Reviews from Maryland and Virginia parents
Why parents send their friends to Move Up
“Reliable services with backup.”
I can’t say enough good things about our therapist who not only is reliable, but also kind and cordial (something rare nowadays). He has become more of a big brother to our kiddo. The best part is the fact that they offer a replacement when the main therapist is sick for example. In addition, the supervisor is very diligent in following our child’s services. I am very glad to have moved to your company.
Ella “I feel hopeful about the future.”
Working with the team at Move Up has been a great experience. They’ve been a huge support for my son and for us as a family. I had never heard of ABA before my son’s diagnosis, but my wife found Move Up and I’m so glad she did. Darielle and the team have been amazing. I really feel supported by them. For the first time in a while, I feel hopeful about the future.
Dan M. “Support from the start.”
My family has had such a positive experience with Move Up ABA. We were new to all of this and were seeking services for my niece. When I called to inquire, they were so friendly and extremely helpful. They were so patient in answering all of my questions. The scheduling process was also smooth, especially with the rep I spoke with.
Brianna L. “The progress speaks for itself.”
The RBT and BCBA working with my son have been exceptional. Their consistency, professionalism, and dedication have made a clear difference.
At my son’s recent birthday, family and friends commented on how much his behavior and speech have improved. That progress speaks for itself.
What also sets Move Up ABA apart is their weekly check-ins with families to see how things are going. They are organized, responsive, and truly committed to the children and families they serve.
Ade O. “We weren’t just another case.”
From the very beginning, Move Up made me feel heard, understood, and supported during what can often feel like an overwhelming process. Their stellar customer service truly stood out, so much so that if it hadn’t been for our conversation, I might have considered other options for my son’s care.
They took the time to answer all of my questions with patience and clarity, and more importantly, they made me feel like we weren’t just another case. The warmth and professionalism gave me confidence that Move Up ABA is the right fit for our family.

ABA therapy FAQs for Maryland and Virginia families
Questions parents ask us all the time
Do we need a diagnosis to start ABA therapy?
Yes, an ASD diagnosis is required to begin services. If you’re still in the diagnosis process, reach out anyway, as our team can walk you through what’s next and help you avoid unnecessary delays once you’re ready.
What ages do you serve?
We work with children from toddlers through their teen years, and your BCBA tailors every plan to your child’s age and stage.
How long does it take to get started?
Every family’s insurance and paperwork timeline looks a little different, so we can’t promise an exact date. What we can tell you is that our team has an established, smooth intake process and long-standing relationships with the insurance companies we work with, so once everything is in place, we move quickly to get a BCBA and RBT assigned to your family.
How long does ABA therapy take to show progress?
Every child learns at their own pace, but many families notice changes within the first few months. Your BCBA tracks progress against your child’s treatment plan, so you’ll always see how far your child has come.
Which insurances do you accept?
We work with Maryland Medicaid and Virginia Medicaid, including the major MCOs. Our team handles the insurance process directly so you don’t need to figure out the details yourself. See the full insurance list here.
How does scheduling work?
We require a consistent weekly minimum so your child has enough time in session to actually build and retain new skills. Within that, our team works around your family’s schedule so it works for you.
What happens if our therapist is sick or unavailable?
We have backup coverage in place so a missed session doesn’t mean a missed week. Consistency matters too much to leave to chance.
How will I know how my child is progressing?
Every family gets a dedicated case manager and weekly check-ins, so you always know how things are going. Your BCBA reviews progress against your child’s treatment plan regularly, so updates come from real data.
How does Move Up ABA give back to the community?
Our outreach team spends time at autism centers, resource fairs and community events, building relationships and sharing resources with families. Being part of the community is part of who we are.
What makes Move Up ABA different?
Move Up is BCBA-founded and parent-led. Our clinical team brings the expertise, and our leadership knows firsthand what families are going through, so every decision about staffing, scheduling and care is made with both in mind.
