Kennedy ABA Establishes Its Role as a Leading ABA Therapy Provider in Charlotte, NC

Sep 25, 2026

Kennedy ABA delivers more than 1,500 hours of therapy weekly across Mecklenburg County, with services in homes, schools, and community settings.

Charlotte, NC, United States, September 25, 2026 /MarketersMEDIA/ -- Kennedy ABA now delivers more than 1,500 hours of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy each week to children with autism and their families in Charlotte.

Kennedy ABA currently serves more than 100 Charlotte-area children through individualized ABA services provided in homes, schools, and community settings. Each family works with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who designs the treatment plan, and a consistent Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) who delivers day-to-day sessions. Clinical care across North Carolina is overseen by a doctoral-level behavior analyst.

"Families in Charlotte have waited too long for quality autism services," said the founder of Kennedy ABA. "We built this around a simple idea — meet children where they are, keep the same therapist with them, and handle the insurance so parents can focus on their child. Seeing that model reach more than a hundred Charlotte families is exactly why we started."

Sessions are scheduled around family routines, with early morning, evening, and weekend availability for families navigating work schedules, school pickup, and Charlotte traffic.

Supporting Charlotte Children and Families

Kennedy ABA builds every treatment plan around the individual child — their strengths, their challenges, and the goals their family sets. BCBAs oversee treatment throughout and coordinate with parents, teachers, and other members of a child's support team.

For children enrolled in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, Kennedy ABA's clinical team coordinates directly with school staff and IEP teams, helping align therapy goals with educational objectives so strategies carry consistently between home and classroom.

Parent training is built into the model rather than offered as an add-on. Families receive hands-on coaching so progress continues between sessions.

Insurance and Getting Started

Kennedy ABA accepts North Carolina Medicaid and many major insurance plans, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare. The team verifies benefits, submits prior authorizations, and manages claims directly, so families are not left navigating coverage on their own.

Most families begin with an initial assessment and individualized treatment planning. Depending on insurance authorization and scheduling, therapy typically begins within approximately two to four weeks — a meaningful difference in a region where families often face extended waits for autism services.

A Growing Local Presence

Kennedy ABA maintains partnerships with Duke Health and Novant Health, two of the region's largest healthcare systems, supporting coordinated care for Charlotte children with autism and strengthening referral pathways for families seeking services.

Kennedy ABA serves families across Ballantyne, University City, Steele Creek, Dilworth, Myers Park, NoDa, South End, and surrounding neighborhoods, as well as nearby communities including Concord, Huntersville, Matthews, and Mint Hill.

The Charlotte expansion reflects Kennedy ABA's broader commitment to making individualized autism services accessible in the communities it serves.

MJ Marfori, partners toss hat into wellness ring   

Entertainment journalist and television host MJ Marfori has teamed up with entrepreneurs Marga Arenas Vargas, JR Marfori and Mikee Arenas to launch Gutta Glow, a Filipino functional beverage brand that aims to make wellness more accessible and easier to incorporate into everyday routines.  The four founders officially introduced the brand on Sept. 16 at The Rockwell Club in Makati City, bringing together their backgrounds in media, entertainment, marketing and business for a venture they had been developing for more than a year.  For Marfori, the business marks a new chapter beyond her work in journalism and television.  “I’m used to telling other people’s stories, but this time, the four of us are building our own. Gutta Glow is about taking care of yourself without making wellness feel like a chore. We wanted it to be something you can actually enjoy while navigating work, family, travel and everyday life,” Marfori said during the launch.  The idea took shape during the pandemic when the founders began discussing longevity, healthier routines and the need for products that could easily fit into everyday life.  JR Marfori said he and Vargas had worked together during the lockdowns and began thinking about how they could maintain a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.  The group eventually decided to develop its own product, embarking on a research and development process that lasted more than a year.  The founders said they divided the work according to their individual backgrounds. Vargas and MJ Marfori handle the brand and content side, while JR Marfori and Arenas focus on the business, marketing and numbers.  For JR Marfori, working with family was also an important part of the venture.  “We all have our roles and responsibilities. At the end of the day, I like to do business with family because I know we share the same set of values,” he said.  Gutta Glow’s initial product lineup includes Honey Lemon Iced Tea, French Vanilla Coffee and Spanish Latte. Depending on the variant, the products contain functional ingredients such as inulin, green tea extract, green coffee extract, L-carnitine, garcinia cambogia, berberine extract, Immuse LP20, hydrolyzed collagen, reduced L-glutathione, skim milk, whey protein and stevia extracts.  The founders said they wanted the products to retain familiar flavors while incorporating functional ingredients.  “We wanted something that’s easy on the pocket, palatable and portable,” JR Marfori said.  Taste was a major consideration during the development process, particularly for the coffee and iced tea variants.  The founders also emphasized convenience, saying the products can be prepared at home, brought to work or taken while traveling. They are sugar-free and contain 30 calories per sachet, while some variants contain ingredients such as whey protein and prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics.  “The benefits really set it apart. That’s why our battle cry is, ‘Drink smart and glow hard.’ You don’t have to compromise your health. It’s really easy, it’s so convenient and it’s so delicious,” Vargas said.  The founders said the products are FDA-approved and Halal-certified and that the brand has received recognition from Superbrands Philippines.  “This is just the beginning. We’re also trying out new products that fit the values and the mission of Gutta Glow,” they said.  The brand is available through its online channels, including Shopee, TikTok Shop, Instagram and Facebook.
