ZIP codes we serve in Chevy Chase

20815. Nearby ZIPs too; if yours is close, call and we will confirm.

Under 3? Start with early intervention too

Early intervention for children under 3 runs through the Montgomery County Infants and Toddlers Program. It is free, it can run alongside ABA, and we can help you get both started.

School-age? Know the two evaluation paths

Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) evaluates for school services through Child Find and an IEP. Insurance-covered ABA needs a medical diagnosis, which is separate. Most families do both, and we coordinate with the school with your consent.

Need a diagnosis first?

Families near Chevy Chase most often get evaluated at Children's National Hospital (Rockville and DC) and Kennedy Krieger in Baltimore. Waits can be long, so call us while you wait and we will have insurance verified by the time the report is in.

Our nearest office, 400 E Pratt St, Baltimore, MD 21202, is about 60 minutes from Chevy Chase. Your child's sessions happen at home, so you never make that drive: our team lives and works in your area.
