Frequently Asked Questions & Answer
Got a Question? We’ve the Answer! you’ll find answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about ABA Therapy Services.
Is ABA Therapy Helpful for High-Functioning Autism?
Yes, ABA therapy works well for children with high-functioning autism too. It focuses on reinforcing positive behaviors while reducing patterns that get in the way of daily life, and the approach is fully individualized to each child’s strengths and challenges. A consultation with our clinical team helps determine whether ABA therapy fits your child’s specific needs.
What Therapies Does AutismCOE Provide in Goldsboro?
In Goldsboro, families have access to ABA therapy, early intervention services, a school readiness program, and parent training. Most families start with core ABA services, with treatment plans built around each child’s individual goals and needs.
Do You Help with Speech and Communication?
Yes. Communication challenges are one of the most common reasons families reach out to us, and not every child we support has an autism diagnosis. Rather than focusing on labels, our BCBA-led team builds treatment goals around exactly where each child needs support, whether that’s expressive language, social communication, or following directions.
What Happens During ABA Therapy Sessions?
Every session looks a little different depending on the child. Some focus on play-based learning, others on daily routines, social skills, or behavior goals. Our therapists spend time learning what motivates your child, then use positive reinforcement to build skills during everyday moments, not just structured “therapy time.”
What Age Should a Child Start ABA Therapy?
Earlier intervention often leads to stronger long-term outcomes, but there’s no strict cutoff. Many children begin around age two, while others start later and still make meaningful progress. Older children and teens can benefit from ABA therapy as well, just with goals suited to their stage of development.
Can Parents Be Involved in Therapy Sessions?
Absolutely, and we encourage it. Parents are welcome to observe sessions, ask questions, and learn the strategies our therapists use so those skills carry over naturally between visits. Parent training is a core part of how we measure lasting progress.
Do You Provide ABA Therapy in Goldsboro?
Yes, AutismCOE provides ABA therapy to families throughout Goldsboro. Our team works closely with each child to address real-life situations as they happen, and every session stays personalized around what helps that child engage and learn best.
Where Can My Child Get Tested for an Autism Diagnosis?
AutismCOE offers autism diagnostic evaluations conducted by a Licensed Clinical Psychologist using established, gold-standard assessment tools. A formal diagnosis can open access to ABA therapy, early intervention services, and school accommodations such as an IEP or 504 plan, so families in Goldsboro don’t have to navigate the diagnostic process alone.
What Causes Autism?
There’s no single known cause of autism. Research points to a combination of genetic, biological, and environmental factors that contribute to a child’s likelihood of developing autism spectrum disorder.
Do You Offer a School Readiness Program in Goldsboro?
Yes. Our school readiness program helps children preparing for preschool or kindergarten build classroom routines, follow directions, manage transitions, and strengthen social skills, so the first days of school feel far less overwhelming.
Does My Child Need a Formal Autism Diagnosis?
A diagnosis is typically required to begin ABA treatment and to access most insurance coverage for services. Our AutismCOE Diagnostics team can guide your family through the evaluation process and help identify your child’s specific needs for both treatment planning and insurance authorization.
What Ages Does AutismCOE Treat?
We work with children between 18 months and 14 years old, a developmental window that offers strong opportunities for meaningful growth and skill-building.
Does ABA Therapy Cure Autism?
No. Autism is a lifelong condition, but ABA therapy helps children build communication skills, reduce challenging behaviors, and reach their fullest potential.
Do You Work with Schools Too?
When appropriate, yes. Our team can coordinate with teachers and school staff so expectations stay consistent between therapy and the classroom, which helps reduce confusion for the child.
