How is BES Different?

Behavioral & Educational Solutions is practitioner-owned and operated, which sets us apart from other organizations that may be owned by large and distant investment firms. Our owner is an active, practicing clinician who is deeply involved in the field, ensuring that we stay up-to-date with the latest developments and best practices in behavioral health. BESDC stands out as a comprehensive behavioral health organization dedicated to providing high-quality, multidisciplinary services in a collaborative and nurturing environment. Here’s what makes us unique:

Autism Testing:

Our experienced psychologists conduct thorough psychological evaluations to diagnose Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and identify any co-occurring conditions. We understand that learning about an ASD diagnosis can be stressful and overwhelming, and discovering additional conditions can add to that burden. That’s why we aim to diagnose any co-occurring conditions and address them all at once, ensuring an accurate and complete understanding of your child’s needs.

Personalized ABA Therapy with a Whole-Family Focus:

Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), providing functional behavior assessments and developing effective behavior intervention plans. These plans are meticulously designed to address specific behaviors and skill deficits while being personalized to support not just the child, but the entire family unit. Understanding that no two children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are the same, we tailor our ABA therapy to meet the unique needs of each child and family, ensuring that our approach is both effective and family-centered.

One-Stop Comprehensive Care with our Integrated Team:

At BES, we provide a seamless experience through our integrated care team, combining the expertise of psychologists, licensed clinical social-workers (LCSW), licensed professional counselors (LPC), Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), and registered behavior therapists. Our psychologists handle diagnosis, the LCSW and LPC handle individual and family counseling, while our BCBAs and RBTs focus on ABA treatment. This collaborative, interdisciplinary approach ensures continuity of care and a holistic understanding of each child’s and family’s needs, aligning treatment goals across cognitive, emotional, and behavioral domains for better outcomes. By offering all necessary services within one agency, we reduce the likelihood of conflicting recommendations or disjointed treatment approaches, saving you time and energy.

Early Intervention with Diverse and Accessible Services:

At BES, we maximize your child’s potential by starting support as early as possible, ensuring that interventions are both timely and effective. Our commitment to compassionate care means we’re here to guide you every step of the way, providing a supportive and understanding environment for your family. We offer our services in a variety of settings—school, home, via telehealth through a HIPAA-compliant platform, or in our Silver Spring clinic—to accommodate your needs. To ensure accessibility and effective communication for diverse families, services are provided in English, Spanish, Amharic, or Mandarin.
