Our Services 


HANDS Center for Autism is a locally-owned practice that specializes in providing ABA therapy to children ages 2 to 10 on the autism spectrum. We serve families across North Carolina with evidence-based, scientifically backed therapeutic services and support for parents and caregivers. At HANDS, our approach focuses on assent-based care, prioritizing each child’s autonomy while building skills that generalize across settings.


Our experienced, board-certified clinical team is committed to helping children with autism strengthen communication, develop life skills, and gain independence. All staff at HANDS receive robust training to gain experience with clients who have a range of needs and learn from multiple Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA). 


HANDS maintains 100% clinical support from on-site BCBAs. At HANDS, our BCBAs collaborate with other providers involved in each child’s care as part of an integrated care model. Families receive ongoing clinical communication and parent training to support their child at home.

Testimonials

"I brought my daughter to HANDS after being told by her pediatrician she was showing signs of autism. I felt extremely hopeless and finding HANDS was a pivotal moment in our lives. The progress she has made in not even a year is astounding. They have not only helped my daughter, but me as well. The staff are knowledgeable, caring, patient, and encouraging. I wouldn’t want her anywhere else."

"Our family has been with HANDS Center for Autism for almost three years, and it has been incredible to watch my child flourish during that time. The team of RBTs and BCBAs have quite literally watched him grow, learn, and hit so many significant milestones. Because the staff is so attentive and loving, I have total peace of mind dropping him off for his sessions. Seeing him gain independence while being supported by people who truly care about him has meant the world to us."
