Achieving True Self

Achieving True Self
People Matter. A concept so simply stated, yet powerfully embraced.

At Achieving True Self (ATS), we believe every individual deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, connect, and achieve their truest sense of self.

ATS provides compassionate, evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children and young adults (up to age 21) with autism and other developmental needs throughout Hagerstown and Washington County. Our services are designed around each individual and family, with care available in the home, in community settings, and at our Center for Achievement in Hagerstown.

Our Hagerstown Center for Achievement offers a welcoming, supportive environment where individuals can build communication, social, daily living, and other meaningful skills through individualized ABA therapy. Center-based services also provide opportunities to practice skills alongside peers and prepare for greater independence across home, school, and community environments.

We know that no two individuals, and no two families, are alike. That’s why our experienced clinical teams work collaboratively with families to develop personalized treatment plans based on each individual’s strengths, needs, goals, and truly, everyday life. Parents and caregivers are valued members of the team, with support and guidance woven throughout the therapeutic process.

While we are proud to be part of the Hagerstown community, Achieving True Self is a multi-state provider serving individuals and families across Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Across every community we serve, our mission remains the same: to change the world by instilling hope and helping each person whose life we touch achieve their truest self.

Whether therapy happens around the kitchen table, while practicing skills out in the community, or inside our Hagerstown Center for Achievement, our goal is bigger than just mastering skills. We want the individuals we serve to use those skills where they matter most: in their everyday lives.

At Achieving True Self, we don’t simply provide ABA therapy. We partner with families, celebrate progress in all forms, and help create opportunities for greater confidence, connection, independence, and belonging.
