Getting an autism diagnosis in Howard County
Most Howard County families start with an evaluation
If your child hasn't been evaluated yet, ask your pediatrician for a referral to Johns Hopkins or Howard County General Hospital. That's where most Howard County 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."
Maryland Medicaid and insurance coverage
We handle the paperwork
Maryland Medicaid
covers ABA therapy based on medical necessity. No annual cap. We verify, we authorize, you don't worry.
Commercial plans
CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Kaiser Permanente, Aetna, United Healthcare, and more.
Insurance shouldn't be another full-time job.
Geography matters in Howard County
Geography shouldn't matter. But it does in Howard County.
Howard County is known for planned communities like Columbia. Spreading neighborhoods, traffic on I-95 and I-29. A clinic appointment means commute time, your child arriving dysregulated before therapy starts. In-home therapy eliminates that. We come to you, Columbia, Ellicott City, Savage, Laurel. 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.

Mornings don't have to be battles
Before
Before therapy, 7 a.m. means meltdowns.
After
After? Your therapist arrives at 8:15, no commute, no traffic. By 8:45, your child is working on transitions while your therapist celebrates every small win.
