ABA therapy built for Linden families
Linden is a tight-knit Union County community where families balance work, school, and daily routines around the Rahway River and the bustling Elizabeth Avenue corridor. In-home ABA therapy fits seamlessly into this rhythm: a dedicated therapist works with your child in your living room or play area, using everyday moments-like snack time or bath time-to teach communication, social, and self-care skills. There's no need to drive across town; therapy happens where your child feels safest.
For children attending Linden Public Schools (e.g., School #1, #2, #4, #5, #6, #8, #9, or Linden High School), Liftoff coordinates closely with the district's child study team to align in-home ABA goals with any IEP or 504 plan. We also support families who are part of Union County's special-services programs, ensuring consistency between school-based supports and our in-home sessions. Whether your child is in early intervention through NJEIS or receiving services via PerformCare, our BCBAs design plans that respect your family's unique schedule and Union County resources.
