About ABA Therapy at Shining Moments

Proven by science. Delivered with heart.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the most extensively researched therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder. It is endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, recognized by the U.S. Surgeon General, and widely covered by insurance and Medicaid across Maryland.

ABA helps children build the skills that make daily life easier: communicating needs, following routines, managing emotions, and connecting with others. It also reduces behaviors that get in the way of learning and growth.

At Shining Moments ABA, we deliver therapy in a warm, encouraging way inside your home, where your child already feels safe and comfortable. Your child works one-on-one with a trained behavior technician, supervised by a BCBA who designs, monitors, and adjusts the plan as your child grows.

  • In-Home Sessions: Your child’s therapy happens at home in the environment they know best
  • Free Consultation: Start with a no-pressure call to understand your options
  • Early Intervention: Serving children from age 2 and up
  • 4-Step Process: From intro call to active sessions, we guide you through every step

Getting Started

What your first call with Shining Moments looks like

We take care of the logistics so you can stay focused on what matters most: your child.

Intro Call — We listen first

A member of our team takes time to understand your child, your family’s routines, and what you’re hoping for. No pressure, no jargon. Just an honest conversation about where you are and where you want to go.

Comprehensive Assessment

We learn what makes your child unique — Our BCBA observes, listens, and gathers everything needed to build a meaningful, individualized plan. We look at your child’s strengths, challenges, and goals, and we involve you throughout.

Therapy Begins

1:1 sessions in your home — Your child’s BCBA designs a plan built around real-life goals. A trained behavior technician works with your child through everyday activities like play, mealtimes, and routines, with positive reinforcement at the center of every session.

Stay in the Loop

Progress you can see — We collect data every session, update you regularly with clear insights, and adjust the plan as your child grows. You are never left wondering how things are going.

How We Support Your Child

Individualized services designed around your family’s real life.

In-Home ABA Therapy

Our therapists come to you. In-home sessions mean your child learns in the environment they know best, which makes skills easier to practice, generalize, and carry into daily life. There are no commutes, no unfamiliar settings, and no disruption to your family’s routine. Your BCBA supervises every session and adjusts the plan as your child makes progress.

Parent Coaching and Collaboration

You are your child’s greatest advocate, and we make sure you have the tools to back that up. We work closely with you to build strategies that fit naturally into your family’s day — from managing tricky transitions to encouraging positive behavior during meals, play, and bedtime. Progress doesn’t stop when the session ends because you are equipped to carry it forward.

Individualized Behavior Plans

No two children are alike, and no two plans should be either. After a thorough assessment, your BCBA builds a behavior plan tailored specifically to your child’s strengths, goals, and challenges. As your child grows and hits new milestones, the plan evolves with them.

The Shining Moments Difference

Care that shows up for your child and your family

Science-backed, human-centered care

ABA therapy is rooted in behavioral psychology and backed by decades of research. It is recognized by the U.S. Surgeon General and the American Psychological Association as an effective approach for improving communication, social skills, and daily functioning in children with autism. At Shining Moments, we take that science and deliver it with genuine warmth and care.

Family guided from day one

We don’t design programs around children in isolation. We design them around families. You are involved from the assessment onward, with your priorities and your family’s rhythms shaping everything we do. Parent coaching is built into every program because the strategies that work in sessions need to work at home too.

Progress you can actually see

Our behavior technicians collect data during every session so your BCBA can pinpoint exactly what is helping and where to adjust. We share clear updates and insights with you regularly, so small wins are always visible and the bigger changes are never a surprise.

Therapy that fits your life

We come to you. There are no waiting rooms, no long drives, and no disrupting your child’s day more than necessary. In-home therapy means your child grows in the place they feel safest, and every skill they build is immediately applicable to real life.

FAQ’s

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ABA therapy covered by insurance in Maryland?

In most cases, yes. Maryland law requires insurance providers to cover ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Maryland Medicaid also covers eligible families. We verify your specific benefits before anything is scheduled, so you know exactly what is covered upfront.

How does ABA therapy actually work?

ABA therapy uses proven techniques like positive reinforcement and step-by-step skill-building to help children grow. Your child’s BCBA designs a plan around their specific strengths and goals, and sessions focus on building real-world skills like communication, independence, and managing daily routines. Every plan is tailored, and every session is tracked.

Who is eligible for ABA therapy in Maryland?

Children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder or developmental delays may be eligible for ABA therapy in Maryland. If you are unsure whether your child qualifies, we will walk you through the process and help you understand your options during your free consultation.

For most Maryland families, costs are minimal or fully covered through private insurance or Medicaid. We handle insurance verification and paperwork upfront so you know exactly what to expect before services begin.

How soon can my child start?

We move as quickly as possible. After your initial call, we schedule the assessment and work to get your child into active sessions without unnecessary delays.

What does in-home therapy actually look like?

A trained behavior technician comes to your home and works one-on-one with your child through everyday activities like play, meals, and routines.

Do you offer parent training?

Yes, and it is part of every program. We equip you with the same strategies our therapists use so you can support your child’s growth throughout the day, not just during sessions. Your involvement is one of the most important parts of your child’s progress.
