ABA therapy built for Princeton families
In Princeton, where the rhythms of family life often revolve around the Princeton Public Schools calendar and the many community programs in Mercer County, in-home ABA therapy can seamlessly fit into your daily routine. Our therapists work around your child's school schedule, coordinating with the local child study team when needed, so sessions don't disrupt academic or extracurricular activities. Whether your child attends Littlebrook or Riverside Elementary, we adjust session times to match dismissal, holidays, and summer breaks unique to Princeton.
Mercer County offers a vibrant network of support-from the Mercer County Special Services School District (MCSSSD) to local pediatric clinics at Penn Medicine Princeton Health. Liftoff ABA actively partners with these resources, ensuring your child's therapy complements any Early Intervention (NJEIS) services or school-based supports already in place. Our BCBAs can attend IEP meetings with your permission, aligning behavioral goals with the strategies used in the classroom. This local coordination means therapy is truly part of your child's life in Princeton, not an add-on.
Living in Princeton means access to exceptional pediatric care and inclusive community programs. Our in-home model eliminates the stress of travel to a clinic: sessions happen in your living room, playroom, or backyard-wherever your child is most comfortable. We respect each family's unique routine, whether that's a morning swim at the Princeton YMCA or an afternoon trip to Marquand Park. By embedding therapy into natural settings, we help children generalize skills to the world around them, right here in Mercer County.
