ABA therapy built for Berkeley Heights families
Berkeley Heights is a close-knit community in Union County where family life often revolves around local schools like Mary Kay McMillin Early Childhood Center or Columbia Middle School, and weekend trips to the Watchung Reservation. In-home ABA therapy fits seamlessly into this rhythm: our BCBA-designed plans work around your child's school schedule, after-school activities, and family routines, all within the comfort of your own home. This eliminates the stress of commuting to a clinic and allows therapy to generalize naturally into daily life-whether it's during mealtime, playtime, or bedtime.
We coordinate closely with the Berkeley Heights Public Schools Child Study Team to align our ABA goals with your child's IEP or 504 plan, ensuring consistency between home and school. For younger children, we can also collaborate with Union County's early intervention services through NJEIS. Our dedicated therapist-one per child-builds a trusting relationship in your home, while our BCBA supervises and adjusts the plan as your child progresses. This local, hands-on approach means your family gets the support you need without the red tape.
