A Collaborative Approach to Care
Families deserve more than a one-size-fits-all plan. That’s why our care begins with understanding your child as an individual. Our process includes:
Autism diagnostic evaluation
Conducted by a licensed psychologist, this comprehensive evaluation helps determine whether a child meets criteria for an autism spectrum diagnosis. It provides clarity for families and lays the foundation for an individualized care path. This service is available without a waitlist.
Initial assessment of treatment goals
Led by a board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA), this step involves developing a customized therapy plan tailored to your child’s strengths and needs. The BCBA works closely with families to identify priorities, set measurable goals, and determine the appropriate therapy setting and hours. This collaborative process ensures that your child’s care is both effective and family-aligned.
From there, our team works with your family to implement an individualized strategy focused on communication, life skills, learning behaviors, and peer interaction. Our New Jersey ABA team builds each program to match your child’s level of support, while keeping your family involved at every step.

ABA therapy in New Jersey
Our core program is applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy. This evidence-based approach focuses on teaching new skills and reducing challenging behaviors by breaking them down into smaller, achievable steps. ABA therapy has been proven to be highly effective in improving outcomes for children with autism. We tailor our center-based and home-based programs to meet your child’s individual needs.

Our wide range of autism therapy services across New Jersey include:
- In-school ABA support: Therapy services are integrated directly into your child’s school environment to promote consistency and growth across settings.
