Our Wilmington ABA therapists work with individuals and families to develop custom treatment plans that enhance quality of life. We help our clients express their wants and needs, reduce unsafe behaviors, increase coping and social skills, and increase their independence. Services are offered in a Wilmington clinic as well as in your home or community.
We identify and prioritize your loved one’s learning style, interest, and goals.
Our process always involves the client and the caregiver, and your team includes an experienced group of professionals who work together.
We believe learning should be enjoyable, and many of our techniques use play.
We come to you, so your loved one can learn in an environment familiar and comfortable to them, practicing skills where they will use them.
We offer clinic-based ABA services for children aged 2-6 in Wilmington. Sessions are three hours in duration and are offered in both morning (9 a.m.- 12 p.m.) and midday (12-3 p.m.) time slots based on the availability of a cohort of similar age and skill-range peers.
This program for early learners develops school readiness skills in a small group setting. Some examples of skills targeted include following a routine in a group, participating in age-appropriate group activities (e.g., crafts, learning activities, games), developing one-on-one friendship skills with peers (e.g., parallel play, sharing, communicating preferences, cooperating with others), and building self-advocacy skills in a small-group environment.
We offer social connection groups for individuals ages 9-12 and 13-16 years old in Wilmington.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) teaches skills that help individuals build happy, safe lives. Our ABA program prioritizes the values and goals of each individual to ensure that the skills taught are appropriate. By using ABA, many individuals are able to improve communication, decrease unsafe behavior, and become more independent at home, school, work, and in the community.
The Autism Society of North Carolina (ASNC) ABA is an in-network provider for many insurers, such as BC/BSNC, Aetna, and United Healthcare. ASNC is an in-network provider with all Tailored Plans (LME/MCOs) that manage behavioral health needs in NC. Medicaid funds ABA for children and adults (with no age cap). We also provide treatment through private-pay arrangements. Questions? Contact us and we’ll help.
Your ASNC ABA team will include Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who conduct assessments, design treatment plans, and supervise Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). Our BCBAs have low caseloads so they can focus on spending time with families. RBTs provide direct instruction in the home and community on a consistent basis based on the plan. BCBAs and RBTs are supported by our clinical leadership team. Additionally, our BCBAs collaborate regularly to ensure the best treatment plan for every individual.
Most importantly, we consider family members and caregivers an essential part of the team. We work with individuals and families in developing and implementing the plan and provide training and coaching to help you encourage progress. We will also consult with team members at schools, occupational and speech-language therapists, medical professionals, and more.
ABA is good teaching, and good teaching happens when a person is relaxed and content. For many learners, the home provides a good place to practice daily living skills and learn through play. We come to you so that your loved one isn’t stressed by a new environment or travel.
Every person is different, so after conducting an assessment and observations, our team will make a recommendation on the frequency and length of services in a week. We want our clients to be content and enjoy learning, so we are sensitive to age and level of engagement while ensuring that teaching is done regularly and consistently.
