About our ABA Practice in Frederick, Maryland

Applied Behavior and Learning Consultants was founded by Dr. Angela Hess, BCBA-D, in 2017 with a mission to provide high-quality ABA services to children and families experiencing behavioral difficulties at home, at school, or in the community. Using the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis, our clinicians work with families, teachers, staff, related service providers, and professionals to assist individuals with disabilities in gaining essential life skills. Our clinicians work with clients and families to determine a plan of action to increase communication, self-help and daily living, play and leisure, social skills, and social-emotional regulation. When clients engage in maladaptive behaviors that interfere with their ability to learn and fully participate in their home and community, our team identifies interventions that the whole team can implement and feel comfortable implementing.

We believe each child has a unique potential. Unlocking that potential can be difficult without the proper professional guidance and intervention. Applied Behavior Analysis is uniquely suited to analyzing human behavior, including language and learning. By using interventions proven by research to increase positive skills and reduce negative behaviors, Behavior Analysts can improve the lives of individuals and their families.
