Katherine Agurto, NC Clinical Director of Kavana Care, joined Good Morning LKN to discuss how individualized ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy is helping children and young adults with autism develop life skills, social skills, and greater independence. Kavana Care provides in-home services throughout North Carolina and works with families from diagnosis through adulthood, offering personalized support tailored to each child’s unique strengths, challenges, and goals.

During the conversation, Katherine shared her inspiring journey from special education teacher to Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), recalling how one student with autism helped shape her career path. She emphasized that an autism diagnosis is not the end of the story, but the beginning of a new chapter filled with opportunities for growth, learning, and support. Through ethical, family-centered care, Kavana Care is committed to helping families across the Lake Norman region and beyond access the resources they need to thrive.
