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.

FAQs for ABA Therapy in Pikesville MD
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.
Which parts of Baltimore County do you cover from Pikesville?
Pikesville, Owings Mills, Randallstown, Milford Mill, Reisterstown and the surrounding Baltimore County communities, and south into the city itself. Availability shifts with our team, so ask about your street rather than assuming.
My child attends Baltimore County Public Schools. Can ABA run alongside their IEP?
Yes. BCPS handles the school day through the IEP; we work at home and in the community, and we coordinate with the school where that is useful and where you want us to. The two should pull in the same direction.
How do I get started if my child does not have a diagnosis yet?
You will need a diagnosis before ABA can begin. Your paediatrician is the usual first step, and Kennedy Krieger’s autism centre on Greenspring Avenue is a short drive from Pikesville. For children under three, Baltimore County’s Infants and Toddlers Program provides free developmental evaluation. We are happy to talk you through the order of things before you have any paperwork at all.
