Fayetteville Families Trust Us

Rated 5/5 by Fayetteville Parents
"As a military family at Fort Liberty, we've moved five times in eight years. Finding consistent ABA therapy has always been our biggest challenge. This team got our son started within a week of our PCS, handled all the Tricare paperwork, and didn't skip a beat. He's thriving — and for the first time, a move didn't set him back months."

"We were on a six-month waitlist with another Fayetteville provider. A friend at Fort Liberty recommended this team, and our daughter started in-home therapy within two weeks. The therapist who comes to our home off Skibo Road is incredible — patient, creative, and genuinely invested in our girl's progress. NC Medicaid covers everything."

Parent, Fayetteville
"My husband deploys regularly and I was managing our son's therapy alone. This team didn't just help my son — they helped me. The parent training sessions taught me strategies I use every day. Our son went from daily meltdowns to asking for help with words. That's a miracle in our house."

ABA Therapy for Fayetteville's Military & Civilian Families

Fayetteville is North Carolina's sixth-largest city with over 209,000 residents, and its identity is inseparable from Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg) — the largest military installation in the world by population. Thousands of military families here navigate autism diagnoses while managing deployments, PCS moves, and the unique stressors of military life. Our ABA therapy program is built to serve both military and civilian families in Cumberland County with the flexibility, speed, and quality they deserve.

Cumberland County Schools (CCS), serving approximately 49,000 students, provides exceptional children's programs and autism support services. Many of our families' children attend CCS schools or DoDEA schools on post. Our ABA therapists coordinate with both systems to maintain consistency between therapy and classroom — critical for children who may change schools due to military relocations.

Fayetteville Neighborhoods We Serve

Our in-home ABA therapy program covers all of Cumberland County. We serve families throughout Skibo Road corridor, Haymount, Westover, Eutaw Village, Jack Britt area, Cliffdale, Seventy-First, Cross Creek, Hope Mills, Spring Lake, and Fort Liberty housing. Whether you live on post or off, our BCBA-certified therapists come to you.

Military Family ABA Services

We understand the unique challenges military families face when seeking autism services:

  • Tricare Accepted: We accept Tricare Prime, Tricare Select, and Tricare for Life. Our team handles all authorizations and referrals so you can focus on your family.
  • EFMP Support: We work with the Exceptional Family Member Program to ensure your child's ABA therapy is documented and transferable when you PCS.
  • Rapid Start: Military families can't wait months. We prioritize quick intake — most families start therapy within 1-2 weeks of first contact.
  • Deployment Support: When a parent deploys, routines change. Our therapists adjust schedules and strategies to support the whole family through transitions.
  • Womack Army Medical Center: We coordinate with Womack's developmental pediatrics team and the on-post EFMP office for comprehensive care.

Fayetteville Autism Resources

Fayetteville families have access to growing autism support resources including the Autism Society of NC — Sandhills Chapter (support groups and family events), Cape Fear Valley Health System (pediatric developmental evaluations), Fayetteville State University's Psychology Clinic, and the Airborne & Special Operations Museum which hosts sensory-friendly events.
