Children’s Specialized ABA offers a full continuum of autism care for families across Maryland. With center-based, school-based, and in-home ABA services, our team provides high-quality, individualized support to help your child thrive.
Let us handle the insurance details so your child can start progressing with care.
Care begins with a diagnostic evaluation from a licensed psychologist to determine your child’s needs and diagnosis. From there, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) completes an initial assessment of treatment goals, creating a personalized plan for therapy. A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) then provides ABA therapy based on that plan.
Throughout the process, your family receives compassionate guidance and support. Our Maryland team follows a whole-child approach—meaning we look at every area of your child’s development, not just behavior, to build a strong foundation for long-term success.
We provide a full continuum of autism care, grounded in clinical excellence and designed to grow with your child.
