Welcome to ABC of NC

Welcome to ABC of NC, a not-for-profit private school and research-based provider of educational services for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Mission

ABC of NC uses a variety of quality educational techniques within a caring environment to help children develop their full potential. ABC of NC teaches children with autism through such methods as: Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), applied behavior analysis (ABA), verbal behavior (VB), discrete trial teaching (DTT), natural environment teaching (NET)/play therapy, social skills groups/social stories, and fluency teaching. Our curriculum is based on the Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills (The ABLLS), an assessment, curriculum guide, and skills tracking system for children with language delays developed by Dr. Jim Partington and Dr. Mark Sundberg. In addition to providing direct educational services to children, we also provide parent, professional, and community education on topics related to autism.

Philosophy

Our philosophy is to teach children basic skills by creating an environment that motivates them to communicate and play with their teachers and then to transfer these skills as soon as possible to peers, siblings, and other adults.
