Fast enrollment, no waiting

Most Rome families start therapy within 2–4 weeks of their first call. We handle the insurance paperwork, secure authorization quickly, and don't make you wait months to begin.

What we'll work on together

Having a child with autism is challenging no matter where you live. The good news? Charlotte has a solid network of resources beyond ABA therapy, from diagnosis centers to parent groups where you can actually talk to people who get it.

Stronger communication skills

Teaching your child to ask for what they need, express how they feel, and connect with people around them.

Better social skills

Building friendships, taking turns, reading social cues, and navigating interactions with peers confidently.

Greater independence

Daily routines like getting dressed, brushing teeth, or following a schedule—skills that make life easier for your whole family.

Fewer challenging behaviors

Understanding what drives meltdowns, aggression, or refusal, and replacing those behaviors with skills that work.

At Kennedy ABA, we build on what Charlotte already offers. Our ABA therapists in Charlotte come to your home and work with your child’s school so support happens everywhere it matters.

FAQ

Questions Rome families are asking

How do I know if ABA therapy is right for my child?

If your child struggles with communication, behavior, daily routines, or social skills, ABA therapy can make a difference. Let’s talk about what’s happening with your child specifically—no sales pitch, just real conversation about what might help.

Do you accept insurance in Rome?

Yes. We accept Georgia Medicaid and most major insurance plans, including Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, Peach State Health Plan, and UnitedHealthcare. We’ll verify your coverage upfront and explain any costs.

How long does ABA therapy take?

It depends on your child’s needs and goals. Some children work with us for six months, others for a year or longer. But you’ll always know where they stand, what we’re working on, and why—no unclear timelines.

Will someone really come to my Rome home?

Yes. That’s where therapy happens—in your home, where your child is most comfortable and where the skills we’re building actually matter in everyday life.

Can you work with my child's school in Rome?

Absolutely. We coordinate with schools throughout Rome. We can provide therapy on-site or work with teachers and staff to keep everyone aligned.

What if my child doesn't connect with the therapist?

We’ll find someone who does. Progress depends on trust and connection. If it’s not working, we make a change—no questions asked.

What if we're not seeing progress?

We track data every single session. If progress stalls, we adjust our approach right away. ABA is flexible and responsive—we don’t keep doing the same thing hoping for different results.

How many hours of therapy will my child need?

It depends on your child’s needs and goals. Some children benefit from 10–15 hours per week, while others may need 25–40 hours. We’ll recommend what makes sense for your family after the assessment.
