Cultural Autism Learning & Motivation (CALM) was founded on the belief that every child deserves compassionate, culturally competent care to early treatment on the autism spectrum. In addition, we believe the families that advocate for their children should feel heard, understood, and supported. CALM is built on a community of advocates dedicated to making high-quality, autism-focused services accessible to every family we serve.
With a committed team of licensed and certified professionals, we deliver individualized treatment experiences that promote growth and independence. Our services are tailored around the unique needs of each child, keeping in mind the individuality of the family and the systems around them. We are committed to excellence and quality assurance on all fronts, ensuring families feel heard and get to the root of what they’ve been looking for.
CALM is currently servicing the Baltimore, Maryland & New York City areas.
In-Home ABA Therapy provides personalized behavioral support within the comfort of a child’s home environment. Our trained therapists work one-on-one with children using evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis techniques to improve communication, social interaction, behavior, and daily living skills. By practicing these skills in familiar surroundings and involving family members in the process, children can apply what they learn directly to their everyday routines while building confidence, independence, and meaningful progress.
Center-based ABA Therapy provides structured behavioral support in a specialized clinical setting designed to promote learning and development. In this environment, children work with trained therapists using evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis techniques to improve communication, social interaction, and daily living skills. Through structured activities and individualized programs, children build confidence, develop independence, and make meaningful progress in a supportive and engaging environment.
Behavior and Educational Consultation is a specialized service that provides professional guidance to parents, caregivers, and educators to better understand and support a child’s behavioral and learning needs. Through this service, we identify and address behavioral challenges such as difficulties with self-control, attention deficits, or social communication barriers. Using thorough assessments and observations, we develop personalized strategies tailored to each child, aimed at improving behavior, enhancing communication skills, and fostering effective learning habits.
Our goal is to create a supportive environment both at home and at school that encourages positive behavior, strengthens academic skills, and helps children reach their full potential. Families and educators receive clear guidance, actionable strategies, and ongoing support, ensuring meaningful progress in both the child’s emotional well-being and educational development.
My name is Gina, and I am a behavior analyst with CALM! I am a Jamaican-born native, and I have a deep passion for empowering individuals with autism through Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). My journey has been driven by a belief in its potential to make meaningful lasting changes in behavior, communication, and daily living skills. What I love most about ABA is its individualized approach — its not just about teaching skills, but about transforming lives, one goal at a time.
At Cultural Autism Learning & Motivation (CALM), I am committed to creating an inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and adapts to the unique needs of each person. CALM is more than a service provide; it’s a community that supports, motivates, and nurtures growth. I believe every individual has the potential to thrive, and its an honor to work alongside families as we help their children achieve greater independence and success.
