ABA therapy center profile

Helping Hands Family Baltimore: three clinics and Maryland Medicaid accepted

Helping Hands Family runs three ABA clinics inside Baltimore (Federal Hill, Falls Road, and Brewers Hill), which is unusual for the city and gives families more than one center close to home. The model is child-led and play-based, with BCBA-designed programs delivered by RBTs under direct supervision, plus parent training and social-skills groups. Services start at 18 months, with dedicated early autism programming for ages 2 to 6. Helping Hands explicitly accepts Maryland Medicaid (including Optum and Kaiser Medicaid) alongside CareFirst, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Tricare, and Kaiser commercial plans. Verify your specific plan before intake.

No reviews yet

Blossom ABA Therapy is a multi-state group that pairs upbeat branding with evidence-based applied behavior analysis. The Baltimore team focuses on communication, flexibility, and daily living skills while keeping you informed with clear data and practical coaching. Sessions can happen at home, in school, or in the community depending on where the goals need to live. That flexibility lets learners practice store trips, classroom transitions, or sibling play in the real settings you care about. Billing specialists help Eastern Shore families interpret authorizations and lock in weekly hours insurers will fund. Other Maryland hubs can keep you inside the same provider network if you split time between the Shore and the Baltimore and Washington corridor.
