ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is a science-based therapy that helps individuals with autism build communication, social, and daily living skills. We do not provide therapy directly; instead, we match you to vetted providers who accept your insurance, including NC Medicaid.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in North Carolina

North Carolina's Medicaid program (NC Medicaid) covers ABA therapy for eligible children and adolescents under 21 with an autism diagnosis. Many private insurance plans in the state also include ABA benefits, especially those regulated under North Carolina's autism insurance mandate.

Our matching service works with providers who accept both private insurance and NC Medicaid. We help you verify your coverage and connect with providers who are in-network, reducing out-of-pocket costs.

In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in New Hanover County

Families in New Hanover County can choose from a range of ABA service models. In-home therapy allows children to learn in their natural environment, while center-based programs offer structured settings with peers and specialized resources. Telehealth options are also available for parent training or direct therapy in some cases.

The service you select depends on your child's needs, your family's schedule, and provider availability. We can help you explore local options in Wilmington and across the county.

What to look for in an ABA provider

When choosing an ABA provider, look for BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) supervision, individualized treatment plans, and a focus on positive reinforcement. Ensure the provider has experience with your child's age group and specific goals, and that they communicate openly with your family.

Also consider location, session hours, and whether they accept your insurance. Our matching service vets providers for credentials and quality, so you can feel confident in your options.
