Center-Based Support
Build school readiness through structured, center-based ABA
Building a solid foundation in the early years sets children up to learn with confidence throughout their lives
We leverage Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to drive measurable results in a structured yet playful learning environment that mirrors the classroom setting. Our center-based programs located in Downtown Cranford and Watchung combine the proven effectiveness of ABA therapy with the benefits of peer interaction and consistent routines."
Our School-Readiness Programs serve children ages 2-6 in a preschool-style small-group setting, with individualized 1:1 learning built in for every child.
Through naturalistic learning and play-based activities, we focus on classroom routines, social skills, independence, and collaborative skills that set children up for success.
Navigating a new diagnosis can feel overwhelming
We’re here to simplify things for you. Services for our insured clients can be summed up in four key phases.
01
Coverage Review
We can help you confirm your in- or out-of-network coverage if your child has an autism diagnosis.
For uninsured clients or cases unrelated to autism, we offer private pay services. See below for more information. To get the process started, please complete our Intake Form.
02
Assessment
Once your insurance provider approves services, we begin with a formal skills assessment and functional behavior assessment. We’ll observe the challenging behaviors your child is exhibiting, identify the purpose, and recommend appropriate alternative behaviors.
We’ll use this assessment to develop a treatment plan and goals that aim to help your child gain independence in a natural, play-based environment.
03
Program Implementation
Once our treatment plan and goals have been approved by your insurer, we’ll pair a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) with your child and commence our program.
This is the fun part! Your RBT will conduct regular sessions and your supervising BCBA will review progress weekly. The BCBA will also provide parent coaching to ensure you and any other caregivers can keep making progress after our sessions.
04
Review, Adjust, Progress
Every six months, we will conduct a new assessment and submit the results to your insurer.
We’ll help you navigate your insurer’s response and adjust our treatment plan and goals accordingly to support your child’s continued progress.
Please Note: ABA is an evidence-based intensive therapy. The weekly time commitment can vary depending on individual needs but our 1:1 sessions typically occur five days per week during one of our three session blocks: (9am-12pm, 12:30pm-3:30pm, 3:45-6:45pm). A minimum commitment of three sessions per week is required to ensure sufficient opportunities to target long and short term goals.
