Meet Us
As two autism teachers working in the public school system, we had the privilege of supporting incredible children every day. But over time, we saw the challenges our students and their families faced outside the classroom — and we knew we wanted to do more.
We dreamed of creating something different in a field where large companies often take a one-size-fits-all approach. Our vision was to build a place that truly sees each child as an individual — supporting their growth across all environments, not just at school.
With a blend of our classroom experience, parenting insights, and deep belief in the power of ABA, Beltway ABA was born. Our mission has always been simple: to provide compassionate, personalized care that helps every child reach their full potential — and to support families every step of the way.
