What we offer

Our autism therapy services

Every family in Maryland is different. Every child is different. We build our services around that.

In-Home ABA Therapy

Home is where your child feels most like themselves — so that’s where we start. Our therapists come to you across Maryland, working in the space where learning feels natural and safe. Sessions happen in real moments: mealtime, getting dressed, playing with a sibling. Skills build where life actually happens.

Diagnostic Services

Not sure where to start? We can help with that too. We guide Maryland families through the autism evaluation process — explaining what to expect, connecting you with the right clinicians in the state, and making sure you have what you need to take the next step. A diagnosis isn’t the end of the story. It’s the beginning of getting the right support.

School Advocacy

Your child deserves the right support at school — and getting there can feel like a fight. We stand with Maryland families through IEP meetings, evaluations, and conversations with teachers and administrators. Whether your child attends school in Baltimore, Rockville, Silver Spring, or anywhere in between, you shouldn’t have to navigate the system alone.

Parent Training

Therapy is most powerful when it doesn’t stop when we leave. We work closely with Maryland families to share the strategies, language, and tools your child’s team uses — so you can respond with confidence in the moments that catch you off guard. You know your child better than anyone. We help you use that.

Daycare-Based ABA Therapy

Your child is already spending their day at a Maryland daycare — so why not bring therapy there? Our daycare-based ABA embeds skilled support into the environment your child is already in, working alongside caregivers to target social skills, communication, and daily routines in real time. No extra trips. No disruption to your schedule. Just steady, consistent progress.

Weekend ABA Therapy

Maryland families are busy. We know that. For families who can’t fit therapy into the weekday routine, we offer weekend ABA sessions that work around school, work, and everything else on your plate. Your child’s progress shouldn’t depend on when you can get there. We make it flexible, on purpose.

Early Intervention

The earlier we start, the more doors we can open. Our early intervention services are available to Maryland families with young children — often between 18 months and 5 years — at the point in development when the brain is most ready to grow. We work intensively and keep the focus on the skills that shape everything else: communication, connection, and independence.

Community-Based ABA Therapy

The grocery store. The playground. The library. These are the places life gets challenging — and the places where real growth happens. Our community-based ABA therapy serves families across Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, Howard County, and beyond, building confidence and skills where they’re needed most.

BCBA Supervision & Ongoing Assessment

Every child at Admire ABA has a Board Certified Behavior Analyst overseeing their care. Maryland families can count on regular check-ins, data-driven progress tracking, and treatment plans that grow alongside your child. If something isn’t working, we adjust. If your child is ready for more, we’re already planning the next step.

From Baltimore to Bethesda, from Hagerstown to the Eastern Shore — if your family is in Maryland, we’re here for you.

How ABA helps

Every child with autism has different challenges—whether it’s buttoning a shirt, expressing their needs, or connecting with friends. Through Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), we break each skill into small, manageable steps, using evidence-based strategies to reinforce positive behaviors until they become second nature.
