In-home ABA therapy

Your child learns where they're most comfortable—at home, during breakfast, bath time, bedtime, the moments that matter most. Your therapist comes to you and works during your real routines because skills learned where your child actually lives are skills that stick.

Parent training and coaching

You become the expert on your child. We teach you the strategies, show you why they work, and coach you through real moments so you're confident supporting your child long after therapy ends.

In-school support

Your child doesn't have to navigate school alone. Our therapists work alongside them in the classroom, at recess, during lunch—the places where your child spends most of their day—so they can participate, learn, and build confidence with their peers.

Your child's therapy sessions (10-25 hours per week depending on needs and what insurance approves), the BCBA who develops and supervises the treatment plan, ongoing assessment and adjustments as your child progresses, and in-home therapy depending on what works for your family. Blossom handles the prior authorization so your insurance company reviews and approves the treatment plan before therapy starts, and the process typically takes 2-4 weeks in North Carolina.

What North Carolina families say about Blossom ABA

Real feedback from parents

Sarah, Charlotte

Our BCBA actually listened to what we needed instead of just telling us what to do. She understood our family and our situation. That made all the difference.

Marcus and Jennifer, Raleigh

Terranesha Howard

The insurance process was stressful until Blossom got involved. They verified coverage, submitted everything, and our daughter was in therapy within weeks instead of months. They handled it so we didn't have to.

I have truly enjoyed working with Hannah Hayes and Kelli Hooker- Hawkins. Hannah is a great BCBA that observes my daughter carefully and give the best advise on how to combat behavioral issues. Kelli is a great RBT with years of experience and truly loves the kids that she works with. I couldn’t ask for a better team.

Amanda, Greensboro

Terranesha Howard

Our therapist is consistent and our son has built real trust with her. She's not just going through motions—she genuinely cares about his progress and celebrates his wins with us.

David, Durham

Blossom included parent training without charging us extra because they said parent training was essential. Most places don't do that. It made a huge difference in what we could do at home.
