Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Budding Stars ABA

What is ABA therapy?

ABA therapy is a science-based approach rooted in applied behavior analysis that teaches new skills and reduces challenging behaviors affecting daily life.

How does ABA therapy work?

Clinicians break goals into small, measurable steps, apply positive reinforcement, and track data to keep therapy focused and effective.

Who provides ABA therapy at Budding Stars ABA?

BCBAs design every treatment plan, and trained RBTs deliver sessions under direct clinical supervision. Every staff member completes a background check.

Do you offer ABA therapy in the home?

Yes. In-home care is our primary service model, bringing structured support directly into your child’s environment. We also provide ABA in daycare settings.

How does the ABA assessment process work?

Families complete an initial parent consultation and an insurance and funding review, followed by a full skills assessment with a BCBA. When specific behaviors need closer analysis we add a functional behavior assessment. We then review the results with your family and build an individualized treatment plan.

Do parents participate in ABA therapy?

Absolutely. Parent training and caregiver coaching are built into every plan, so progress carries over between sessions.

What insurance plans do you accept?

We accept Medicaid, Aetna, Anthem, BlueCross BlueShield, Humana, Sentara Health Plans, and Tricare. Our intake team verifies benefits and handles prior authorizations, and we can walk you through self-pay options.

Do you work with military families?

Yes. We offer flexible, Tricare-supported therapy that keeps your child’s progress steady through every milestone.

Which areas do you serve?

We provide in-home ABA therapy across Maryland and Virginia, including Baltimore, Silver Spring, Gaithersburg, and Rockville in Maryland, and Fairfax, Alexandria, Arlington, and Richmond in Virginia. Our coverage continues to grow, so ask us about your area.
