ABA therapy built for Hillside families
Hillside families know the rhythm of Union County life: school drop-offs at Hurden Looker Elementary or Hillside High, weekend trips to Warinanco Park, and evenings at the Hillside Public Library. In-home ABA therapy fits seamlessly into this routine-our dedicated therapist works with your child in the comfort of your home, around your family's schedule, whether that's after school or during morning play. We coordinate directly with Hillside Public Schools' child study team to align therapy goals with IEP objectives, so progress carries from the living room into the classroom.
Union County offers a strong network of support for children with autism, and Liftoff ABA helps Hillside families navigate it. We work alongside the Union County Educational Services Commission for specialized school placements when needed, and we can connect you with local pediatricians and early intervention providers. Because our therapy is in-home, there's no travel to a clinic-your child learns in the environment where they live, play, and grow, making skills more natural and lasting.
Many Hillside families rely on NJ Medicaid (NJ FamilyCare) or private insurance through employers in nearby Newark or Elizabeth. Liftoff ABA accepts all major plans-including Horizon, Cigna, Aetna, and -and we verify your benefits for free before starting. Our BCBA-led approach means every plan is personalized, with one consistent therapist who becomes a trusted part of your child's team.
