Why Maryland matters to us.
Maryland matters to us because the families here deserve quality ABA close to home. Central Maryland and the DC suburbs are home to families who reach out, advocate, and show up for their kids every day — and our Maryland team was built to match that same energy.
But every Maryland family who reaches out gets the same dedicated team, the same clinical attention, and the same standards we deliver across Florida, Colorado, and every community we serve. We are growing here for the families who trusted us first — and for every family still figuring out who to call. We will keep showing up.

ABA Therapy in Maryland
House of Hearts ABA provides in home and school based ABA therapy for children ages 1 to 18 throughout the state of Maryland. As a dedicated applied behavior analysis provider, we deliver individualized autism therapy in Maryland where children learn best: in their own homes, in their classrooms, and in the community settings where real progress actually shows up. Our BCBAs and Registered Behavior Technicians serve families across Montgomery, Prince George's, Baltimore, Howard, Anne Arundel, Frederick, Harford, and Carroll counties, which means families in Baltimore, Columbia, Germantown, Silver Spring, Waldorf, Frederick, Ellicott City, Rockville, Bethesda, Gaithersburg, Towson, and Annapolis can access high quality ABA services close to home. Every program we build starts with a comprehensive assessment and a treatment plan designed around your child's specific goals, whether that means building communication skills, reducing challenging behaviors, developing daily living independence, or preparing for a successful school year.
Insurance Accepted and No Waitlist for Maryland Families
We know that waiting is the hardest part of an autism diagnosis, which is why House of Hearts ABA maintains no waitlist anywhere in Maryland. We have clinical staff positioned across the Baltimore and Washington suburbs, so when your child is ready to begin ABA therapy, we can get started right away instead of adding another name to a list. We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Aetna, and Cigna, and our team handles insurance verification and authorization for you so that you can focus on your child rather than on paperwork. If your child has recently been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, or you are searching for an ABA therapy provider near you in Maryland who can start quickly, contact House of Hearts ABA today for a free consultation.
What care looks like in Maryland.
In your home
Most Maryland sessions happen in your living room, where your child learns best.
In your child's school
We coordinate with IEP teams across Baltimore, Montgomery, and Howard County public schools.
In-person or over telehealth
Our supervision is delivered in person whenever possible — that is the ideal for direct observation and coaching. Telehealth is the second option, used when scheduling makes in-person difficult or when it is clinically appropriate.
A few Maryland things.
Maryland was the first state to mandate insurance coverage for autism services for kids under 19, back in 2014.
The Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore is one of the largest autism research centers in the country.
Maryland Medicaid covers ABA for children up to age 21 through the Autism Waiver and EPSDT programs.
Maryland questions, answered.
What insurance do you accept for ABA therapy in Maryland?
House of Hearts ABA accepts CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, United Healthcare, Aetna, and Cigna for ABA therapy in Maryland, and we also work with private pay families. Our intake team verifies your benefits for free before you commit to anything, so you know your coverage, your authorization timeline, and any out of pocket cost up front.
Does CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield cover ABA therapy in Maryland?
Yes. CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, the Blue Cross Blue Shield plan for Maryland, covers ABA therapy for children with an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis, and House of Hearts ABA works with these plans. We handle the benefits verification and the prior authorization paperwork for you so your child can start without the usual delay.
Do you take United Healthcare, Aetna, or Cigna for autism therapy in Maryland?
Yes. We work with United Healthcare, Aetna, and Cigna across Maryland, including Baltimore, Columbia, Silver Spring, Rockville, Bethesda, and Frederick. Send us your plan details and we will confirm your specific benefits at no cost.
Which Maryland cities does House of Hearts ABA serve?
We serve families statewide. Our largest Maryland service areas include Baltimore, Columbia, Germantown, Silver Spring, Waldorf, Frederick, Ellicott City, Glen Burnie, Gaithersburg, Rockville, Bethesda, Towson, Bowie, Annapolis, Hagerstown, and Salisbury, plus the surrounding Baltimore and Washington suburbs.
Is there a waitlist for ABA therapy in Maryland?
No. House of Hearts ABA maintains no waitlist anywhere in Maryland. We keep clinical staff positioned across the Baltimore and Washington suburbs, so most families move from first call to first session in weeks rather than waiting months for an opening.
Do you offer private pay ABA therapy in Maryland?
Yes. Families who are uninsured, out of network, or who prefer not to involve insurance can pay privately for ABA therapy in Maryland, and private pay does not require an autism diagnosis to begin. We will walk you through transparent pricing before anything starts.
Do I need a diagnosis before House of Hearts can help?
It depends on how you plan to pay. For insurance-covered ABA, yes — Maryland insurance requires an autism diagnosis from a licensed psychologist or developmental pediatrician before services can begin. For private pay, no — you can begin services without a formal diagnosis. If you don't have one yet and you would like one, we can refer you to a diagnostic partner.
How long is the Maryland Autism Waiver waitlist?
The state-run Autism Waiver has a long waitlist. Most families we serve use Maryland Medicaid or commercial insurance instead, which has no waitlist with us.
Do you serve the DC suburbs?
Yes. Our Maryland team covers Montgomery County, Prince George's County, and Howard County, which includes most of the DC suburbs.
Can my child get ABA at school in Maryland?
Yes, but it depends on the school and the district. We cannot guarantee in-school services in every case because some schools and districts are more difficult to navigate than others. What we can guarantee is that we will work with you and your child's school to try to make it happen wherever the school will permit it.
Is teletherapy an option?
Yes. We offer telehealth supervision and parent training over secure video when in-person is not the right fit.
How quickly can we start?
Most Maryland families move from first call to first session in 14 to 30 days.
