Getting an autism diagnosis in Baltimore City

Most Baltimore City families start with an evaluation

If your child hasn't been evaluated yet, ask your pediatrician for a referral to Johns Hopkins or a local developmental pediatrician. That's where most Baltimore City families begin. Once you have a diagnosis, we can start therapy within 2–4 weeks. Read: "How to get an autism diagnosis in Maryland" and "First steps after diagnosis."

Geography matters in Baltimore City

Geography shouldn't matter. But it does in Baltimore City.

Baltimore City spreads across multiple neighborhoods. Inner Harbor to Northeast Baltimore is 30 minutes. Canton to Fells Point, Federal Hill to Northwest. A clinic appointment means traffic and parking, your child arriving dysregulated before therapy starts. In-home therapy eliminates that. We come to you, wherever you are in the city. Therapy happens where your child needs the skills.

Consistent care from the same BCBA

Your child works with the same clinician every time

Real clinicians with real roots here. Meet the team. Each BCBA carries a smaller caseload. Your child isn't a number rotating through a roster. Same therapist every session.
