Services Offered
Our autism treatment center in Owings Mill provides a variety of whole-child autism care therapy services, including:
Early Intervention ABA Center
Our Owings Mill early intervention is dedicated to providing the best care and support for children with autism. We understand that every child is unique, and we tailor our services to meet their individual needs.
Our expert ABA therapists come to you, providing compassionate care in the comfort of your home. This personalized service is designed to fit into your family’s daily life, making it easier for everyone to be involved and for goals to be seamlessly incorporated into your child’s routine.
Speech and Occupational Therapy
Beyond ABA Therapy, we offer integrated speech and occupational therapies to support communication, motor skills, and daily tasks. Our goal is to help children become more independent and comfortable in their own skin while celebrating each milestone along the way.
Psychological Evaluations
We also provide comprehensive psychological evaluations to assess your child’s strengths and needs. This allows us to develop customized treatment plans that address the whole child, not just their autism diagnosis.
We know that caring for a child with autism can be challenging, and we are here to support not just the child, but also the entire family. Our parent support group offers a safe space for parents to share their experiences, learn from each other, and receive guidance from our experienced therapists.
Social Skills Group
We believe that social skills are crucial for children with autism to thrive in their communities. Our social skills group offers a fun and supportive environment for children to develop communication, friendship, and teamwork skills.
After School Program
Our after-school program, “Social Connections,” provides a structured and engaging environment for children with autism to continue their learning and development. Our Social Connections program runs from 5:00 to 7:00 pm for children ages 6-12.
Daycare Support
We understand the challenges of finding appropriate daycare for children with autism. That’s why we offer support and training to daycare providers, ensuring your child receives the same level of care and support during their time away from home.
Case Management
Our case managers are here to guide you through the process of getting the best care for your child. They can help navigate insurance, provide resources and referrals, and coordinate services with other providers to ensure your child receives comprehensive care.
