Our team does whatever it takes
Admire ABA provides personalized ABA therapy in Maryland, going above and beyond to help children with autism grow, connect, and thrive.
How ABA therapy helps children with autism throughout Maryland
Every child has different challenges. It might be buttoning their shirt, expressing what they want, or connecting with friends. With ABA therapy, we break each skill down into small, manageable steps and practice until it becomes natural.
Families in Maryland count on Admire ABA for ABA therapy because
We start by
listening.
Before goals, before plans, we listen. We want to know what your child loves, what’s been hard, what keeps you up at night. Because that’s where the real work begins.
We take progress
personally.
Every step forward matters, especially the ones that take time. When your child has a breakthrough, we celebrate like it’s our own. Because your child’s wins are our wins.
We follow
through.
If we say we’ll call, we call. If something needs fixing, we fix it. And if your child needs more, we find a way to make it happen.
ABA therapy built for how Maryland families live
Maryland isn't one place. It's Baltimore rowhomes and Bethesda suburbs. It's Hagerstown's slower pace and Silver Spring's density. It's families juggling two jobs, long commutes on 270 and 95, and school systems that vary wildly from county to county.
We serve families across all of it.
From Baltimore to Bethesda, from Hagerstown to the Eastern Shore — if your family is in Maryland, we’re here for you.

What Maryland families say about Admire ABA
"They actually showed up when they said they would."
"We tried two other providers in Montgomery County before Admire. Both had waitlists, both were terrible about communication. Admire got us started within two weeks and our therapist has never missed a session."

"My son's therapist gets him."
"Our RBT has been with us for eight months now. She knows when to push, when to back off, when to make him laugh. My son asks for her by name. That's everything."

"They handled all the insurance stuff."
"I was dreading dealing with Medicaid authorizations. Admire's intake team walked me through everything, submitted all the paperwork, and kept me updated. I didn't have to chase anyone down."

"Weekend sessions saved us."
"Both my husband and I work full-time in DC. Weekday therapy wasn't going to work. Admire offers Saturday sessions and it's been a game-changer for our family."

"They helped us with the IEP meeting."
"Our BCBA came to my daughter's IEP meeting at her school in Howard County. She explained what supports our daughter needed and backed it up with data. The school listened."

Our roadmap to progress
It starts with connection
Your child uses words instead of screaming. They brush their teeth without a meltdown. They play with other kids. The moments that felt impossible become routine.We talk about your child — whether they have a diagnosis, or if you need to get one. We check insurance coverage, answer your questions, and make sure the first steps feel clear and supported.
Continues with understanding.
A BCBA meets your child and builds a treatment plan based on what they need to learn and what’s getting in the way. We don’t use templates. Every plan is written for your child.
We build what works
Therapy starts. Your child works with an RBT under BCBA supervision. Skills build. Behaviors decrease. We track everything and adjust when needed.
Then watch growth happen.
Therapy begins, steady and personal. We celebrate progress, adjust when needed, and stay close as new milestones take shape.
Insurance coverage for ABA therapy in Maryland
We work with most major insurance plans serving Maryland families:
Maryland’s autism insurance law requires commercial plans to cover ABA therapy for children with autism up to age 21. Coverage varies by plan, but most Maryland families pay little to nothing out of pocket.
Maryland Medicaid (HealthChoice) covers ABA therapy with no annual dollar cap through age 21.
We handle all insurance verification, prior authorizations, and claims. You don’t chase paperwork.

Questions parents ask:
Do you help with insurance or Medicaid?
Yes. Our team takes care of coverage checks, authorizations, and talking with your provider — so you don’t have to. You’ll always know what’s covered and what to expect before therapy begins.
How involved are parents in therapy?
Very. You know your child best, and what you share helps us do our job better. We’ll keep you updated, show you what’s working, and teach simple ways to help at home. Therapy works best when we work together.
How soon can therapy start?
Once coverage is approved and the first assessment is done, we move quickly to find the right therapist for your family. Most families start within a few weeks.
What kinds of things does my child work on during therapy?
That depends on your child’s goals. Communication skills. Social interaction. Daily living skills like getting dressed, brushing teeth, following directions. Reducing behaviors that interfere with learning. Every plan is individualized.
What does an ABA session look like?
Play-based, positive, interactive. Your child works on skills through activities they enjoy — games, toys, movement, books. The therapist uses positive reinforcement to encourage learning. It doesn’t look like drills or flashcards.
Do you work with Maryland schools?
Yes. We coordinate with teachers, attend IEP meetings, and make sure strategies from therapy carry over into the classroom. We work with school districts throughout Maryland.
Can therapy happen on weekends?
Yes. We offer weekend sessions for families who need them.
