Evidence-Led ABA Therapy
for Durham Kids

Applied behavior analysis is one of the most widely researched approaches for supporting children with autism. At The Lighthouse, every Durham program is designed and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and focuses on communication, social skills, daily living skills, and emotional regulation.

From Trinity Park to Southpoint, our Durham team supports children, teens, and young adults ages 2 to 21 as part of our ABA therapy services across North Carolina, whether your child was recently diagnosed or is preparing for the transition to adulthood.
