Getting an autism diagnosis in Asheville

Most Asheville families start with an evaluation

If your child hasn't been evaluated yet, ask your pediatrician for a referral to Mission Health or a local developmental pediatrician. That's where most Asheville families begin. Once you have a diagnosis, we can start therapy within 2–4 weeks. Read: "How to get an autism diagnosis in North Carolina" and "First steps after diagnosis."

Geography matters in Asheville

Geography shouldn't matter. But it does in Asheville.

Asheville sits in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I-40, mountain roads, spreading terrain. A clinic appointment means driving time, your child arriving dysregulated before therapy starts. In-home therapy eliminates that. We come to you, downtown Asheville, South Asheville, nearby areas. Therapy happens where your child needs the skills.

Consistent care from the same BCBA

Your child works with the same clinician every time

Real clinicians with real roots here. Meet the team. Each BCBA carries a smaller caseload. Your child isn't a number rotating through a roster. Same therapist every session.

What Asheville families say about Apex ABA

Jonathan Clark

I was dreading the insurance process. I've spent hours on hold before, only to get surprise bills later. Apex handled literally everything. It was seamless.

Rebecca and Steven Norton

Our son's behavior challenges were so severe we thought we'd never manage normal outings. With Apex's support and strategies, we're actually going places as a family again.
