Autism Resources in Durham, North Carolina

Durham anchors one corner of North Carolina's Research Triangle, and it is unusually rich in autism expertise for a city its size. It is home to the Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development, and families here are also served by the UNC TEACCH Autism Program — the pioneering, structured-teaching approach that started at UNC Chapel Hill next door. This guide covers how families find diagnosis, therapy, schools, and community locally, and how North Carolina's programs — the NC Infant-Toddler Program for the youngest children, the NC Innovations Waiver, and NC Medicaid — fit in.
