Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Children’s Specialized ABA located, and what areas do you serve?

Our autism therapy center is located at 178 West Veterans Highway, Jackson, NJ 08527, serving families in Jackson, Jackson Township, and surrounding communities with whole‑child ABA therapy and related supports.

At the Jackson Center, we provide personalized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, home‑based ABA options, psychological evaluations, and parent support groups, all designed to support children’s development and family success.

At Children’s ABA, licensed speech‑language pathologists (SLPs) assess each child’s unique communication strengths and challenges to create a personalized therapy plan. These plans are tailored to support goals such as clearer speech, improved language understanding, and better social communication skills.

Children of various ages are supported, with early intervention programs typically for younger children and structured after‑school care for school‑age children. The center offers standard hours and extended after‑school options to accommodate your family’s schedule.

To get started, you can contact the center by phone or online to arrange an initial consultation. A Board‑Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will assess your child’s strengths and needs to develop a personalized therapy plan.

ABA therapy uses evidence‑based methods tailored to each child’s unique strengths and challenges. By focusing on skill development, behavior support, and family involvement, it helps children build communication, social, and daily living skills in both structured and real‑world settings.

She has mentored many aspiring behavior analysts and psychologists. She has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology and applied behavior analysis at Queens College and Caldwell University, and, during her time on the faculty at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, she served as chair for numerous graduate thesis projects.
