We know where you are right now
"We've researched everything and still can't get in anywhere."
Information is everywhere. Access is the problem. Bethesda has highly educated families who know exactly what their child needs and can't find a provider who will take them. Epic Minds starts you within two weeks of your first call, no exceptions.
"My child's behavior is affecting the whole family."
This is the thing most parents are afraid to say out loud. When behavior dysregulation affects siblings, mealtimes, sleep, and daily routines, everyone in the house feels it. ABA therapy works on the behaviors that create the most friction, and that relief ripples across the whole family.
"We've already spent so much on evaluations and therapies that didn't work."
We understand the exhaustion of investing and not seeing results. ABA therapy is the most research-backed intervention for autism, and our BCBA tracks data at every session so you always know if the plan is working and can course-correct early.
What changes when ABA therapy works
Communication
Walking along the Capital Crescent Trail, your child tells you they want to stop and rest. Clear sentence, unprompted. You find a bench.
Independence
Your child gets ready for school without a single reminder. Backpack, jacket, shoes. Out the door on time. You have five extra minutes and don't know what to do with them.
Connection
Bethesda Row on a Saturday, and your child walks through the crowd without shutting down. They stop at a window display and tell you what they see. You both keep walking.
Progress
Cabin John Park, and your child asks another child to share the swings. The other child moves over. Your child sits down and pumps their legs.
ABA therapy services in Bethesda, MD
In-home ABA therapy
Our RBTs come to your Bethesda home and work directly with your child using a BCBA-designed plan. Sessions target the goals your family has identified as most important, with data tracked at every visit.
School-based ABA therapy
We coordinate with Montgomery County Public Schools to bring ABA support into your child's classroom. Our team works with teachers and IEP coordinators to keep goals consistent between home and school.
Parent training
We teach you the same ABA strategies your child's RBT uses, so you can support goals during daily routines without needing to become a therapist yourself.
Community-based therapy
We practice skills in real environments where Bethesda families spend time: trails, parks, community spaces, and everyday destinations. Skills learned in real settings hold up better outside the therapy session.
Autism assessment and diagnosis
Through our partnership with As You Are, Bethesda families can access virtual autism assessments typically completed in two to three weeks. If your child doesn't have a diagnosis yet, we can help you get there quickly.
