Raising Brilliance

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is one of the most widely funded autism therapies in North Carolina, but getting started in Raleigh usually means navigating an autism diagnosis, insurance approval, and a provider waitlist first.

The good news for Wake County families is real choice. Raleigh and the surrounding Triangle have a dense cluster of BCBA-supervised clinics, in-home providers, and hospital-affiliated programs, which tends to mean shorter waits than in rural parts of the state.

This page walks through what ABA is, how it is paid for here, and how to start. Treat everything below as a starting point, not legal or medical advice, and confirm details directly with each provider.
