Bethesda families juggle demanding careers, tight school schedules, and the same everyday challenges any parent of a child with autism knows well. ABA Prep provides quiet, professional, in-home ABA therapy that respects your family's time and your child's dignity.
Sessions are one-on-one and play-based. Your child's Board Certified Behavior Analyst writes a plan focused on communication, independence, and social skills, then a trained Registered Behavior Technician delivers the daily work — with weekly BCBA supervision and monthly progress reviews for parents.
For most Bethesda families, in-home ABA is the right starting point — familiar space, familiar toys, minimal disruption. Skills built at home naturally spread to the places the family already goes: Bethesda Row, the Capital Crescent Trail, or a favorite table at the farmers' market.
Bethesda children attend MCPS schools including Bradley Hills, Bethesda Elementary, Wood Acres, Burning Tree, and Somerset; middle schools like Pyle and Westland; and Walt Whitman and Bethesda-Chevy Chase high schools. With your consent, our BCBAs share strategies with school teams, attend IEP meetings, and help make home programs and IEP goals reinforce one another.
Bethesda families often benefit from adaptive programs at Cabin John Regional Park, Imagination Stage's inclusive theatre programs, sensory-friendly performances at Strathmore, and Jewish Federation of Greater Washington disability services in the surrounding area.
ABA Prep accepts Maryland Medicaid and is in-network with CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield and CareFirst BlueChoice for eligible ABA services. Benefits, coverage, cost-sharing, and authorization requirements vary by plan; our team verifies eligibility before services begin. We take care of benefits verification and prior authorization, and we're direct about openings — we don't overpromise timelines.
Share a few details and we'll follow up within one business day to review coverage, availability, and next steps.
