ABA Therapy in Wake Forest, NC for Teens and Young Adults
In-home, school-based, and community ABA therapy in Wake Forest for ages 7 to 21. BCBA-owned, caregiver training included in every plan, and no upper age cut-off at twelve.
The clinic said your teenager aged out. We did not.
Wake Forest is the largest town next to us, and it is where we hear the same story most often: a family got ABA services when their child was four or five, the services tapered off somewhere around elementary school, and now there is a fourteen-year-old at home whose needs have changed completely and nobody is returning the call.
That is the gap this practice exists to fill. We start at seven and stay through twenty-one. For a teenager, that means programming that looks nothing like a toddler’s — less sitting at a table, more working on the things that decide whether a young adult gets to have some independence. Managing a routine without a prompt for every step. Handling frustration without it becoming an incident. Holding a conversation with a coworker. Getting through a store.
Wake Forest also has a real mix of schools — traditional public, charter, and private — and where a student is enrolled changes what school-based support is possible. We will tell you straight what we can and cannot do in your child’s specific setting rather than promising something that falls apart in September.
Four settings, no clinic visit

Skill practice where it counts — downtown Wake Forest, shops, transit, gyms, and work placements.
Telehealth
Caregiver training and BCBA sessions by video, available anywhere in North Carolina, subject to your plan's rules.
We train the adults, not just the client
Every plan we write in Wake Forest includes training for the people around the client — parents, caregivers, and where it is appropriate the young adult themselves. Sessions typically run one to two hours.
This is not a value-add we mention and then quietly skip. A behavior plan that only runs while a technician is standing in the room is a plan that collapses the week after discharge. If you are going to be the one managing a morning routine for the next decade, you should be trained on it.
- Supervision equal to at least 10% of every technician's delivered hours
- A minimum of two BCBA contacts per client every month
- Supervision notes filed in the client record within 24 hours
- A deliberately small caseload: 6 to 8 clients per BCBA
