 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.
3. Plan and authorization. Your BCBA writes a personalized treatment plan, and our office team handles the insurance authorization before therapy begins.
4. Therapy at home. A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) works one-on-one with your child at home, with regular parent coaching from your BCBA.
