Local Care

ABA therapy built for Newark families

For Newark families juggling school drop-offs at Essex County public schools, after-work commutes, and busy weekend schedules, home-based ABA therapy removes travel time and fits naturally into your daily routine. A Liftoff therapist works with your child in the familiar setting of your own home, using the spaces and activities your family already knows.

We coordinate closely with your child's school team-including the Newark Public Schools Child Study Team-to align therapy goals with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or 504 plans, ensuring consistent support across home and classroom. Our BCBAs also understand the rhythms of Essex County, from local pediatrician referrals to navigating county-based early intervention services.
