Autism support that works in Maryland
Our ABA therapy services in Maryland are designed for children with autism, and are proven to drive lasting change.
In-home ABA therapy
Where life happens, skills grow
When therapy happens at home, skills stick because they’re learned exactly where your child will use them.Your kitchen table becomes a place to practice following directions. Getting dressed turns into independence training.
Working with your family’s rhythm – naptime, school pickup, dinner prep – means your child gets focused attention in their comfort zone, and you see exactly how it all works.
School-based ABA services
Connecting the dots between home and school
Our school-based services make sure there are no gaps between home and school progress. We partner directly with your child’s teachers — not as outsiders, but as collaborators. Whether it’s staying focused during circle time, navigating lunch, or building friendships, we provide support at the right moments.
Telehealth ABA services
Expert support, anywhere
Our telehealth services bring skilled ABA guidance directly to your home.
- Parent coaching: You become the therapist as we provide the roadmap via live video.
- Remote supervision: Your RBT works with your child while the BCBA supervises through video technology.
Available when covered by your insurance plan.
Community based ABA learning
Skills that work everywhere
Supermarkets and parks become the ultimate classroom where your child practices following directions, making choices, and developing safety awareness. Real-world learning means skills transfer naturally – what works at the store works at home too. When your child masters communication at the grocery store, they use it everywhere else.

Straightforward answers to your questions about ABA therapy in Maryland
How do I know if my child needs ABA therapy?
If your child has an autism diagnosis or other behavioral or developmental disorder, ABA therapy is highly recommended. It’s the gold standard of treatment for autism because it delivers concrete, measurable results. ABA therapy especially helps children who experience communication challenges, difficulty following directions, struggles with daily tasks like dressing, or repetitive behaviors. Our BCBA will assess your child and figure out if ABA therapy is what you need, and if so, which specific goals to tackle first.
Will my insurance cover ABA therapy?
Yes, most major insurance plans and Medicaid are required to cover ABA therapy for autism. We handle every piece of paperwork, every prior authorization, every claim. We verify your coverage upfront and explain exactly what you’re paying. Questions about benefits? We call your insurance company for you.
How long does ABA therapy take to show results?
Progress happens one step at a time. Simple skills like following directions or making eye contact often improve within weeks. More complex communication and social skills may take a few months of focused effort. Here’s what we know: consistent ABA therapy accelerates progress. You’ll be able to see change happening slowly in your daily life, plus our online portal shows you exactly how your child is advancing towards set goals. Your BCBA sets realistic timelines based on your child’s specific needs – no guesswork.
How many hours of ABA therapy does my child need?
Your child needs exactly the right amount — not too little, not too much. Some children thrive with 10-15 hours weekly, others need 25-40 hours for intensive intervention. Your BCBA determines the sweet spot based on your child’s goals, personality and assessment results. We work around your family’s rhythm because overwhelming your child or your family doesn’t work. The goal is meaningful progress that fits your life.
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.
