Does my child need a diagnosis to start ABA therapy?
A formal autism diagnosis is often needed for insurance to authorize ABA therapy. If you are not sure what documentation is required, True U ABA encourages families to reach out early so the intake team can help explain next steps, required documents, and assessment authorization.
Do you offer in-home ABA therapy?
Yes. True U ABA provides in-home ABA therapy services in North Carolina. Therapy can take place in the environment where your child feels most comfortable and may support communication, social skills, behavior skills, emotional regulation, toileting, mealtime routines, hygiene, daily living skills, independence, and household safety.
Can therapy happen in daycare, school, or community settings?
Yes. Community-based ABA therapy may take place in daycares, preschools, private schools, after-school programs, playgrounds, libraries, summer camps, community outings, and other settings when appropriate for your child’s goals and approved by the setting.
Do you provide caregiver training?
Yes. Caregiver training and family support are part of ABA therapy services at True U ABA. Parents, grandparents, babysitters, guardians, and other important caregivers can learn practical strategies that help reinforce skills throughout everyday routines.
Do you accept Medicaid and most insurance plans?
The source content states “Medicaid and Most Insurances Accepted.” If you do not see your insurance provider listed, the intake team can help explore available coverage options, discuss next steps with your family, and determine whether out-of-network billing or another insurance option may be possible.
How do we get started?
Start by contacting True U ABA. You will be paired with a dedicated Intake Coordinator who helps gather documents, sends simple forms, works with your insurance provider to request authorization for your child’s assessment, and keeps you informed through the process.
