Getting an autism diagnosis in Durham
Most Durham families start with an evaluation
If your child hasn't been evaluated yet, ask your pediatrician for a referral to Duke Health or a local developmental pediatrician. That's where most Durham 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."
North Carolina Medicaid and insurance coverage
We handle the paperwork
North Carolina Medicaid
covers ABA therapy based on medical necessity. No annual cap. We verify, we authorize, you don't worry.
Commercial plans
Blue Cross Blue Shield, Trillium, Healthy Blue, Vaya Health, AmeriHealth Caritas, Partners, Wellcare, Optum, Alliance Health, and more.
Insurance shouldn't be another full-time job.
Geography matters in Durham
Geography shouldn't matter. But it does in Durham.
Durham sits in the Research Triangle. I-85, I-40, spreading neighborhoods. A clinic appointment means driving time, your child arriving dysregulated before therapy starts. In-home therapy eliminates that. We come to you, downtown Durham, Chapel Hill, South Durham. 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 mornings with ABA in Durham
Mornings don't have to be battles
Before
Before therapy, 7 a.m. means meltdowns.
After
After? Your therapist arrives at 8:15, no commute, no traffic. By 8:45, your child is working on transitions while your therapist celebrates every small win.
