ABA therapy in Salisbury, MD, plus telehealth therapy and medication

For Salisbury and Wicomico County: in-home ABA therapy for children with autism, and therapy and medication management by video or phone for ages 6 and up.

Three separate services. ABA staffing confirmed when you call.

In-home ABA for Salisbury families

ABA with Hearthway happens where your child lives: at home and in community settings around Salisbury. A board certified behavior analyst leads the plan and trained behavior technicians run the sessions, so skills are practiced in the places your child uses them every day.

ABA is for children and young adults under 21 with an autism diagnosis, through Maryland Medicaid. Carelon Behavioral Health approves it before sessions start, and our office sends that request.

Therapy and medication management by telehealth

Our other two services reach Salisbury by video or phone. Individual therapy with a licensed clinician is for children from age 6, teens and adults. Medication management starts with a psychiatric evaluation with a licensed nurse practitioner, and prescriptions go to the Salisbury-area pharmacy you choose. No referral is needed for either.

Staffing on the Lower Eastern Shore

Wicomico County is on the Lower Eastern Shore with Dorchester, Somerset and Worcester counties, a region we focus on. Because ABA is in person, we confirm we can staff your child's sessions in your area before anything is scheduled. We would rather tell you honestly than promise a start date we can't meet.

What to have ready for ABA

  • Your child's Maryland Medicaid card
  • The comprehensive diagnostic evaluation report
  • A referral for ABA from a qualified health care professional
  • The Clinical Confirmation Form, if your child's age and date of diagnosis require it
  • Your child's IEP or 504 plan, if they have one
