How In-Home ABA Therapy Helps Children in Carroll County

Learning in a Familiar Environment

Children develop essential skills in the comfort of their own home, where learning naturally takes place. In-home ABA therapy helps them practice communication, motor activities, and social interactions in everyday situations. This approach makes therapy more effective and easier to generalize.

Simplifies ABA Therapy for Families

With in-home ABA therapy, there’s no need to travel to a clinic. Sessions take place in your home, saving time and making scheduling more convenient for busy families.

Strengthens Family Involvement

Caregivers learn hands-on strategies to support their child’s development during daily routines. This active role helps reinforce progress and encourages lasting growth beyond therapy sessions.

Our Accepted Insurance Plans

STEPS Behavioral Health works with most major insurance providers. Reach out to us with any questions about coverage in Maryland—we’re here to help you find the best options.

4 Steps to In-Home ABA Therapy in Carroll County

The role of parents and caregivers in the therapy process:

Assessment

Meet with your BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) to discuss your child’s goals and needs. They will observe behavior, assess skills, and identify areas for growth.

Development

Your BCBA will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your child’s needs and family goals. They will collaborate with the team and your insurance provider to ensure access to the most effective therapy.

Therapy

Therapy officially starts! You and your child will work closely with the therapy team to implement the goals set with your BCBA. Regular communication ensures steady progress, and you’ll also learn the strategies your child is practicing.

Monitoring

We continuously track your child’s progress, reviewing data regularly to ensure their therapy plan evolves with their needs. Adjustments are made to support ongoing growth and development.

  1. Yes! For children over the age of 5, we provide behavioral support in schools that allow it. Many private schools permit ABA therapy, while most public schools do not. Our BCBAs can also attend IEP meetings and conferences to help address behavioral challenges your child may face.
  2. If additional support is needed, STEPS Behavioral Health offers advocacy services at an out-of-pocket cost. Please contact our intake coordinator for more details.

Yes, but coverage varies based on your specific plan. Medicaid typically covers ABA therapy, while commercial insurance plans may require copays or have other coverage limitations. For more details, contact your insurance provider.

ABA therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis) is a science-based approach that focuses on improving learning and behavior. It helps individuals with autism develop essential life skills by reinforcing positive behaviors and reducing those that interfere with progress. Therapy is personalized to each child’s needs and implemented through structured sessions, real-life applications, and consistent support.

Yes! We offer social skills groups every evening for children over five receiving ABA therapy. Our Early STEPS early intervention program blends individual therapy with group play and customized activities to support each child’s unique abilities. Older clients also have opportunities to interact with others in the community, practicing age-appropriate skills in a fun and engaging environment.

The number of recommended ABA therapy hours depends on each child’s individual needs. School-aged children typically receive around 15 hours per week, while those enrolled in our Early STEPS program average 30 hours per week. To ensure meaningful progress, a minimum of 10 hours per week is required.

A BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) holds a master’s degree and is responsible for creating, overseeing, and modifying treatment plans to ensure effective therapy. An RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) is a certified professional who works directly with clients to apply ABA strategies, following the guidance of a BCBA. A BT (Behavior Technician) has a similar role to an RBT but may not yet be certified. They support therapy sessions and carry out treatment plans under the supervision of a BCBA.
Parents play a vital role in reinforcing ABA strategies beyond therapy sessions. Your BCBA will provide guidance on applying effective techniques at home. Consistently using these strategies in daily routines strengthens learning and supports long-term behavioral growth.
ABA therapy is designed to help children with autism who face challenges with behavior, daily routines, or skill development. If your child needs support in these areas, ABA could be a beneficial approach. Contact our team to learn how we can help!
