ABA therapy can begin as early as 18 months to 2 years old, and starting early often leads to stronger results. That said, children of all ages benefit from ABA, and there is no point at which it becomes too late to help. Our BCBAs assess each child individually to gauge readiness and design a plan that matches their developmental stage. Whether your child is a toddler in Wendell Falls or already attending Lake Myra Elementary, we tailor the approach to where they are now.

Sessions happen wherever they make the most sense for your child’s goals. For many families, that means in-home therapy in neighborhoods like Foxborough Crossing or Anderson Farm, where children learn in familiar surroundings. When it supports the plan, we also run community-based sessions at places such as Wendell Park or coordinate school-based support with Wake County campuses. The setting follows the goal rather than the other way around.

Yes, with your permission and the school’s approval, our team can work alongside educators in the Wake County Public School System. That coordination might involve aligning behavioral strategies with classroom routines at Wendell Elementary or Wendell Middle School, supporting consistency between an IEP and your child’s therapy goals, and keeping communication open between teachers and your BCBA. The aim is a school day and a therapy plan that pull in the same direction.

Every program is overseen by a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst, who completes the assessment, designs the treatment plan, sets goals, and adjusts the approach as your child progresses. A Registered Behavior Technician then delivers the day-to-day sessions under that BCBA’s supervision, working directly with your child on targeted skills. You stay informed throughout, with regular updates and strategies you can carry into your own routines.

Consistency matters more than almost anything in ABA, and long commutes work against it. Keeping therapy close to home in Wendell means fewer missed sessions, less disruption to your child’s routine, and a team that understands eastern Wake County family life, from the growth around Wendell Falls to the commute patterns toward the Triangle. Local care also makes it easier to practice skills in the actual community spaces your child visits each week.

Frequency and session length depend on your child’s needs, goals, and the recommendations from their assessment. Some children benefit from focused, shorter programs while others do better with more intensive weekly hours. Your BCBA explains the reasoning behind the recommended schedule and adjusts it as your child grows. We also build timing around the after-school and evening windows that fit busy Wendell family routines.

Progress in ABA is measured, not guessed. Your child’s team collects data at every session and reviews it regularly to confirm that goals are being met and to adjust anything that isn’t working. You receive ongoing updates in plain language, and over time you’ll see the changes show up in daily life, whether that’s clearer communication, smoother transitions, or more confidence in new settings. We celebrate the small wins because they’re what add up to lasting change.
