Helping Hands Family

This Baltimore County office (Security Boulevard) serves infants through school age with ABA in the center, at home, or in school/daycare—plus diagnostics and parent coaching in the same workflow when families need them. BCBAs and LBAs lead clinical decisions. Payers frequently referenced include Aetna and Aetna Medicaid, CareFirst Maryland, Cigna, Optum and Optum Medicaid, United Healthcare and United Healthcare Community Plan, Beacon Health Options, ComPsych, Evernorth, and Magellan. Double-check authorizations because Medicaid and commercial lines differ.

Eleos keeps services out of a brick-and-mortar clinic: teams work in Baltimore homes, schools, and everyday community settings. Caregiver training is standard so parents can repeat strategies after the session ends. Goals typically include communication, classroom readiness, social participation, and life skills. Listed payers include Medicaid, Cigna, Aetna, and Blue Cross Blue Shield—confirm county-specific coverage. Service footprint spans Baltimore City and nearby counties.

Life Skills Autism Academy's South Baltimore location runs center-based ABA for children ages 1 to 5. The facility is set up for early childhood—predictable routines, one-to-one teaching blocks, and small-group practice—rather than a general clinic where ABA is one specialty among many unrelated ones. Goals cover communication, play, self-care, and classroom-ready behaviors; the team adjusts targets as skills improve. Call intake for current insurance participation, hours, and waitlist status.
