Holistic Support for Every Child’s Journey
Comprehensive Care Tailored to Your Child’s Needs
At SPARKS, we are dedicated to nurturing the unique potential of children with autism through a holistic and heartfelt approach.
Our comprehensive services are designed to support your child’s journey, offering everything from thorough diagnostics to innovative therapy solutions.
Whether it’s the vibrant environment of our Learning Centers, in the comfort of your home, or the familiarity of community settings, we provide personalized and effective care. We help children grow and thrive in a supportive and understanding atmosphere.
Our comprehensive services include:
 |
Diagnostics — We specialize in testing for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). If you suspect your child is showing signs of autism, we can perform a complete evaluation and provide answers. Learn more about our diagnostic services. |
|
Learning Centers — Our Learning Centers — located in southern Maryland and northern Virginia — offer personalized ABA services with skilled behavior technicians. Your child receives one-on-one attention in playful learning spaces, working on personal goals individually and in groups. Our program includes social skills groups that use ABA techniques to help your child form friendships, boost confidence, and explore interests in a supportive atmosphere. |
|
Home — We work closely with your child at home for a set number of hours each week. Our approach is tailored to your child’s unique plan, seamlessly integrating applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy into your daily family life. These relaxed home sessions help them develop social interaction, communication, and play skills, and can focus on specific areas, such as toilet training or personal hygiene. |
|
Community — We weave ABA services into your family’s everyday life, whether at the park, grocery store, or other familiar places. By engaging in community settings, we aim to help your child reach their treatment goals naturally and effectively. |
Our mission is to provide personalized, effective care that helps every child reach their full potential.

Launchpad Learning Program
Our Launchpad program is tailored for children with autism, ages 2 to 6, who are ready to transition from one-on-one learning to a group setting. The program prepares your child for kindergarten or first grade by balancing group activities and individual instruction.
Half of the day is dedicated to group activities with a 3:1 staff-child ratio, fostering teamwork and independence. The other half focuses on personalized instruction, targeting specific areas for personal growth.
We recognize the importance of a smooth transition from early intervention to a school environment. Launchpad is designed to bridge that gap, supporting your child’s ongoing development and success.
Tiny Tots Program
Our Tiny Tots Program is designed for children ages 16 months to 4 years. It offers support to families seeking answers about their child’s diagnosis or wanting to learn more about applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy for autism. The program features sensory-friendly activities for caregivers and children to enjoy together. Join us on the third Saturday of every other month to explore and engage in a supportive environment.
