Is your child showing signs of autism?
Wondering how to get your child tested for autism or where to begin an early autism evaluation? At Action Behavior Centers, we are here to help you navigate the autism evaluation process so your child can access the care they need when they need it.
The first step is completing a simple online autism screening tool for children of all ages. If screening results suggest your child may be at risk for autism, we offer in-person assessments like the ADOS-2 for children ages 18 months to 6 years old. Access to care is important to us, and our autism screenings and ADOS-2 assessments are completed at no cost.
We've got spots open right now for children to begin ABA therapy at our Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, centers.

The staff here is on point! I would highly recommend registering in this ABA program. Our son is 4 years old and has shown major improvement since he’s been enrolled (1.5 months). Never have had a bad experience, all of the therapists here are very good with all children from what I’ve witnessed. The director always greets us at the door at drop off and pick up with a very positive attitude. We have really enjoyed the warmth from this center! Our child has progressed very well in the little time that he has attended. Would rate 10 stars if possible! If you’re looking for a kind and compassionate environment for your children, would definitely consider ABC.

Frequently asked questions
What is ABA therapy, and how does it work?
Applied behavior analysis therapy is a proven approach for helping children with autism build new skills and reduce behaviors that can make learning more difficult. Through our Pennsylvania ABA therapy, children diagnosed with ASD can improve their communication, develop self-care routines, and learn emotion regulation skills. Our ABA therapists use positive reinforcement and personalized strategies to support each child’s growth. We work closely with families to help children reach their goals and build the skills they need for the future.
Does ABA therapy work for autism?
Yes! Every child with autism is unique, and some children experience more significant progress with ABA therapy than others. However, studies show that children who receive two or more years of intensive behavioral interventions, such as ABA therapy, can often participate in school and social activities at the same level as their peers.
Does ABA therapy mean my child is “stuck” at a table all day repeating the same tasks?
No way! At Action Behavior Centers, we create an exciting environment for learning. While sitting at a table may be a developmental goal for school readiness, there are so many other skills to learn and fun to have.
Our autism treatment centers feature designated “Eats and Crafts” spaces that are used daily for exciting activities. Circle Time, another daily event, brings therapists, BCBAs, and children together to sing, laugh, and learn. Children can also participate in energetic, therapist-led activities like group exercises and sensory rooms.
