Find Their Voice. Build Their Future.
Friendships do not always come naturally for children with autism, but with the right support, they are absolutely within reach. Astra ABA's social skills training for autism pairs children with Board Certified Behavior Analysts who use proven ABA techniques to teach the social rules, communication patterns, and peer interaction skills that make everyday connections possible.
Serving families across North Carolina and Indiana, our programs are personalized, data-driven, and built around each child's unique social profile.

More Than Manners: Real Social Skills, Real Connections

Autism social skills therapy that goes deeper than scripted phrases.
Social skills training for autism is a structured, evidence-based approach to teaching children the verbal and nonverbal behaviors that support meaningful peer interaction. For children on the autism spectrum, social communication does not always develop intuitively, and the gap between wanting connection and knowing how to initiate it can be wide. Astra ABA's autism social skills therapy works to close that gap, one skill at a time.
Our approach combines ABA therapy social skills methodology with Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA), a clinical process that identifies the specific patterns, triggers, and functions behind a child's current social behaviors. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all curriculum, our BCBAs use FBA findings to build individualized programs that address each child's exact barriers to social participation. The result is a therapy plan grounded in clinical evidence and shaped by your child's real-world social challenges.
Sessions are delivered in-home and in natural community settings across Greensboro, NC, statewide in North Carolina and Indiana, and focus on skills that translate directly into a child's daily life at school, on the playground, in the neighborhood, and at home.

- Find group play or cooperative activities challenging to join or sustain

- Are working toward greater participation in school, extracurricular, or community environments

- Have completed early intervention and are ready for more advanced peer interaction goals
From Consultation to Connection
Six steps to a program that actually fits your child.
Step 01:
Intake – Let’s Talk!
One of our team members will visit your home for a consultation. This is your chance to share your concerns, ask questions, and see if Astra ABA is the right fit for your child. No pressure—just an open conversation about what’s best for your family.
Step 02:
Benefit Verification
We’ll guide you through the insurance process and check your child’s eligibility for ABA therapy. Parents will need to provide proof of an autism diagnosis, complete an application, submit a prescription for ABA therapy, and confirm insurance coverage.
Step 03:
Assessment
A licensed BCBA will assess your child’s skills, strengths, and challenges through direct observation in your home. Using this insight, we’ll create a customized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs and developmental goals.
Step 04:
Therapy Begins
With guidance from our expert BCBAs, our dedicated intervention team will implement the therapy plan, focusing on the skills that matter most for your child’s daily life. We use engaging, hands-on techniques to make learning fun and meaningful.
Step 05:
Ongoing Support & Progress Tracking
Your child’s progress is continuously monitored through data collection and regular reassessments. We adjust strategies as needed and keep you involved every step of the way to ensure steady growth and success.
Step 01:
Reach Out
Call Astra ABA at 919-200-0240 or submit an inquiry through our website. A team member will respond promptly, learn more about your child, and answer your initial questions about our social skills and FBA services.
Step 02:
Insurance Verification
We confirm your coverage before services begin. Astra ABA accepts most major insurance plans, including Medicaid across North Carolina and Indiana. Our team handles the verification process so families can focus on what matters.
Step 03:
Functional Behavior Assessment
A BCBA conducts a thorough FBA to examine your child's current social behaviors, communication patterns, and the specific contexts where challenges arise. This assessment is the clinical foundation for the entire program.
Step 04:
Treatment Plan Development
Using FBA results and your family's input, the BCBA creates a personalized plan with clear social skills goals, recommended session formats, and measurable benchmarks. You review and approve the plan before therapy begins.
Step 05:
Therapy Sessions Begin
Your child's assigned RBT begins delivering sessions, guided by the BCBA's plan. Sessions may take place at home, in community settings, or in small group formats depending on your child's goals.
Step 06:
Regular Review and Family Updates
BCBAs monitor session data consistently and meet with families to discuss progress, refine goals, and provide coaching on reinforcing social skills outside of therapy. Progress is always visible and always moving forward.
