EarlyYears ABA Services in Maryland: Applied Behavioral Analysis Therapy

🌈 Center-Based Early Intervention & Daycare Program

Where Care, Learning, and Growth Come Together

At Early Years ABA, we understand that families need more than traditional childcare, they need a program that supports both their child’s development and their family’s daily routine.

Our Center-Based Early Intervention Program blends full-day care with individualized developmental support tailored to each child’s needs and diagnosis. It’s a nurturing space where therapy, play, and learning happen naturally, all under one roof and covered by insurance (no double cost).

Center- Based Services

What is ABA?

ABA is considered an “evidence-based” practice, meaning that there is enough research evidence showing that it is an effective and useful treatment for children with autism spectrum disorders.

Early Years ABA provides individualized behavioral therapy based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). The methods and strategies we use have been scientifically proven to benefit children with social, communication, and behavioral challenges, including autism. We work together with you and your child to provide the highest quality of care.

Get a Diagnosis

Before starting ABA therapy, your child must have a formal diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This diagnosis can only be provided by a qualified medical doctor (MD) or licensed psychologist (PhD). A diagnosis is also required by insurance companies to approve coverage for ABA services.

Where to Get an ASD Diagnosis:

Pediatricians & Developmental Specialists – Your child’s pediatrician can provide referrals to specialists such as developmental pediatricians, neurologists, or child psychiatrists.
Licensed Psychologists (PhD/PsyD) – Clinical child psychologists or neuropsychologists can perform autism evaluations and provide written diagnostic reports.
Hospitals & Autism Centers – Many children’s hospitals and university medical centers have developmental clinics dedicated to autism evaluations
Local Resources – In Maryland, families often access evaluations through:
- Kennedy Krieger Institute (Baltimore, MD)
- Children’s National Hospital (Washington, DC)
- University of Maryland Medical Center Developmental Pediatrics

Request Intake

Getting started begins with a simple intake request. Families can call us, complete an online form, or email our intake team. We’ll gather some basic information about your child, your insurance coverage, and your goals for therapy. Our team will then guide you through the next steps.

Get an Initial Assessment

Once intake is complete, a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will meet with you and your child for a comprehensive assessment. This may include direct observation, play-based activities, and caregiver interviews. The goal is to understand your child’s strengths, challenges, and needs so we can design a personalized treatment plan.

Work with a BCBA & RBT

Your child’s therapy team includes a BCBA, who oversees the treatment plan, and a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), who provides one-on-one therapy. The RBT works directly with your child on skill-building activities, while the BCBA supervises, adjusts goals, and ensures progress. Families are always part of the process, with regular training and open communication.

Ongoing Monitoring and Support

ABA is a dynamic process. We regularly monitor data, track your child’s progress, and adjust the treatment plan as needed. Your BCBA will review goals with you, provide feedback, and recommend new strategies. We also support families by offering resources, training, and guidance to carry over skills into daily life. Together, we celebrate every milestone.

Focused on the Child
