In-home ABA therapy in Bethesda, Maryland.

One-on-one ABA sessions led by a BCBA and delivered at home in Downtown Bethesda, Woodmont Triangle, Bradley Hills, Wyngate, and Westbard.

If you're new to this

You just got the news. Here's a calmer next step.

Evaluations, insurance letters, school meetings, acronyms nobody defines. The weeks after a diagnosis pile up fast. We keep the first step small for Bethesda families: one conversation about your child, a free look at your benefits, and straight answers about whether ABA is a good fit.

  • A person, not a phone tree, any time, day or night
  • Free insurance verification before any paperwork
  • Plain-English answers from a BCBA

Why we come to you

Sessions happen where life happens.

The goals that matter most to Bethesda parents, calmer mornings, easier mealtimes, smoother handoffs at bedtime, live at home. So does our therapy.

Practice in place

Bath time, bedtime, mealtimes. Skills learned in the exact spot they're needed don't have to transfer; they're already home.

Zero commute

No parking garages, no waiting rooms. Sessions begin the moment your therapist walks in the door.

The whole household

Siblings, grandparents, nannies. Anyone who is part of your child's daily life can be part of the plan.

Numbers, not hunches

Session data drives every goal change, and your BCBA walks you through what it means in plain English.

What it looks like

From hello to handoff.

1

Hello first

Sessions open with play on your child's terms. Rapport is the tool everything else depends on.

2

Goals in disguise

Communication, transitions, and daily-living targets ride along inside games your child picks.

3

Every trial counted

Data is captured during the session itself, so progress reviews rest on facts, not recollection.

4

You get the playbook

The last few minutes are parent coaching: what worked today and how to repeat it tomorrow.

Resources we know well

Bethesda and Montgomery County supports.

You don't have to find these on your own. Here are the local supports we know best.

Birth to three

For children under three, the Montgomery County Infants and Toddlers Program at (240) 777-3997 provides free early intervention. Many families start there, and we can help plan the handoff to ABA when the time comes.

Bethesda questions

What Bethesda families want to know.

All of them, including Downtown Bethesda, Woodmont Triangle, Bradley Hills, Wyngate, and Westbard. Our clinicians travel throughout Montgomery County, so nearby addresses outside Bethesda proper are usually fine too. When in doubt, just ask.
