ABA Therapy in Bethesda, Maryland

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.

A calm, respectful in-home ABA program

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.

In-home ABA therapy in Bethesda

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.

  • Serving ZIPs 20814, 20816, and 20817
  • Sessions timed around school and after-school activities
  • Bilingual and multi-therapist teams where needed

MCPS Bethesda schools we coordinate with

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.

Community and recreational resources

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.
