In-home ABA across Essex County

From the vibrant streets of Newark to the tree-lined neighborhoods of Montclair, Maplewood, and Verona, Liftoff ABA serves a wide range of Essex County communities. Our in-home model means therapy happens where children feel most comfortable: at home. This approach fits naturally into daily routines, allowing our BCBA-designed plans to focus on communication, social skills, and independence-all while reducing travel stress for families.

Essex County is home to diverse public and private school districts, each with its own Child Study Team (CST). Liftoff coordinates directly with these CSTs and other local providers to ensure seamless support for children receiving ABA therapy through their school or Early Intervention. Whether your child is in Belleville, Bloomfield, East Orange, Irvington, Livingston, Nutley, South Orange, or West Orange, we help bridge home and school progress.

Our dedicated therapist works one-on-one with each child, supervised by a BCBA, and we accept most major insurance plans including NJ FamilyCare (NJ Medicaid). This means families in every part of Essex County-from suburban towns to urban centers-can access high-quality ABA therapy without the uncertainty of a waitlist.
