Chapel Hill TEACCH Center

The Chapel Hill TEACCH Center serves persons with autism spectrum disorders in the northeastern section of the North Carolina Piedmont. Our catchment area includes the counties of Alamance, Caswell, Chatham, Durham, Franklin, Granville, Orange, Person, Vance, Warren, and the cities of Cary, Morrisville, and Apex in Wake County.

We provide services that are tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual with an autism spectrum disorder and their family. Services available include diagnostic evaluations to determine whether or not an individual has an autism spectrum disorder; education and training such as workshops for parents, teachers, and other professionals focusing on characteristics of autism and intervention strategies, consultation services to programs such as schools or residential communities serving individuals with autism, support services for individuals with autism and their families through parent mentors, support groups, and our “friendship files” (a directory of children interested in meeting other children with an autism spectrum diagnosis), and individual intervention services through our Individual Parent Teaching Sessions and home teaching kit program.
