ABA Therapy Cost

What Does ABA Therapy Cost in Linthicum Heights, 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.

Without Insurance
$120–$150/hr
Full billed rate per hour
With Insurance
Varies

Child and BCBA reading together in a therapy room

We are so grateful for all the staff at BI. Every tech, BCBA, front desk staff has been such a joy to work with. This is our first experience with ABA therapy and it’s been so great to see a program that uses ABA techniques in a positive way.

A Day in ABA Therapy

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.

01

Arrival & Transition

Each day begins with a structured arrival routine that helps children transition comfortably from home to the therapy environment.

02

Individual Learning Activities

1:1 sessions with a trained therapist target each child’s specific goals: communication, behavior, daily living, and more.

03

Naturalistic Play-Based Instruction

Skills are practiced in natural play settings so learning generalizes to real-life situations at home and in the community.

04

Communication Practice

Functional communication is woven throughout the day, not limited to a single block. This includes verbal, gestural, and device-assisted approaches.

05

Peer & Group Activities

Where clinically appropriate, children participate in group activities to practice social interaction, turn-taking, and conversation.

06

Meal, Toileting & Daily-Living Routines

Everyday skills are embedded into the schedule. Eating, toileting, transitions, and self-care are all treated as therapy opportunities.

07

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.

08

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.

Call (855) 782-7822
How long is the wait to start ABA therapy at our Linthicum Heights center?

Wait times at our Linthicum Heights center vary based on current capacity and how quickly a family moves through the intake and insurance authorization steps. Most Behavioral Innovations centers have no or minimal waitlist. If our Linthicum Heights center doesn’t have immediate availability, our intake team can check capacity across other nearby Maryland locations and help you find the nearest opening.

What is the intake process at your Linthicum Heights location and how long does it take?

Getting started at our Linthicum Heights center is a straightforward process: (1) Contact us — you don’t need all documentation ready; (2) Confirm eligibility — we verify insurance benefits at no cost; (3) Schedule a tour — visit our Linthicum Heights center before committing; (4) Complete your child’s BCBA assessment to build an individualized treatment plan; (5) Start services once prior authorization is received. Most families move through the first steps within the first week of reaching out. Authorization timelines depend on your carrier but typically run 1–3 weeks.

What age groups does your Linthicum Heights center work with?

Our Linthicum Heights center serves children from 18 months through 10 years of age. Treatment goals are built from each child’s individual assessment, not their age alone. If your child is approaching or outside the upper end of this range, contact our Linthicum Heights team so we can help you understand your options.

Is ABA therapy available after school at your Linthicum Heights location?

Yes. Our Linthicum Heights center offers after-school social skills group sessions for school-aged children. These are standalone small-group sessions, separate from individual ABA therapy, scheduled to accommodate school dismissal times. Groups are matched by age and skill level. Availability varies by term — contact our Linthicum Heights team for current schedules.

Is your Linthicum Heights center BCBA-supervised?

Yes. Every treatment program at our Linthicum Heights center is designed and actively supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. Sessions are delivered by Registered Behavior Technicians working under that direct BCBA oversight — meaning the clinician who built your child’s program is the same one reviewing progress, adjusting goals, and monitoring session quality on an ongoing basis.

Can I tour your Linthicum Heights center before starting services?

Yes. We encourage families to visit our Linthicum Heights center before committing to anything. Seeing the physical environment, meeting the team, and understanding how a typical session is structured helps families make a better decision — and children transition into the program more smoothly when the setting isn’t unfamiliar on day one. Tours are available by appointment. Call (855) 782-7822 to schedule a time that works for you.

How do I get my child’s diagnosis assessment started for the Linthicum Heights center?

Contact our Linthicum Heights team and let us know you’re looking for a diagnostic evaluation. We can connect you with trusted referring diagnosticians in the Maryland area. If the evaluation confirms an ASD diagnosis, your child can move directly into ABA intake at our Linthicum Heights center.

Does your Linthicum Heights center offer parent training as part of the program?

Yes, and it is built into every program — not offered as an optional add-on. Parent training at our Linthicum Heights center is a structured clinical component with its own goals, session time, and progress tracking. Skills your child develops during ABA sessions need to generalize to home, school, and community settings, and that depends on caregivers understanding and applying the strategies outside of sessions. Your BCBA will work with you to build a parent training plan that fits your schedule.

Which insurance plans are accepted at the Linthicum Heights center?

We are in-network with most major commercial carriers in Maryland. Coverage terms — including prior authorization, approved hours, and cost-sharing — vary by plan even within the same carrier. Our intake team verifies your specific plan benefits before services begin. Call (855) 782-7822 for a free benefits check for our Linthicum Heights location.

What hours are children typically at the Linthicum Heights center?

Center hours at our Linthicum Heights location are Mon–Fri, 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM. Your child’s schedule is individualized based on the clinical recommendation and family needs.

What happens if the Linthicum Heights location is not the best fit?

Our intake team can help you explore other nearby Behavioral Innovations centers in the Maryland area and schedules so your child is matched to the best available option.

How do I find ABA therapy for my autistic child near Linthicum Heights?

Finding the right ABA provider near Linthicum Heights comes down to clinical quality, insurance compatibility, and proximity. Behavioral Innovations operates multiple ABA centers across the Maryland region, which means there is likely a location close to you. Our centers use the same clinical model — individualized BCBA-supervised programming, structured parent training, and session-by-session progress tracking — regardless of which location your child attends.
