In-Home & School-Based ABA Therapy in Baltimore, MD
Helping children with autism grow, one skill at a time, at home and at school across Baltimore City and Baltimore County.
Baltimore is a city full of life, from the buzzing energy of the Inner Harbor to the world-class care at Johns Hopkins Hospital just a few miles away. Families here want the best for their children, and Get Set ABA is proud to be part of that story.
Get Set ABA provides in-home ABA therapy in Baltimore, MD, for children on the autism spectrum, along with school-based ABA and parent training. Our BCBA-led team helps kids build real, everyday skills like talking with others, handling routines, and staying safe. Every child is different, so we build each plan around your child’s strengths and goals.
Whether you are just getting started or switching providers, our team is here to make the process simple. We bring the therapy to you, work within your child’s school, and train the people who matter most in your child’s life.

Meet the Team Behind Your Child's Growth
Baltimore BCBAs who show up, listen, and get results.
Our Baltimore team is made up of Board Certified Behavior Analysts and trained therapists who have spent years working with local families. They know Baltimore schools, Baltimore routines, and the daily challenges that come with raising a child on the autism spectrum in this city.
Sarah M., BCBA
Sarah has worked as a behavior analyst in Baltimore for over seven years. She got her start in early intervention, helping toddlers between the ages of two and four build first words and social skills before entering school. She has worked with dozens of Baltimore families and brings both patience and clear communication to every session.
James T., BCBA
James focuses on school-age children and works closely with teachers and parents to make sure therapy goals carry over into everyday life. He has supported kids in Baltimore City Public Schools for five years and knows what it takes to get real traction inside and outside the classroom.
Both bring Maryland licensure, years of hands-on experience, and a no-jargon approach to parent communication.
We Work Inside Baltimore Schools Too
Because kids spend most of their day in class, not at home.
School is where a lot of the hard moments happen. Transitions between classes, lunchtime noise, group projects, and unexpected schedule changes. Children on the autism spectrum often need structured support during the school day, not just after it.
Get Set ABA provides school-based ABA therapy in Baltimore City Public Schools and Baltimore County Public Schools. Our therapists work directly inside classrooms, supporting teachers and students side by side. We also join IEP meetings to make sure your child’s school plan lines up with what we are doing in therapy.
If your child already has an Individualized Education Program, we work with the existing team rather than around it. Our goal is to make the whole support network stronger.
We partner with schools to reduce disruptions, build communication skills, and help kids feel more confident during the school day. That is educational ABA at work.
Your Insurance Probably Covers This
No surprises. Just clear answers about what your plan pays for.
Insurance coverage for ABA therapy in Baltimore is more accessible than most families expect. Maryland law requires state-regulated health plans to cover habilitative services for children, including ABA therapy for autism, and Maryland Medicaid covers ABA for eligible children.
Plans through large employers can follow different rules, so we check every family’s benefits individually. We work with Aetna, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Kaiser Permanente Mid-Atlantic, UnitedHealthcare, Maryland Physicians Care, Priority Partners, and many other plans, including Maryland Medicaid managed care organizations.
Our intake team handles the insurance check for you. We contact your provider, confirm your benefits, and walk you through what is covered before your child’s first session. No confusing paperwork, no unexpected bills.
We are accepting new families in Baltimore right now, with no wait list.
Starting Is Easier Than You Think
Four steps from your first call to your child’s first session.
Many Baltimore parents put off getting started because they do not know where to begin. Here is exactly what happens when you reach out to Get Set ABA.
Step 1. Call or Fill Out Our Form
Reach us at 877-643-8738 or submit our online form at getsetaba.com. Someone from our Baltimore team will respond within one business day.
Step 2. We Check Your Insurance
Our team contacts your insurance provider and confirms coverage. We explain what is covered so you can make a confident decision.
Step 3. Your Child Gets Assessed
A BCBA meets with your family to learn about your child's strengths, challenges, and daily routines. This happens at your home or your child's school, whatever works best.
Step 4. Therapy Begins
We build a therapy plan and set a regular schedule. Sessions start within your home, school, or both.
Most families never need to visit our office. Therapy happens at home, at school, or in the community, wherever your child learns best.

Families Speak for Themselves
Real words from parents whose children grew with Get Set ABA.
“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 started to show us calmer behaviors.”
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.

“We’ve seen an improvement in Noah’s communication skills.”
Shira's expertise was 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. It is clear that she is passionate about her work, and we think this made a huge difference in the outcomes we have seen: improvement in Noah’s communication skills, reduction in challenging behaviors and better emotional regulation.

“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.

If you are unsure whether your address is in our service area, call us and we will confirm right away.
How long does it take to start therapy after I reach out?
Most families in Baltimore start within two to four weeks of their first contact. The speed depends on insurance authorization timelines and scheduling availability. Our team works to move things along as quickly as possible.
Can a therapist come to my child's school in Baltimore City Public Schools?
Yes. We work inside Baltimore City Public Schools and Baltimore County Public Schools. Our therapists collaborate with teachers and school staff during the school day to support your child’s IEP goals and classroom behavior.
What insurance plans do you accept in Baltimore?
We work with Aetna, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Kaiser Permanente Mid-Atlantic, UnitedHealthcare, Maryland Physicians Care, Priority Partners, Maryland Medicaid, and many other plans. Coverage depends on your specific plan, so our intake team verifies your benefits for free before services begin.
What does a typical ABA therapy session look like at home?
A trained therapist comes to your home and works directly with your child on specific goals set by your BCBA. Sessions are structured but often look like play. Your child might practice asking for things they want, responding to their name, or working through a daily routine like getting dressed. Parents are usually nearby and get real-time coaching during or after each session.
Do you offer parent training as part of ABA therapy in Baltimore?
Yes. Parent and teacher training is a core part of what we do. You learn the same strategies your child’s therapist uses so you can support progress between sessions. Many of the skills children build in therapy stick faster when the whole family is on the same page.
How does ABA therapy help with school in Baltimore?
Our therapists can attend IEP meetings, observe your child in class, and work directly with teachers to create strategies that reduce challenging behavior and build learning skills. We coordinate with the school team so nothing falls through the cracks between home and school.
What ages do you work with in Baltimore?
We work with children across a wide age range, from toddlers in early intervention to school-age kids and teenagers. The earlier a child starts ABA therapy, the more time they have to build foundational skills, but it is never too late to see meaningful progress.
