Fall enrollment is now open at TLBC!

Our Silver Spring center offers a place for children to learn, play, connect, and grow through individualized, play-based ABA services.

At TLBC, learning doesn’t have to happen sitting at a table. It can happen while building, pretending, playing with friends, exploring new interests, practicing everyday routines, and doing the things kids naturally love to do. 💛

Our center-based programs focus on meaningful skills like communication, self-advocacy, independence, social connection, and participation in everyday life, while making plenty of room for what matters most: being a kid.

We have limited openings available for Fall 2026 at our Silver Spring, MD center.

There are so many interesting articles being published in the ABA field, but with busy schedules and competing priorities, it can be hard to find time to actually sit down and talk about them.

On April 14 at 6:00 PM, The Language and Behavior Center is hosting a virtual journal discussion on the article:

Ableism in Applied Behavior Analysis: A Beginner’s Guide to Understanding and Dismantling Ableism in Practice with Autistic People.

We’ll be offering 1 CEU for BCBAs who participate in the discussion.

If you enjoy thoughtful conversations about how we can continue improving our field, we’d love to have you join us.

You can find the event details and RSVP here:

We know, we know - ABA is data-driven, not star-driven.
But sometimes it’s okay to laugh a little. Here are the zodiac signs as BCBAs… do you see yourself in yours?
