Meet the Team Behind Your Child's Care
Every family works with a team of credentialed professionals dedicated to your child’s growth. Here are a few of the people leading that care in North Carolina.
Victoria holds a PhD in Applied Behavior Analysis and has been walking alongside individuals with autism and their families since 2015, board certified since 2018. Over the past decade she’s provided and supervised ABA therapy across home, school, clinic, and community settings, always staying close to the research so families get the best care possible. At heart, she’s driven by a simple belief: every family deserves care that’s both rigorous and genuinely kind.
With a decade of experience as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Sarah brings both deep clinical know-how and a warm, collaborative spirit to her role as Consulting Director. She believes the best ABA care is built on trust and real partnership with families, never a one-size-fits-all approach. Her focus is making sure every child and caregiver feels genuinely seen, supported, and heard.
Tanejah is a Registered Behavior Technician with over four years spent building trusting relationships with children and families across clinic and in-home settings. She loves mentoring fellow RBTs and works hand-in-hand with BCBAs so every family feels supported every step of the way. Above all, she’s passionate about meeting each child right where they are and celebrating every bit of progress along the way.
What ABA Therapy Helps Statesville Kids Learn
Communication Skills
Whether your child is nonverbal or struggling with language, ABA helps them express needs, ask questions, and connect with others.
Daily Living Skills
Getting dressed, brushing teeth, following routines—these skills build independence and make life easier for your whole family.
Social Interaction
Making friends, sharing, taking turns, reading social cues—ABA teaches the building blocks of meaningful relationships.
Emotional Regulation
When meltdowns happen, ABA gives your child tools to manage big feelings and respond to frustration in healthier ways.
Behavior Reduction
ABA doesn’t just stop challenging behaviors—it teaches replacement skills so your child can communicate what they need without aggression or self-injury.
School Readiness
Following instructions, sitting for tasks, transitioning between activities—these skills prepare your child for success in Statesville schools.
Our Statesville Promise
We know choosing an ABA provider is a big decision. You’ve probably heard promises before that didn’t match reality. Here’s what you can actually count on from Kennedy ABA in Statesville:
-
Your Therapist Shows Up Consistently
We assign dedicated RBTs to your family and keep them there. Your child builds real trust with their therapist. When cancellations happen (rarely), we reschedule immediately—not weeks later. -
We Handle Insurance Completely
You won't chase authorizations or decipher claims. We verify coverage, submit paperwork, get approvals, and manage renewals. Insurance headaches are ours, not yours. -
You'll Know What's Happening
No therapy behind closed doors while you wonder about progress. We share data, explain strategies, and keep you informed every step. You're part of the team, not just an observer. -
Progress Stalls? We Change Course.
If your child isn't progressing after a reasonable time, we adjust the plan. We troubleshoot, modify strategies, and try new approaches. We don't keep doing what isn't working.
This is what gold-standard means to us—not just proven techniques, but real accountability to Statesville families.

Frequently Asked Questions About ABA in Statesville
How do I know if my child needs ABA therapy?
If your child has an autism diagnosis or struggles with communication, social interaction, daily routines, or challenging behaviors, ABA can help. Children at any developmental stage can benefit, but early intervention often yields the best outcomes. Our BCBA will assess your child’s specific needs during the initial evaluation.
Does insurance cover ABA therapy in Statesville?
Yes. In North Carolina, Medicaid and most major insurance providers cover ABA therapy for children with autism diagnoses. Kennedy ABA works with all major insurers and handles the entire approval process—from authorization to ongoing claims. We’ll verify your benefits upfront so there are no surprise costs.
How long does ABA therapy take to show results?
Every child progresses at their own pace, but many Statesville families see positive changes within the first few weeks—better eye contact, following instructions, reduced meltdowns. More significant milestones like improved communication and independence typically develop over months. We track progress closely and adjust strategies to maintain momentum.
Will I be involved in my child's therapy?
Absolutely. ABA works best when families and therapists work together. We’ll set goals that matter to you, discuss progress, and celebrate wins as a team. You can participate in sessions as much as you want, and we provide parent training so you can support your child’s progress throughout the day.
Do you provide therapy at home, school, or both?
Both. We meet your child where they need support most. Some families prefer in-home therapy, others need school-based support, and many benefit from both. We work with you to determine the best setting for your child’s goals.
How many hours of therapy will my child need?
It depends on your child’s individual needs and goals. Some children thrive with 10-15 hours per week, others benefit from more intensive support. Your BCBA will recommend hours based on assessment results, and insurance typically determines final authorization.
What if my child doesn't respond well to therapy?
Our BCBAs are trained to adjust strategies based on what works for each child. If something isn’t clicking, we troubleshoot and modify the approach. Progress looks different for every child, and we’re committed to finding what works for yours.
What ages does Kennedy ABA work with?
We work with children from early intervention age (as young as 18 months) through the teenage years. Early intervention tends to produce the strongest outcomes, but it’s never too late to start — we’ve seen meaningful progress in children who began therapy at 10, 12, or older. Your child’s BCBA will tailor the treatment plan to their specific age and developmental stage, whether that means play-based learning for toddlers or school-readiness and social skills for older kids.
How soon can we start therapy?
Most Statesville families start therapy within 2-4 weeks of their first call. That timeline covers insurance verification, your initial assessment with a BCBA, and building your personalized treatment plan. We move as quickly as possible because we know waiting is hard when your child needs support now — reach out today and we’ll walk you through exactly what to expect.
