Children’s Specialized ABA offers comprehensive autism care throughout New Jersey. From diagnostic evaluations to personalized therapy plans, our in-home and center-based ABA services are designed to support your child’s unique developmental needs.
Our team handles insurance and eligibility so you can focus on what matters most—your child’s growth and progress.
We guide families through a continuum of care that begins with a psychologist-led diagnostic evaluation for autism. After a diagnosis is made, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) conducts an initial assessment of treatment goals to identify your child’s developmental needs, recommended support level, and treatment hours.
From there, a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) delivers personalized ABA therapy based on your child’s care plan—in your home or at one of our centers. Our team is committed to clinical excellence and is with your family every step of the way, offering insight, support, and guidance throughout the entire care process.
Our whole-child approach looks beyond behavior to support your child’s overall development—including communication, social interaction, and emotional growth. Every service we offer is delivered with clinical rigor, compassion, and a commitment to progress.
