What is ABA Therapy?

WHAT IS ABA THERAPY?

Life-changing therapy for children with autism.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific, evidence-based therapy model that uses learning theory principles to treat individuals with autism.

Based on the concept that rewarded behaviors are more likely to be repeated, ABA positive reinforcement strategies help children acquire essential skills and ease behavioral challenges that can impact functioning and quality of life.

Improved Communication

ABA therapy develops verbal and non-verbal communication skills, empowering children to effectively express their thoughts, needs, and emotions.

Social Skills Development

Structured ABA interventions teach children to navigate social interactions and foster meaningful connections.

Behavior Management

Positive reinforcement encourages desired behaviors and minimizes challenges to help children approach daily life with greater ease.

Increased Independence

ABA therapy breaks tasks into manageable steps, helping children to master self-care and life skills for greater autonomy and self-reliance.

Our Services

A comprehensive approach to compassionate care.

Our warm, welcoming approach creates a safe space to make meaningful progress, fostering social, communication, and daily living skills—all while having fun. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) design a one-to-one treatment plan that is uniquely tailored to your child’s strengths and areas of need with ongoing support for the whole family unit.

Using evidence-based ABA techniques and strategies to enhance verbal and non-verbal communication, increase independence, and improve social interaction and engagement that can inspire greater academic performance—our caring team becomes a trusted partner in your child’s development.

Welcome to the brighter side of ABA.

Our impact is changing what is possible for the individuals we work with, enriching their families and communities, and shifting perspectives toward greater understanding and acceptance of autism.

I will definitely recommend bright strides to anyone looking for ABA therapy they have the best therapists they pay attention to your child concerns and details. Ms Sarah and Ms Bola have been doing a very diligent job for my daughter.
We are so blessed to have found Brighter Strides. We went through so many therapist at the last facility. Since we have been with Brighter my daughter has grown so much. Her RBT is the absolute best. She has gain her respect, trust and admiration. We truly value her in our lives and are so grateful for her in every way. We are sad that one day she will have to depart but so proud of the mark she will leave on our daughter. The company as a whole is amazing great communication and support for families navigating this journey with their love ones.
Very hard working, caring therapists. Asher is great! Willing to accommodate and personalize their approach to the individual client. I would recommend them to others.
My son’s ABA therapist Samantha has been wonderful. She is so patient, caring, and truly dedicated to helping him grow. Since working with her, I have seen so much progress in my son. He wasn’t speaking as much before, and now he is using his words more and communicating better. Her support, encouragement, and consistency have made such a positive difference in his development. We are very grateful for the care and effort she puts into helping him succeed.
Brighter Strides ABA has been an absolute game-changer for our family! The therapists are reliable, kind, and truly dedicated to the kids they work with. My child absolutely loves their therapist and actually looks forward to sessions. The positive changes we've seen in just a short amount of time are amazing. I highly recommend their services to any parent looking for high-quality ABA therapy!"
Tracy and Korrina are amazing and have been helping us tremendously! Couldn’t be happier
Thank you! Mrs Chastity , your are the best BCBA
As a mom I was legit sooo stressed trying to get my son tested for autism 😭 every place near Raleigh kept saying “6 month waitlist” or never calling us back. Kennedy ABA pretty much helped us with EVERYTHING and made the whole ASD screening/diagnosis process way less scary. They got things moving way faster then I expected and we were able to start ABA pretty quickly after. My son is VERY active lol and was constintly hitting/cracking stuff around the house when he got overwelmed. The team even helped us find sensory stuff that actualy works for him and got him this little bongo/drum thing he can safely hit instead 😂 honestly such a smart idea. Everybody has been super sweet and down to earth and never made me feel judged. So thankful we found them ❤️
Hello! I appreciate the time, effort & concerns, the staff made to reach out to me as soon as possible. For further information & details on the therapy as needed.
The intake process for us was under two weeks. I’ve seen huge improvements with my son. The dedication and support for families Brighter Strides has is incredible. His BCBA Keira Burton and RBT Amanda Wilson are phenomenal. Not having a clinic in the Fayetteville area is challenging. Hopefully there will be one very soon.
We’ve had an incredibly positive experience with this ABA therapy company. Both of my sons are currently receiving services—one has been in therapy for almost a year, and the other just started a few weeks ago—and I truly couldn’t be more grateful for the care they’ve received. Both of their therapists are amazing, (shout out to Morgan and Briana!) They are patient, attentive, and genuinely invested in my children’s progress. One thing that really stands out is the consistency—we’ve had reliable therapists who show up and build strong, trusting relationships with my kids, which has made a huge difference. Another thing I really appreciate is the communication. The therapists do a great job keeping us informed about how each session went, what goals they’re currently working on, and where our children’s strengths and areas for growth are. That insight helps us know exactly what to focus on at home so we can support their progress even more. I also really value the parent trainings provided by our assigned BCBA. They’ve helped us better understand how to support our children and carry over what they’re learning in therapy into our daily lives. The progress we’ve seen has been incredible. We started noticing positive changes within just days of beginning therapy, and the growth has continued ever since. The difference this company has made in our children’s lives—and in our lives as their parents—is truly meaningful. We can’t say enough good things about them and would highly recommend their services to any family looking for support.
I’m so happy with the service Brighter Strides is providing for my son. It’s only been three weeks, and I’m already seeing a lot of progress. I truly appreciate his BCBA, Ms. Monroe, and his two RBTs, Asia and Lyriq. I’m very grateful for all of them. They always make sure I stay up to date with everything. A special thanks as well to Ms. Barash for making the enrollment process so smooth. I can’t wait to see him continue to excel!.
Hace casi dos años que empezamos las terapias con Brighter Strides ABA Therapy. La terapeuta es muy profesional y mi hijo está avanzando cada día más y mejor con su apoyo. Realmente agradecida con su trabajo y compromiso tanto de la terapista como de la supervisora.
My son (6) since working with his ABA therapist has done a 360 in school. He was having a hard time in school. Now he has got student of the month. He is now a model student and at home.
I’m really grateful for the support my child has received through ABA therapy. The staff is always kind, patient, and welcoming, which has helped my child feel comfortable and supported. Since starting, I’ve seen clear improvements in her behavior. She’s making better choices, communicating more, and handling situations that used to be difficult much better. I also appreciate how well the team communicates with me and keeps me informed. Overall, they’ve been a huge help to my child, and I’m thankful for the care and dedication they show.
I’ve had a really great experience with my son’s technician. She is always on time, which I truly appreciate, especially with a busy schedule. She is very attentive and patient with him, and you can tell she genuinely cares about his progress. What stands out the most is how gently and effectively she redirects him, she handles every situation with kindness and professionalism. It makes a big difference, and I feel comfortable knowing he’s in such good hands. We’re very grateful for her support!
I just wanted to share a quick review about Celestina. My brother has been spending time with her, and he genuinely seems really calm around her. It’s nice to see him feeling at ease and enjoying her company. From what I’ve seen, she seems kind and easy to get along with.
Brighter Strides is truly amazing and has changed my child’s life for the better ! I will admit in the beginning, it was hard because we couldn’t find a consistent therapist at first but that was at no fault to Brighter Strides! They have helped my 5 year old daughter meet so many milestones and have become apart of our family. I’ll recommend them to everyone I know 🙂
My son has been with Brighter strides since the age of 3. He is now 7. He has developed many life skills with the help from Brighter strides. He is more verbal & I am happy with the support he receives.
I absolutely adore Khasheema. My son lights up everyone he sees her or hears her name. Very professional but still personable. Julia is also a dear. Great insight. They both provide good resources and advice.
