About Us

At Successful Child ABA Therapy, we believe every child deserves the chance to thrive—and we’re here to make that possible through compassion, creativity, and connection.

What began as a one-person practice has grown into a vibrant, collaborative team that puts families first. Based in Jacksonville, NC, we are a locally owned ABA provider and center offering play-based, naturalistic therapy that’s as joyful as it is effective.

This company was built on the belief that collaboration, compassion, and reinforcement should guide everything we do. Whether you’re a parent or a professional, our mission is to make sure you feel supported, valued, and heard.

What Makes Us Different?

  • Child-Led, Play-Based Learning
    We meet children where they are—using play, interests, and strengths to build meaningful skills and confidence.

  • Individualized & Flexible
    No two children are the same. That’s why every treatment plan is tailored, every day is flexible, and every goal is personal.

  • Whole-Child Approach
    We go beyond behavior to support communication, emotional regulation, social skills, and real-life independence.

  • Teamwork Is Everything
    Families are essential partners. We collaborate with caregivers, educators, and each other to ensure support at every level.

  • Every Age, Every Stage; We’re Here

    From first words to middle school milestones, we are here to help every step of the way. No matter your child’s age or support level, we meet them where they are—with care that grows with them.

Expert Care You Can Trust.

At Successful Child, every team member is highly trained and deeply committed to excellence. Our staff includes credentialed professionals who undergo ongoing training and supervision to stay current with best practices in ABA and child development.

When you work with us, you can trust that your child is in the hands of passionate professionals who truly care and are constantly growing—just like your child.
