Getting an autism diagnosis in Cary

Most Cary families start with an evaluation

If your child hasn't been evaluated yet, ask your pediatrician for a referral to WakeMed or a local developmental pediatrician. That's where most Cary 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 Cary

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

Cary is a planned suburb of Raleigh with spreading neighborhoods. I-40, I-540, traffic from Durham. A clinic appointment means driving time, your child arriving dysregulated before therapy starts. In-home therapy eliminates that. We come to you, downtown Cary, North Cary, South Cary. 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 Cary families say about Apex ABA

Christopher Lopez

My son's communication skills have really improved since he started with Apex. He used to have a hard time telling us what he wanted, but now he's able to communicate much better. We're so happy with the progress being made.
