Real Outcomes. Progress Maryland Families Can See. Data That Proves It.
We measure progress using the Vineland-3 Adaptive Behavior Scales, the gold-standard clinical tool for tracking real-world skill development. Even a single point of improvement on the Vineland-3 is considered clinically meaningful. Across 1,141 children studied, every age group improved.

Skills Our Maryland ABA Programs Can Address
ABA therapy at our Maryland centers targets the skills that matter most in everyday life: at home, at school, and in the community.
Treatment goals are selected after assessment and individualized to the child. Not every child will work on every skill.

We are so grateful for everyone at BI. From the front desk to the BCBAs, every single person has shown genuine care for our son. We've seen more progress in six months than we expected to see in two years. The parent training component has been a game changer for our whole family.
Marcus Webb

The care provided at BI is truly exceptional. They take the time to understand each child as an individual and build a program around who they actually are. Our daughter went from refusing transitions to handling them without any meltdowns. The staff communication has been outstanding throughout.
Adrienne Paoletti

We started with BI about 18 months ago and the difference in our son is remarkable. He is talking more, engaging with other kids, and actually excited to go in every morning. The team coordinates with his school so nothing falls through the cracks. I recommend them to every family I know that is navigating this.

Frequently Asked Questions About ABA Therapy in Maryland
Questions about ABA therapy, getting a diagnosis, or getting started at a Maryland center? Our care team is here to help.
(855) 782-7822Is there ABA therapy in Maryland accepting new patients?
Yes. Behavioral Innovations operates 8 ABA therapy centers across Maryland, and most have no waitlist or a minimal one. Availability changes as programs fill, so contact our intake team to confirm current openings at the Maryland center closest to you.
How much does ABA therapy cost in Maryland?
With insurance, most Maryland families pay only their plan's copay, coinsurance or deductible, because Maryland law requires state-regulated plans to cover autism treatment, including ABA therapy. Maryland Medicaid typically covers ABA at little or no cost. We verify your specific benefits and expected costs before services begin.
Does Medicaid cover ABA therapy in Maryland?
Yes. Maryland Medicaid covers medically necessary ABA therapy for children with an autism diagnosis. Behavioral Innovations accepts Maryland Medicaid across our center locations. Contact intake to confirm coverage and availability at your nearest center.
How long is the wait for ABA therapy in Maryland?
Wait times range from immediate availability to several weeks depending on the center. Most Behavioral Innovations Maryland locations have no waitlist or a minimal one, and because we operate 8 centers across the state, we can often offer an opening at a nearby location if your first choice is full.
What age groups do ABA centers in Maryland serve?
Behavioral Innovations serves children from 18 months through 10 years across all Maryland centers. Early intervention before age five is associated with the largest developmental gains, though treatment goals are set by individual assessment rather than age alone.
My child has not been diagnosed yet. Can you help?
Absolutely. You do not need a diagnosis in hand to contact us. Our care coordinators are familiar with the diagnostic landscape in Maryland and can help point your family toward developmental pediatricians, child psychiatrists and licensed psychologists in the area who conduct autism evaluations. Once a diagnosis is confirmed, we can move quickly on insurance verification and scheduling.
What should I look for when choosing an ABA provider in Maryland?
Four things separate providers who deliver consistent outcomes: BCBA supervision (every program should be designed and actively supervised by a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst); individualized assessment (goals built from a comprehensive evaluation, not a template); parent training built in (skills learned in a center need to generalize at home, which requires structured caregiver involvement); and insurance transparency before intake (benefits verification, authorization timeline and expected out-of-pocket costs should be clear before you commit).
Do ABA centers in Maryland offer after-school programs?
Yes. We offer after-school social skills groups for school-age children at Maryland locations. These are small-group sessions separate from individual ABA therapy, matched by age and skill level, and scheduled around school dismissal. Availability varies by center.
