How to Get Started with ABA Therapy Maryland

Step 1:
Enrollment

You call or fill out the form. We verify your insurance, explain your coverage, and handle the paperwork.

Step 2:
Assessment & Approval

One of our BCBAs meets with your family and gets to know your child. Then we build a therapy plan around them specifically and get it approved by your insurance.

Step 3:
Therapy Begins

Your child starts working one-on-one with their therapist in your home or school. Your BCBA supervises, adjusts the plan as your child progresses, and keeps you in the loop every step of the way.

How Wonder Star ABA Supports Families in Maryland

In-Home
ABA Therapy

Our therapists come to your home and work on the skills that matter in your daily life—morning routines, mealtimes, transitions, communication. Your child learns where they live, which makes it easier to practice and retain new skills.

School-Based
ABA Therapy

We coordinate with schools across Maryland to provide therapy during the day. Your child gets support right in the classroom, where they need it most.

Parent Training

You'll learn what to do when challenges come up and how to reinforce your child's progress throughout the day. You're part of the team, not on the sidelines.

Why Maryland Families Choose Wonder Star

We Build on Strengths

Your child who organizes everything by color? We see problem-solving skills. The one who memorizes entire books? We see incredible focus. We build on what your child is already good at instead of trying to make them someone they’re not.

Progress That's Tangible

You’ll see your child using words instead of melting down. Following directions without a fight. Playing with a sibling for the first time. These aren’t just data points, they’re moments that change your day.

A Team That Knows Your Kid

Your child works with the same BCBA and therapist every session. We keep caseloads small because we can’t help your child if we don’t actually know them.

Questions We Hear From Maryland Parents

Will ABA Change Who My Child Is?

No. Your child’s personality, interests, and way of seeing the world that all stays. We teach skills that help them express who they are more effectively, not become someone different.

You’ll see it at home before you see it in our data. Your child asking for help instead of melting down. Bedtime getting easier. Transitions without a fight. The changes show up in your daily life.

We find a better match. We pair therapists with kids based on personality and interests, but if it’s not working, we switch. Your child should look forward to sessions, not dread them.

It depends on your child. Most kids receive between 10 and 30 hours per week. Your BCBA will recommend a schedule after the assessment based on your child’s specific needs and goals.

Most families begin therapy within two to four weeks of their first call. We verify insurance upfront, schedule assessments quickly, and don’t drag out the process.

We typically serve children ages 2 through 12, but every situation is different. Contact us, and we’ll let you know if we’re a good fit for your child.

A BCBA is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst—they assess your child, design the therapy plan, and supervise treatment. An RBT is a Registered Behavior Technician—they work directly with your child during sessions, implementing the plan.

Yes. Parent involvement is part of how this works. You’ll learn strategies to reinforce your child’s progress throughout the day, not just during therapy hours.

That’s common. We coordinate with speech therapists, occupational therapists, and schools to make sure everyone’s aligned and working toward the same goals.

Most Ohio insurance plans are required to cover ABA therapy for autism. We handle the paperwork and prior authorizations so you don’t have to chase it down. We’ll verify your benefits before you commit to anything.

It depends on your location and therapist availability. Most families start within two to four weeks, but we’ll give you an honest timeline upfront so you know what to expect.

No. Your child works with the same BCBA and therapist every session. Consistency matters. If something isn’t working, we’ll find a better match—but we don’t rotate staff randomly.

Life happens. We work with families to adjust schedules when needed. Consistency matters for progress, but we’re not rigid about it.

Yes. We coordinate with schools across Ohio to provide therapy during the school day when it makes sense for your child. We work with teachers to make sure your child is supported in the classroom.
