ABA therapy built for Hackensack families
Hackensack families lead busy lives, juggling school, work, and after-school activities typical of Bergen County communities. Our in-home ABA therapy fits seamlessly into your daily routine-whether that means sessions before the school bus arrives, during quiet afternoons, or in the evenings after homework. We work around your family's schedule, which is especially important given Hackensack Public Schools' structured calendar and the many extracurricular options available through the city's recreation programs.
Coordination with the Hackensack Public Schools Child Study Team is a natural part of our process. When a child has an IEP or is being evaluated, our BCBA can collaborate with school professionals to align in-home goals with classroom objectives. This teamwork helps ensure consistent support across settings. Additionally, for children under three, we partner with the New Jersey Early Intervention System (NJEIS) to supplement services at home, and for families navigating behavioral health needs, we provide guidance on working with PerformCare NJ and the Bergen County Special Services School District.
Our therapists become a trusted part of your Hackensack household. Because we assign one dedicated therapist per child, your child builds a consistent, comfortable relationship with a professional who understands their unique strengths and challenges. This approach reduces stress for the whole family and makes progress more natural and lasting.
