Why Maryland Families Choose Get Set ABA
We’re not just another therapy agency; we’re a team that treats your child like family
Get Set ABA was built on one simple idea: every child on the autism spectrum has real potential, and the right support can help them reach it.
Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) work directly with your child, your family, and your child’s school team. We don’t hand off families to overloaded caseloads. We stay involved, we track progress, and we adjust the plan when needed.
Here’s what sets us apart:
- Family-First Approach: We design every program around your child's strengths, not just their challenges. Your input matters from day one, and it keeps mattering throughout the entire process.
- Flexible Service Delivery: We offer in-home ABA therapy, school-based support, and parent and teacher training. Wherever your child spends their time, we can meet them there.
- Experienced, Credentialed Clinicians: Every therapist on our team holds proper certification and ongoing training. In Maryland, BCBAs must meet state licensing requirements and continuing education standards; our team exceeds both.
- Progress You Can See: We collect data during every session and share clear reports with families. You'll always know where your child stands and what's coming next.
ABA Therapy That Fits Your Life in Maryland
Coverage you might already have, let’s check
Paying for autism therapy is a real concern for many families. The good news is that ABA therapy in Maryland is often covered by Medicaid and major insurance plans.
Under Maryland law, most private health insurance plans are required to cover ABA therapy when it is medically necessary. Maryland Medicaid, including Priority Partners and Maryland Physicians Care, also covers ABA services for children who qualify under the Maryland Autism Waiver.
Insurance plans we work with include:
We handle the insurance verification process for you. Our team checks your benefits, explains what’s covered, and helps you get started without the billing headache.
Coverage details vary by plan. We’ll confirm your specific benefits before services begin.
Getting Started Is Simple
From your first call to your child’s first session, here’s how it works
We know starting ABA therapy can feel like a lot. That’s why we keep the process clear and straightforward from the very beginning.
Step 1: Free Consultation
Call us or fill out our online form. A member of our team will reach out to learn about your child and your family's goals.
Step 2: Insurance Verification
We check your insurance coverage and walk you through what's included. No surprise bills, no confusing paperwork.
Step 3: Clinical Assessment
A BCBA meets with your child and your family to complete a thorough assessment. This helps us understand your child's skills, goals, and areas that need support.
Step 4: Therapy Begins
We build a program around the assessment results and match your child with the right therapist. Sessions start in your home, school, or wherever works best for your family.
ABA Services Built Around Your Child's Day
Home, school, or both, we go where the learning happens
Get Set ABA offers three core services for Maryland families. Each one is built to support your child in the settings where they spend the most time.
ABA Therapy at Home
Learning at home means learning in real life. Our therapists come directly to your home and work with your child during everyday routines, morning schedules, mealtimes, play, and bedtime. Skills are practiced right where they'll actually be used, which helps children apply what they learn more naturally. Home-based ABA is especially helpful for younger children and those who do best in familiar, low-pressure settings.
ABA Therapy in School
School is one of the most important places where a child with autism develops. Our school-based ABA services put trained support inside the classroom. We work alongside teachers, aides, and school staff to help your child participate in class, follow routines, build friendships, and meet their IEP goals. Our team communicates directly with school staff so everyone is working from the same playbook.
Parent and Teacher Training
The people who spend the most time with a child have the biggest impact. That's why we offer direct training for parents and teachers. We teach you the techniques our therapists use, how to reinforce skills, handle challenging behaviors, and keep progress moving between sessions. Parents often tell us this training changes how they see their child and their confidence at home.
The Team Behind Your Child's Progress
Certified, experienced, and actually invested in your family
Get Set ABA’s Maryland team is made up of credentialed professionals who meet the state’s licensing requirements for ABA providers.
Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs)
BCBAs hold a master’s degree or higher, complete rigorous supervised fieldwork hours, and pass a national certification exam. In Maryland, they must also meet Carelon (formerly Beacon Health) registration requirements to deliver services through most major insurance plans. Our BCBAs design every treatment plan and supervise all therapy sessions.
Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs)
RBTs work directly with children during sessions. They are trained, supervised, and credentialed through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB). Every RBT on our team is matched to each child carefully, because the right fit makes a real difference.
We don’t cut corners on credentials or supervision. Your child’s progress depends on a strong clinical team, and that’s exactly what we bring.
Families Who Found Their Way Forward
Real stories. Real progress. Right here in Maryland.
“Dannon can now use language to share his emotions.”
At age 5, Dannon had major language delays and behavior that disrupted every area of life – school, camp, even car rides. Our BCBA made no judgements, just worked to understand and help. She always looked at the whole picture. Dannon’s now more communicative and regulated, can express emotions, and is socially interested. He even transitioned to a self-contained school and is succeeding academically, thanks to the skills he gained with ABA.

Mateo was struggling to keep up socially with his peers. And he was super-impulsive. Our BCBA was a pleasure – very good at coming up with solutions and appropriate behavioral plans. Mateo started to show us calmer behaviors. He understood more of what was expected of him. There’s so much to gain by making goals and sticking to them.

Shira’s expertise were evident in the way she tailored strategies to meet our son’s needs. She was patient, consistent, and genuinely invested in our son’s progress.

“Aliza has social skills now – and a job.”
Aliza couldn’t navigate social settings, didn’t know her classmates’ names, and was bullied. Our therapist helped us and the school support her better. She prepared Aliza for camp, school changes, and eventually helped us find the right special ed setting. Aliza’s no longer overwhelmed socially and can understand other perspectives. She’s gained the skills she needs to get and keep a job and try new experiences.

“James started tolerating changes in routine.”
James had a lot of words but did not communicate effectively. He was often in his own world and did not interact with other children. Our BCBA treated him like her only client. She pushed him to learn, even teaching him how to read with sight words. He was so much happier when he learned how to communicate, read and entertain himself. Now he’s calmer, understands explanations, and can tolerate changes in routine.
