Getting an autism diagnosis in Charlotte

Most Charlotte families start with an evaluation

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

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

Charlotte is sprawling. I-77, I-85, traffic everywhere. Uptown to the suburbs is 30 minutes minimum. A clinic appointment means driving time, your child arriving dysregulated before therapy starts. In-home therapy eliminates that. We come to you, South Charlotte, Concord, Matthews. 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.

Real parent experiences with ABA therapy in Charlotte

What Charlotte families say about Apex ABA

Zevi Hofstatter

Our daughter looks forward to her sessions, which says everything. From day one, Emily walked us through intake with so much care and clarity. Insurance, scheduling, expectations, all of it. The whole experience has been a bright spot for our family.

Marcus and Jennifer Chen

My son's communication skills have improved dramatically. He was barely talking six months ago. Now he's asking for things, answering questions, even telling jokes. His therapist didn't just work with him, she worked with us. That made all the difference.
