ABA therapy built for Irvington families
Irvington families juggle busy schedules-school drop-offs at University Middle School or Irvington High, trips to the Irvington Public Library, and weekend outings to Essex County parks like Branch Brook Park. In-home ABA therapy fits seamlessly into these routines, eliminating travel to a clinic and allowing therapy to happen during natural moments: after school, during play, or around family meals. Your child's dedicated therapist works one-on-one in your living room or play area, building skills in the environment where they'll use them most.
Coordinating with Irvington's local school district child study team is a key part of our approach. Whether your child is in an inclusive classroom at Madison Avenue School or receiving special education services through the district, Liftoff's BCBA can collaborate with the team to align ABA goals with the Individualized Education Program (IEP). We also help families navigate Essex County resources, such as the Essex Regional Educational Services Commission, to ensure your child gets consistent support across school and home settings.
Autism resources for Irvington families
Liftoff ABA helps Irvington families connect with these local and statewide resources to build a comprehensive support network:
- Irvington Public Schools Child Study Team — Coordinates evaluations, IEPs, and special education services for children ages 3-21 in Irvington.
- New Jersey Early Intervention (NJEIS) — Provides developmental assessments and services for infants and toddlers (birth to age 3) with delays or disabilities.
- PerformCare NJ — The state's mental health and behavioral health managed care organization, offering referrals and crisis support for children with behavioral challenges.
- Essex County Special Services School District — Operates specialized programs and schools for students with disabilities who require more intensive support than their home district can provide.
