ABA therapy FAQs for Wake Forest families

Questions parents ask

  • Does insurance cover ABA therapy in Wake Forest?

    Blue Jay ABA has partnered with many insurance providers and manages the entire approval process, making in-home ABA therapy affordable and easy to access. You can check if we have partnered with your insurance company here. For those without approved coverage, we offer reasonable and convenient payment plans to help reduce the financial burden of ABA therapy.

  • How quickly can we start therapy?

    Center-based ABA therapy is conducted in a clinical setting designed for structured learning and social interaction with peers, providing a controlled environment for skill development. In contrast, home-based ABA therapy takes place in the child's own home, allowing for the integration of skills into daily routines and promoting generalization in a familiar setting. The choice between the two depends on the child’s specific needs, family preferences, and goals.

  • Do you work with Wake County Public Schools?

    Yes. We coordinate with teachers, attend IEP meetings, and work with the WCPSS Exceptional Children's program to ensure therapy supports classroom success.

  • What areas of Wake Forest do you serve?

  • Will we have the same therapist every time?

    Yes. Consistency matters. Your child works with the same Registered Behaviour Technician at every session, supervised by the same BCBA.

  • How many hours per week will my child need?

    Parents play an active role in ABA therapy by observing sessions, applying learned strategies at home, and reinforcing skills. They work closely with therapists to set goals and monitor progress, ensuring their child’s development is on track.

  • What if I work in Raleigh or RTP during the day?

    We offer flexible scheduling including early morning, evening, and weekend sessions to work around Triangle commutes and busy family schedules.

  • Can therapy happen at school and at home?

    Yes. Many families do both. Home sessions for daily routines, school-based support for classroom skills.Yes. Many families do both. Home sessions for daily routines, school-based support for classroom skills.
