Move Up ABA - Your Trusted ABA Therapy Partners in Maryland
At Move Up ABA, our licensed and compassionate team is dedicated to providing personalized, high-quality care tailored to each child’s unique needs. We focus on creating individualized treatment plans that empower children to overcome challenges and reach their fullest potential.
Insurances We Accept in Maryland
We accept a variety of insurance providers to make getting the care your child needs as easy as possible. If you’re unsure about your coverage, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here to assist you every step of the way!
Your child isn’t a diagnosis; they’re a unique person with their own personality, interests, and way of seeing the world.
At Move Up ABA, we don’t just treat autism. We celebrate your child. Whether they light up when talking about trains, need extra time to process new situations, or have the most infectious laugh—we see all of it. And we build their therapy around who they actually are, not who a textbook says they should be.
The best part? No endless waiting lists while learning opportunities pass by. Your child is ready to develop new skills now, and we’re ready to help them succeed.
Autism Therapy That Meets Your Child Where They Are—Literally
Every child learns differently, and every family lives differently. That’s why we bring exceptional ABA therapy to wherever your child feels most comfortable:
In-Home ABA Therapy: Learning Where Life Actually Happens
Your child’s bedroom is where they feel safe. The living room is where family moments unfold. Our therapists work within your home’s natural rhythm, helping your child build skills using the toys they love and the routines they already know. No more forcing reluctant kids into car seats for appointments—just effective learning woven into real life.
School-Based ABA Therapy: Turning Classroom Challenges into Victories
School can feel overwhelming when you’re different. Our team works directly in your child’s classroom, helping them navigate friendships, focus during lessons, and feel confident raising their hand. We partner with teachers who want to help but might not know how, creating a support system that makes school feel less scary and more exciting.
What Move Up ABA Therapy
In Maryland Can Do for Your Child
ABA therapy isn’t about making your child “normal”—it’s about giving them tools to navigate the world more easily while staying authentically themselves:
Find Their Voice
Whether your child speaks with words, gestures, or pictures, we help them communicate what they're thinking and feeling in ways that work for them.
Manage Big Emotions
Meltdowns aren't "bad behavior"—they're communication. We teach coping strategies that help your child express frustration, excitement, or overwhelm in ways that feel better for everyone.
Build Independence
From tying shoes to making friends, we focus on skills that help your child feel capable and confident in their daily life.
Create Connections
Social skills aren't about forcing friendships—they're about helping your child connect with others in ways that feel natural and meaningful to them.
Why Maryland Families Choose Move Up ABA
Therapists Who Actually Care About Your Kid
Our team doesn't just show up and run through protocols. They learn that your child loves dinosaurs, needs a few extra seconds to process questions, and does their best thinking while bouncing on a therapy ball. They celebrate the small victories you might think no one else notices.
Plans That Make Sense for Your Real Life
We don't hand you a generic treatment plan and call it personalized. We spend time understanding your child's strengths, challenges, and quirks, then create therapy that fits their personality and your family's routine.
Flexibility That Actually Works
Therapy should support your life, not take it over. Whether your child learns best in your living room, their classroom, or our clinic, we adapt to what works for your family—not the other way around.

Questions Parents Actually Ask Us
How do I know if ABA therapy is right for my child?
If your child could use support with communication, social connections, or managing big emotions—or if you just want them to feel more confident navigating daily life—ABA therapy could be really helpful. We’ll talk through your specific situation and help you decide.
Will ABA therapy actually help with making friends?
Absolutely. We don’t teach scripted social interactions—we help your child understand social cues, express themselves authentically, and connect with others in ways that feel natural to them.
How often will we need therapy sessions?
Most families find 2-4 sessions per week work well, but it really depends on your child’s needs and your family’s schedule. We’ll figure out what makes sense for you.
Will insurance actually cover this?
Most insurance plans, including Medicaid, cover ABA therapy. We’ll check your benefits and handle the approval process so you don’t have to stress about it.
What if life gets crazy and we miss sessions?
Life happens—especially with kids! We’ll work with you to reschedule and keep your child’s progress on track. Flexibility is part of how we support families.
