How we help Ellicott City kids
School-based ABA therapy in Ellicott City
We partner with your child's team at the Howard County Public School System and come to IEP meetings, so school and home share one approach.
Parent training
Ever had a plan fall apart on a crowded Main Street afternoon? Parent training shows you what to do in the moment, using the same techniques your BCBA relies on.
Early intervention
For toddlers, we team up with the Howard County Infants and Toddlers Program so moving into ABA is one easy step.
Daycare coordination
Your child's daycare teachers get a few clear goals from us, so practice continues while you're at work.
Community-based ABA therapy in Ellicott City
A visit to Centennial Park, a stop at the Miller Branch library, errands along Route 40. We help your child handle the outings your family takes every week.
Weekend ABA therapy
Weekend sessions for Ellicott City families with full schedules.
