In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Anne Arundel County

Families in Anne Arundel County have several options for ABA delivery. In-home therapy brings a BCBA and registered behavior technicians (RBTs) directly to your home, allowing skills to be taught in natural routines. Center-based programs, often located in Annapolis, Glen Burnie, or Severna Park, offer structured environments with peer interaction and specialized equipment. Telehealth ABA is also available, especially for parent training and progress reviews.

Each setting has unique benefits. In-home therapy can be convenient for busy families, while center-based programs may provide more intensive social opportunities. Telehealth offers flexibility for families in areas like Davidsonville or Pasadena who may prefer remote sessions. Your matched provider will help determine the best fit for your child.

What to look for in an ABA provider

When choosing an ABA provider in Anne Arundel County, look for a team led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who designs and oversees all programming. The provider should conduct a thorough assessment before starting therapy and set individualized goals. Ask about their experience with children your child's age and any specific needs, such as communication or behavior challenges.

Also consider the provider's approach to family involvement and data collection. A good provider will share regular progress updates and offer parent training to help you reinforce skills at home. Check if they accept your insurance or Medicaid and whether they offer the setting (in-home, center, telehealth) that works best for your family.
