FAQs for ABA Therapy in Baltimore
Where can my child be assessed for autism in Baltimore?
Most families start with their paediatrician, who can refer on for a full evaluation. Baltimore has some of the strongest options in the country close to hand — the Center for Autism Services, Science and Innovation at Kennedy Krieger Institute on Greenspring Avenue, along with the developmental teams at Johns Hopkins and Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital. Waits vary, so it is worth starting more than one referral.
Does the Maryland Autism Waiver cover ABA therapy in Baltimore?
The Maryland Autism Waiver, administered by the Maryland State Department of Education, is a Medicaid home and community-based services waiver for children with an autism diagnosis. It is separate from your medical plan and has its own registry and eligibility process. We can talk you through where it fits alongside your insurance.
My child attends Baltimore City Public Schools. How does ABA work alongside their IEP?
Your child’s IEP covers the school day. Our work covers home, community and — where the school agrees — the classroom itself. The two are meant to reinforce each other, and we coordinate with City Schools staff where you want us to, led by what you are comfortable sharing.
Do you serve all of Baltimore, or only some neighbourhoods?
We serve the city broadly, from Federal Hill and Canton through to Hamilton and Mount Washington, and out into Baltimore County. Coverage in any given week depends on therapist availability rather than any drawn boundary, so ask and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can I be involved in my child's ABA therapy sessions?
Absolutely! Parent involvement makes everything work better and faster. You observe sessions, learn our techniques, and use them at home. Your BCBA teaches you how to support progress between sessions. We provide hands-on parent training so you can help your child to apply and maintain their skills across all areas of life.
What's the difference between a BCBA and an RBT?
Your BCBA is the clinical mastermind — they design your child’s program, assess what’s working, and make adjustments as needed. They’re also your advocate when it comes to insurance and school partnerships. Your RBT is your child’s daily champion, putting the BCBA’s strategies into action and practicing skills during every session. Think of it this way: your BCBA crafts the plan, and your RBT follows the plan and builds the skills. Both maintain open communication with you — so you’re always informed.
At what ages can children receive ABA therapy?
We offer ABA therapy for children and young people ages 2 through 21. Starting early — specifically between ages 2 and 6 — often leads to quicker improvements in communication, social skills, and daily living abilities.Therapy can also be tailored to support school-age children, teens, and even young adults. Your BCBA designs a program that fits your child’s developmental stage, so they progress at every age.
