ABA therapy can be life-changing, but without insurance, families often wonder about the cost. In North Carolina, out-of-pocket rates typically range from $120 to $200 per hour, depending on provider experience, location, and service type. A full-time therapy schedule often 20 to 40 hours per week can total $2,400 to $8,000 monthly.
Costs may vary based on whether services are delivered in-home, in-clinic, or via telehealth. Some providers offer sliding scale fees, payment plans, or reduced rates for limited sessions. It’s also worth exploring grants, Medicaid waivers, or nonprofit support programs.
While the investment is significant, ABA therapy builds essential skills in communication, behavior, and independence especially when started early. Understanding your options helps you plan wisely and advocate for your child’s needs.
