About the Center

Positive Development offers a neuro-affirming, play-based approach to autism therapy in Bethesda and the surrounding Maryland suburbs of Washington, using its Developmental Relationship-Based Intervention (DRBI) model rather than traditional high-hour ABA. Care centers on the parent-child relationship and typically involves fewer weekly hours, with in-center occupational, speech, and mental health therapy and virtual diagnostic evaluations also available. Positive Development accepts Aetna, Anthem, and CareFirst in select Maryland, DC, and Virginia areas.
