If the diagnosis is new

You don't have to learn every acronym this week.

IEP. IFSP. RBT. Prior authorization. Gaithersburg parents hear a wall of new terms in the weeks after a diagnosis, usually while juggling work, school pickups, and everything else. Start with one conversation instead. We'll ask about your child, answer what we can right away, and translate the rest as it comes.

Why we come to you

Therapy that fits inside your real day.

The skills Gaithersburg families ask about most, mornings, meals, transitions, sibling time, all live at home. So that's where we teach them.

Skills where you need them

Getting dressed, mealtime, and transitions are practiced in the exact rooms where they happen, so nothing has to transfer from a clinic.

Zero travel time

No loading the car, no waiting room. Your child starts each session already settled, and you get that hour of your week back.

Parents in the room

You watch, join, and practice during sessions. Siblings can be part of the plan too, because they're part of the day.

Decisions from data

Therapists record every target during the session, and your BCBA reviews the numbers with you so changes never feel like guesses.

What it looks like

An hour at your house, start to finish.

1

Settling in

The first minutes belong to your child. Play comes first; the therapist earns trust before asking for anything.

2

Practice inside play

Targets show up inside blocks, snack, and the games your child already picks, so learning doesn't feel like work.

3

Quiet data

Progress is logged as it happens, target by target, without interrupting the moment.

4

You get the playbook

The last few minutes are for you: what worked today, and how to repeat it before the next visit.

Resources we know well

Birth to three

For children under three, the Montgomery County Infants and Toddlers Program, (240) 777-3997, provides free early intervention. When a child ages out of MCITP, we can help you line up what comes next so there's no gap.
