Silver Spring families raise their kids in one of the most linguistically and culturally diverse pockets of Maryland — and our team meets them there. ABA Prep provides one-on-one, BCBA-led therapy in the neighborhoods your child already knows, from Downtown and Woodside to Four Corners, Long Branch, and Forest Glen.
Our clinicians know that ABA in Silver Spring often needs to work across two languages, blended households, and public-transit-based routines. We tailor goals around what your family actually does — riding the Metro to appointments, walking Sligo Creek Trail, ordering at Ellsworth Place, or navigating a busy pickup line at daycare.
Silver Spring students attend MCPS schools such as Piney Branch, Sligo Creek, Rolling Terrace, Woodlin, and Highland Elementary, then middle schools like Silver Spring International, Eastern, and Sligo. With your written consent, our BCBAs can align home programming with your child's IEP or 504 plan, share visual supports the school team can use, and attend IEP meetings when it's helpful.
For most Silver Spring families, sessions happen right in the apartment or house — living room floor, kitchen table, and backyard included. Your Registered Behavior Technician arrives with materials, follows the plan your BCBA wrote, and coaches parents through the routines that trigger stress (transitions, mealtimes, screen time, bedtime). Weekly BCBA supervision keeps the plan tight and honest.
Beyond therapy, we often point families toward local supports: Montgomery County's Infants & Toddlers Program for children under 3, the Autism Society of America (Silver Spring headquarters), Parents' Place of Maryland for IEP advocacy, and inclusive rec programs at Long Branch, Silver Spring, and Wheaton community centers.
ABA Prep accepts Maryland Medicaid and CareFirst. Coverage and current openings are confirmed after our team reviews your request. After you submit a short intake, our team confirms your plan, walks through prior authorization, and lets you know openings in the Silver Spring area.
Share a few details and we'll follow up within one business day to review coverage, availability, and next steps.
