From downtown rowhomes to the farm roads out past Walkersville, Frederick families are watching their kids make progress at home. Yours can be next.
Wherever we're needed
Your BCBA and therapist come to you, whether you're in Ballenger Creek or out in Urbana. Getting shoes on, sitting down for dinner, settling for bed: those are the moments we work on, because they're the ones your child faces every day.
Frederick County Public Schools teachers see your child for hours each day. We talk with them, join IEP meetings and make sure the classroom is building on the same skills as home.
Sessions end, but the afternoon keeps going. Your BCBA teaches you the exact strategies they use so you can handle a meltdown with confidence instead of guesswork.
Toddlers learn fast, and starting early gives them more runway. When your child ages out of the Frederick County Infants and Toddlers Program, we pick up where they left off.
Drop-off doesn't have to mean a pause. We share simple goals with your daycare's teachers so practice continues all day.
Feeding the ducks along Carroll Creek, a Saturday at Baker Park, the checkout line at Wegmans. Real places are where skills get tested, so that's where we practice.
Commuting to DC or Baltimore all week? Saturday and Sunday sessions keep therapy on track.
From Market Street to Middletown
Frederick is part small city, part farm country, and plenty of providers won't drive past Route 15. We will. Our team visits families in Downtown Frederick, Baker Park, Ballenger Creek, Clover Hill, Whittier and Spring Ridge, and out to Linganore, Urbana, Walkersville and Middletown. If your town isn't on that list, call and ask.
No diagnosis yet?
Your pediatrician can refer you to a developmental pediatrician or psychologist. A lot of Frederick families end up at Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, which you can reach at 443-923-9200. Bring us the report, and most families begin therapy two to four weeks later.
We're at your side
You shouldn't have to walk into an IEP meeting alone. Our BCBAs come with you, share what's working at home and help shape goals your child's teachers can use.
Start with the Frederick County Infants and Toddlers Program at 301-600-1612. At age three, we're ready to take over.
The Autism Waiver covers extras like respite care for eligible children. The registry moves slowly, so add your child's name as soon as you can at 866-417-3480.

Patricia and Thomas Gibson

My son went from very limited language to expressing his needs and wants. His therapist's skill in building his communication is remarkable.
