Getting an autism diagnosis in Jacksonville

Most Jacksonville families start with an evaluation

If your child hasn't been evaluated yet, ask your pediatrician for a referral to Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune, Onslow County Health Department, or a local developmental pediatrician. That's where most Jacksonville 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 Jacksonville

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

Jacksonville is a military community home to Camp Lejeune. US-17, spreading neighborhoods, coastal area. A clinic appointment means driving time, your child arriving dysregulated before therapy starts. In-home therapy eliminates that. We come to you, Jacksonville, 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.
