North Carolina’s Trusted In-Home ABA Support

I have three children. Two are grown adults (a 29-year-old son and a 25-year-old young lady), and my youngest son is 18. My youngest son was diagnosed with autism when he was 21 months old, which prompted my career change and my path to becoming a BCBA. I have been in the field since 2011 and became a behavior analyst in 2015
