Why Cary families choose Epic Minds
We come to you
Cary parents already spend a good part of the week driving. Your therapist comes to your house, works in your child's own rooms, and leaves. No crossing town at four in the afternoon with a worn-out child in the back seat.
Your child keeps the same therapist
Consistency is one of the strongest predictors of progress in ABA. We keep caseloads small enough that your child sees the same face every session, and your BCBA adjusts the plan week to week rather than only at reauthorization.
Insurance is sorted before day one
We verify your coverage, including NC Medicaid through Alliance Health, and handle prior authorization ourselves. You'll know exactly what to expect before your child's first session.
ABA therapy services available in Cary, NC
In-home ABA therapy
Sessions happen at your home, on your schedule. Your child learns in the environment they know best, and skills carry over faster when they're built in the place they're needed. Sessions typically run two to four hours.
Autism assessment and diagnosis
Waiting for an evaluation is what holds most families up. We work with a diagnostic partner offering virtual assessments, with most families scheduled within two to three weeks.
Telehealth ABA therapy
Live sessions and parent coaching over video, for families whose weeks don't leave room for anything else.
School Collaboration
We coordinate with Wake County Public School System so classroom goals and therapy goals point the same direction. If there's an IEP meeting coming up, tell us before it's scheduled rather than after.
Parent and caregiver training
Your BCBA works with you, not just your child, so progress keeps moving between sessions.
Community-based ABA
Skills have to work at the grocery store, at the park, and in the school pickup line. Community sessions practice those moments in real settings.
What ABA therapy helps with in Cary
When communication breaks down, routines fall apart, or big emotions take over the day, that's exactly where ABA is designed to help. Every program is built around what your child specifically needs, using methods grounded in the science of behavior analysis.

Before you call, here's what most families ask
Does insurance cover ABA therapy here?
Usually, yes. NC Medicaid covers ABA under the EPSDT benefit for children with an autism diagnosis, and most commercial plans cover it too. Wake County Medicaid runs through Alliance Health. We verify your specific plan and tell you exactly where you stand.
What if my child hasn't been diagnosed yet?
That's common and it isn't a barrier to calling. We work with a diagnostic partner offering virtual evaluations, with most families scheduled within two to three weeks.
Do you coordinate with Wake County schools?
Yes. Wake County Public School System is one of the largest districts in the country and IEP meetings move quickly. Tell us before yours is scheduled and we can be in the room with you.
How quickly can my child get started?
Once we have your insurance details and a diagnosis, we move as fast as authorization allows. Call and we'll give you a realistic timeline.
What areas do you cover?
Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Holly Springs, and the surrounding Wake County communities. Call us if you're not sure about your address.
Can you work with toddlers?
Yes. We work with children from age 1, and earlier intervention consistently leads to faster, more durable progress.
