Expert ABA therapy across Maryland

Your child is already a star. We just help them glow brighter.

All Star ABA brings personalized, compassionate ABA therapy to families across Maryland: from the rowhouses of Baltimore to the suburbs of Montgomery County, from Frederick's historic neighborhoods to the beaches of the Eastern Shore.


Our bilingual BCBAs and RBTs provide in-home, center-based, and school-based therapy tailored to your child's unique strengths.

Why Maryland families choose All Star ABA

Because you shouldn't have to choose between work and your child's progress

We bring therapy to your doorstep

Whether you're commuting into DC from Rockville, working from home in Columbia, or managing a Baltimore household, we know your time is precious. In-home sessions mean your child learns where they're most comfortable—and you're not spending hours each week stuck in Maryland traffic driving to appointments.

Hablamos

español

Maryland's Latino community deserves support in their language. Our Spanish-speaking BCBAs and therapists work with families across the state, from the immigrant communities of Langley Park to established neighborhoods in Silver Spring and beyond.

We actually understand Maryland insurance

Priority Partners. Amerihealth Caritas. Maryland Medicaid MCOs. The DDA waiver system. We know it's confusing—we handle all of it. You shouldn't need a law degree to get your child the therapy they deserve.

No waitlist means no more waiting

Other Maryland providers tell you it'll be 4-6 months. We start most families within 2-4 weeks. Because your child at 3 is very different from your child at 3.5—those months matter.

Progress you can actually see

Your child will surprise you. The kid who couldn't sit through dinner suddenly helps set the table. The child who melted down at every transition starts handling changes without falling apart. That's what happens when BCBAs track data obsessively and adjust constantly.

ABA therapy services across Maryland

Wherever your child needs us, that's where we'll be

A drawing of a swirl with a star on a white background

Your Baltimore rowhome. Your Columbia townhouse. Your Frederick single-family. Your Bethesda high-rise. We come to you. Your child learns to communicate at the breakfast table, practice social skills with siblings in the living room, and manage routines in the environment that actually matters—home.

Our Maryland clinic offers what home can't always provide: structured group settings where kids practice social skills with peers, specialized therapy spaces designed for focused work, and an environment built specifically for learning.

We work with Baltimore City Schools, Montgomery County Public Schools, Frederick County, and districts across Maryland. Our therapists coordinate with your child's IEP team, support them in the classroom, and make sure skills transfer from therapy to school.

You know your child better than anyone. We teach you what we're doing so you can reinforce it everywhere—at Wegmans in Columbia, at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, at family gatherings in Annapolis. You become the expert.

Getting a diagnosis in Maryland can take months through traditional channels. Our BCBAs provide thorough evaluations that help you understand your child and access the services they need—fast.

What your child will work on in Maryland

Life as you know it will never be the same (in the best way possible)

Communication that changes everything

The child who couldn't tell you they were hungry starts asking for snacks. The kid who screamed when frustrated starts using words. The toddler who seemed locked away starts reaching for you. Communication unlocks their world.

Social skills that stick

Playing with neighborhood kids at the playground in Ellicott City. Joining group activities at Maryland schools. Making friends at birthday parties instead of sitting alone. These aren't small things—they're everything.

Independence you didn't think was possible

Getting dressed without a battle. Brushing teeth without a meltdown. Following the morning routine while you get ready for your commute to DC. Skills that make everyone's life easier.

Behaviors that actually change

Fewer meltdowns at Target in Towson. Smoother transitions between activities. Less aggression, less self-injury, more regulation. We figure out why the behavior happens and teach better alternatives.

School readiness for Maryland classrooms

Sitting during circle time. Following teacher directions. Completing work. The skills that help your child succeed in Maryland's competitive school systems—whether that's Baltimore City, Montgomery County, or anywhere else.

How to get started with ABA therapy in Maryland

From "I don't know where to start" to "We're really doing this"

Because every age brings new possibilities. At All Star ABA, we support children and young adults from 1 to 21 years old, tailoring therapy to their unique developmental stage, interests, and strengths.

Call 443-214-2318 or fill out our form. We'll answer your questions, verify your Maryland insurance (yes, even the confusing MCO plans), and tell you exactly what to expect. No pressure, no sales pitch.

One phone call

One of our Board Certified Behavior Analysts meets with your family—in Baltimore, Frederick, Rockville, wherever you are. They get to know your child, understand what's working and what's not, and start building a plan.

Assessment with a Maryland BCBA

We handle Maryland's insurance maze

Authorization from your MCO. Coordination with DDA if needed. All the paperwork Maryland requires. You don't touch any of it—we do.

Your child begins working with their therapist. In your home, at our clinic, or at their Maryland school. Progress tracking starts on day one. You finally stop feeling like you're drowning.

What Maryland families are saying

Listen to parents from Baltimore, Columbia, and beyond

"My daughter is a completely different child now"

"Before All Star ABA, my daughter couldn't communicate what she needed. Meltdowns were constant. Now she uses words, she plays with her brother, she's actually happy. We live in Baltimore and the therapists come right to our rowhome—it's been life-changing."


— Cheyanne R., Baltimore City

"They actually answer the phone"

"I've worked with other Maryland providers who disappear after enrollment. All Star is different. When I call, someone picks up. When we have questions about insurance or the treatment plan, our BCBA responds. That support matters when you're in Columbia juggling work and therapy schedules."


— Sandra O., Columbia

"No 6-month waitlist changed everything"

"Every other provider in Montgomery County told us it would be months. All Star started therapy in three weeks. For a child with autism, those months are critical. We're in Silver Spring and so grateful we found them."


— Kendal, Silver Spring

"Finally, someone who speaks Spanish"

"Being able to talk to our BCBA in Spanish made all the difference. We understood the treatment plan, we knew what to do at home, we felt like partners instead of confused parents. All Star gets our Gaithersburg community."


— Maria G., Gaithersburg

"My son actually looks forward to therapy"

"I was worried therapy would feel like punishment. Instead, my son gets excited when his therapist arrives at our Frederick home. They make it fun, they make it work, and they've helped him grow so much."


— David K., Frederick

"My daughter is a completely different child now"

"Before All Star ABA, my daughter couldn't communicate what she needed. Meltdowns were constant. Now she uses words, she plays with her brother, she's actually happy. We live in Baltimore and the therapists come right to our rowhome—it's been life-changing."


— Cheyanne R., Baltimore City

Questions Maryland families are asking

Everything you're wondering (and probably Googling at 2am)

  • Do you really accept Maryland Medicaid?

    Yes. All MCOs—Priority Partners, Amerihealth Caritas, Maryland Physicians Care, all of them. We handle the authorization process so you don't drown in paperwork.

  • How fast can we actually start in Maryland?

    Most families go from first call to first session within 2-4 weeks. Not 6 months. Not "we'll call you when there's an opening." Weeks.

  • Do you work with Maryland schools?

    Yes. Baltimore City Schools, Montgomery County, Howard County, Frederick County, and districts across Maryland. We coordinate with IEP teams and provide school-based therapy when appropriate.

  • What if we don't speak English?

    Tenemos terapeutas y BCBAs que hablan español. Maryland's Latino families get support in their language.

  • Do you serve all of Maryland, or just certain areas?

    All of Maryland. Baltimore to the Eastern Shore, DC suburbs to Western Maryland, Southern Maryland to the Pennsylvania line. If you're in the state, we serve you.

  • How many therapy hours will my Maryland insurance cover?

    It depends on your plan and your child's needs. Typical Maryland treatment plans range from 10-40 hours per week. We'll verify exactly what your insurance covers before you start.

  • Will my child have the same therapist every time?

    Yes. Consistency matters. Your child builds a relationship with their therapist and BCBA—they don't get rotated through different staff every week.

  • What if we're not seeing progress?

    We track data every session. If something's not working, we change it immediately. You'll never wonder if therapy is helping—you'll see it.

  • Can you help us navigate Maryland's DDA waiver system?

    Yes. Many of our families use DDA waivers. We know the system and can help you understand your options.
