Skills Our Frederick ABA Programs Can Address
ABA therapy at our Frederick center 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.
“Behind every number is a child who said something new, made a friend, or surprised their family.”
Measured using the Vineland-3 Adaptive Behavior Scales

How to Start ABA Therapy at
Our Frederick Center
From your first call to your child’s first session: one team handles every step.
Talk with a Real Person
Call or submit a form and you’ll reach a real intake advocate, not a call center. They’ll gather your child’s information, answer your questions, and verify your insurance benefits the same day at no cost to you.
You’ll know your coverage and next steps within 24 hours.
Confirm Diagnosis or Connect with a Diagnostician
Share an existing autism diagnosis, or let us know if one is still needed. We will connect you directly with trusted referring diagnosticians in the Maryland area so you can move forward without delay.
Once diagnosis is confirmed, we schedule your center visit.
Tour the Center and Complete the BCBA Evaluation
Visit our Frederick center, meet the team, and see the space. A Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will conduct an intake evaluation using the Vineland-3 to understand your child’s strengths and build an individualized treatment plan.
You receive a personalized plan with recommended therapy hours and goals.
Start ABA Therapy
Once the treatment plan is signed and authorization is in place, your child’s schedule is confirmed and therapy begins. Our team handles the paperwork so you can focus on your child.
Your child’s first ABA therapy session is on the calendar.
ABA Therapy Covered by Major Health Plans
ABA therapy at our Frederick center is covered by most insurance. We verify your benefits the same day you call, so cost is never what stands between your child and care.

in Frederick, MD?
Understanding ABA Therapy Pricing
Before insurance, ABA therapy is commonly priced by the hour. Total cost depends heavily on the clinically recommended number of treatment hours per week, which varies by child.
Most insured families are responsible for plan-specific deductibles, copays, or coinsurance rather than the full billed amount. Pre-insurance rates typically range from $120–$150 per hour, but what you actually pay depends on your coverage.
Payment Support We Can Help With
Our intake team walks every family through their coverage and available support options. No financial jargon, no surprises.
- Benefit verification
- Deductible
- Copay
- Coinsurance
- Out-of-pocket maximum
- FSA / HSA
- CareCredit or approved financing
- Medicaid, where applicable
- Local grants
- State and nonprofit resources

Inside Our Frederick Autism Therapy Center

What a Typical Day of ABA
Therapy May Include
Schedules differ by child and clinical recommendation. Your child’s BCBA designs each day around their individual goals.
Arrival & Transition
Each day begins with a structured arrival routine that helps children transition comfortably from home to the therapy environment.
Individual Learning Activities
1:1 sessions with a trained therapist target each child’s specific goals: communication, behavior, daily living, and more.
Naturalistic Play-Based Instruction
Skills are practiced in natural play settings so learning generalizes to real-life situations at home and in the community.
Communication Practice
Functional communication is woven throughout the day, not limited to a single block. This includes verbal, gestural, and device-assisted approaches.
Peer & Group Activities
Where clinically appropriate, children participate in group activities to practice social interaction, turn-taking, and conversation.
Meal, Toileting & Daily-Living Routines
Everyday skills are embedded into the schedule. Eating, toileting, transitions, and self-care are all treated as therapy opportunities.
Data Collection & Treatment Implementation
Therapists collect data on every target throughout the day. BCBAs review and adjust the treatment plan based on real-time progress.
Parent Handoff & Progress Communication
Each session ends with a parent handoff: a brief update on the day’s activities, wins, and anything to reinforce at home.
ABA Therapy in Frederick — Your Questions Answered

Call (855) 782-7822Is the Frederick center accepting new clients?
Yes. Our Frederick center is accepting new clients for children ages 18 months to 10 years. Call (855) 782-7822 or submit the form and a care coordinator will confirm current openings.
Is there currently a waitlist?
Most Behavioral Innovations centers have no waitlist or a short one. If our Frederick center does not have an immediate opening, our intake team can check nearby Maryland locations and help you start at the first available center.
What ages does the Frederick center serve?
Our Frederick center serves children from 18 months through 10 years. Treatment goals come from each child’s assessment, not age alone.
What ABA programs are available at this location?
Our Frederick center offers Early-Intervention ABA, School-Age ABA, After-School Social Skills, and ABA Prep. Program availability may vary. Contact our team to confirm what fits your child.
What hours are children typically at the center?
Center hours at our Frederick location are Mon–Fri, 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM. Your child’s schedule is individualized based on the clinical recommendation and your family’s needs.
Which insurance plans are accepted at the Frederick center?
We accept most major commercial plans in Maryland, plus Medicaid where applicable. Coverage still depends on the specific policy. We verify your benefits the same day you call, at no cost.
How much will ABA therapy cost with my insurance?
Before insurance, published rates commonly fall in the $120–$150 per hour range. What you actually pay depends on your deductible, copay or coinsurance, and out-of-pocket maximum. We verify benefits at no cost and give you an estimate before you commit.
Does my child need an autism diagnosis before starting?
For insurance-funded ABA, yes. Most commercial plans require a documented autism spectrum disorder diagnosis before authorizing services. If your child does not have a diagnosis yet, tell us when you call and we will help with next steps.
Can Behavioral Innovations help arrange an autism assessment?
We can connect you with trusted referring diagnosticians in the Maryland area so you can move forward without delay. Once a diagnosis is confirmed, your child can move into ABA intake at our Frederick center.
How long does the enrollment process take?
From first contact, most families move through intake and benefits verification within days. Commercial prior authorization typically takes 1 to 3 weeks. Diagnosis, if still needed, is often the longest step. These steps can run in parallel.
Can I tour the Frederick center?
Yes. We encourage families to visit our Frederick center before committing. Tours are by appointment. Call (855) 782-7822 to schedule.
What should I bring to the first appointment?
Bring your insurance card, a photo ID, and any existing diagnostic or evaluation paperwork. If something is missing, call anyway — we will tell you what is still needed.
How are parents involved in treatment?
Parent training is built into every program. Your BCBA works with you on goals, home carryover, and progress updates so skills show up at the dinner table, in the car, and at bedtime, not only at the center.
Who will supervise my child's therapy?
A Board Certified Behavior Analyst designs and supervises your child’s plan. Registered Behavior Technicians deliver sessions under that BCBA’s oversight, with ongoing data review and plan updates.
What happens if this location is not the best fit?
Our intake team can match you with another nearby Behavioral Innovations center in the Maryland area with a better opening, schedule, or program fit.
